    Late last week, Russia's military planned to launch a Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on a test flight from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome. Imagery from commercial satellites captured over the weekend suggest the missile exploded before or during launch.

    and

    ...unmistakable damage at the launch site, with a large crater centered on the opening to the underground silo.

    The crater is roughly 200 feet (62 meters) wide, according to George Barros, a Russia and geospatial intelligence analyst at the Institute for the Study of War. "Extensive damage in and around the launch pad can be seen which suggests that the missile exploded shortly after ignition or launch," Barros wrote on X.

    "Additionally, small fires continue to burn in the forest to the east of the launch complex and four fire trucks can be seen near the destroyed silo," Barros added.

    The Sarmat missile is Russia's largest ICBM, with a height of 115 feet (35 meters). It is capable of delivering nuclear warheads to targets more than 11,000 miles (18,000 kilometers) away, making it the longest-range missile in the world.
