The fire at the test site was recorded by NOAA-20 and SUOMI NPP satellites. The photos show a large crater in Plesetsk.
In Plesetsk, Russia, a Sarmat intercontinental missile exploded during a test. This was stated in a message from the OSINT project MeNMyRC referring to analyst MT Anderson.
Satellite images show a large crater in Plesetsk. This indicates that the missile likely exploded in a silo, destroying the test site. The fire at the test site was recorded by NOAA-20 and SUOMI NPP satellites.
As MeNMyRC clarified in relation to FlightRadar24 data, an American Boeing RC-135S Cobra Ball reconnaissance aircraft flew from an American base in Alaska to monitor the Sarmat tests, but it did not record the launch.
According to the expert, this can be explained by the fact that the explosion could not occur directly during the launch, but, for example, during the fuel loading process.

Sarmat’s longest test flight lasted just over two minutes, with the rocket flying more than 35 kilometers before losing control and crashing, according to CNBC.
We remind you that the only successful rocket launch happened on April 20, 2022. Russian dictator Vladimir Putin ordered Sarmat to be put on combat duty in 2022, which was done in September 2023.
Another simulacrum: the Sarmat rocket is Moscow’s new mediocre rattle
