Russia has issued a fresh nuclear warning toward NATO as military analyst Igor Korotchenko claimed a single Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile could “wipe out” nations like France or the United Kingdom. Speaking to Russian state outlet Sputnik, Korotchenko said the missile carries over ten guided warheads and can strike targets through both the North and South Poles. The warning came as Russia released footage of a new Sarmat test launch and President Vladimir Putin praised the missile as the world’s most powerful strategic weapon. The escalation raises fears of deeper NATO-Russia confrontation as global tensions already surge over Ukraine and the Hormuz crisis.
