The nuclear war between Russia and Europe is a terrifying hypothesis for the whole world… or almost.
On Thursday 28 April, “60 Minutes”, Russia’s most watched talk show, explained to its viewers that it would take “200 seconds for a Sarmat nuclear missile, fired from the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, to reach and destroy Paris.
The public television channel Rossiya 1 broadcast an infographic with arrows pointing at three European capitals. “Berlin: 106 seconds, Paris: 200 seconds, London: 202 seconds”, comments the journalist on the air.
Projections that seemed to enthuse one of the guests on the set. “Look at this picture, count the seconds… hello, it (the missile) is already here. […] A Sarmat missile and it’s settled, there are no more British Isles. »
Missiles still being tested
As a reminder, the Russian Sarmat super-missile should not be deployed until the fall, the Kremlin announced. This intercontinental ballistic weapon has a theoretical range of 18,000 kilometers, according to the head of the Roscosmos space agency, Dmitry Rogozin.
Last week, Moscow tested for the first time the Satan 2, a Sarmat-type missile capable of carrying ten nuclear warheads. The missiles will be deployed in the Krasnoyarsk region of Siberia, about 3,000 kilometers east of the Russian capital, according to Dmitry Rogozin.
