MOSCOW (AP) -- A new Russian intercontinental ballistic missile is capable of carrying several hypersonic weapons, a senior Russian military officer said

A new Russian intercontinental ballistic missile is capable of carrying several hypersonic weapons, a senior Russian military officer said Sunday.

The Sarmat missile can carry up to 15 nuclear warheads and has a range of 35,000km (22,000 miles).

LONDON: Russia said on Saturday that it plans to deploy its newly tested Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), capable of mounting nuclear strikes against the United States, by the autumn of this year.

Dmitry Rogozin, head of the Roscosmos space agency, said in an interview with Russian state TV that the missiles would be deployed with a unit in the Krasnoyarsk region of Siberia, about 3,000 km (1,860 miles) east of Moscow.

Fiona Hill, a British-born Russia expert and former White House intelligence adviser, said Putins nuclear blackmail was likely to increase the international demand for nuclear arms.
