  So now hype trend in Putin's mind moved from Sarmat to Russian version of Project Pluto. Maybe it has something to do with Sarmat moonscaping the test facility... https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/9/24/russias-new-sarmat-missile-suffered-catastrophic-failure-researchers https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/9/24/russias-new-sarmat-... At this point I am only waiting on this missile to cause wide spread radioactive contamination across Russia and have Putin blame NATO for it.
