Russia’s plans for their ‘doomsday’ hypersonic missiles have been delayed for years after the Satan-2 missile exploded during a test launch.

‌The huge detonation destroyed Russia’s only site suitable for testing the doomsday hypersonic rocket, the centrepiece of Vladimir Putin’s bragging of nuclear superiority compared to the West.

‌The explosion at Plesetsk is now known to have partially wrecked an observation building close to the launch site, with fears some of Russia’s lead rocket scientists could be dead.

‌Experts say the test programme for the rocket – also known as RS-28 Sarmat – may now be delayed for years, or could even be aborted after a series of failed launches.‌

Satellite images show a giant 200ft wide crater and scorched earth on the site of the Satan-2 launch shaft.

‌Fires raged for six-to-twelve hours after the catastrophic incident as firefighters attempted to fight the blaze.
