strange the US is staying mum on this... could it be because its not a smaller, less capable country, i. e. someone their own size..
maybe we should invade Russia and take down putin... where are the 'sanctions'? why do we never invade or go to wars with countries not 1/32nd our size.... odd coincidence.
Right?
I haven't even heard Trump come up with a funny nickname for Putin on twitter yet..

The bad guys always lose so if that is the name than I doubt they will get it up. And even if they attempt, it will not reach or hit it's target anyway. Maybe someone should invent some big nets in a rocket and then catapult that stuff back to where it came from. From a few planes with some practice it's doable. Some are pretty good at grappling too, like this. Obviously the car would be the missile, the policecar the plane and the chased car the missile. Works with aircrafts too. Once they know, they will try to make it too but I estimate only one country will be able to.

Perhaps the question (that noone seems to be asking...) is "Why is Russia (seemingly) sabre rattling all of the sudden?" We apparently know their capabilities, as they do ours. Why this sudden "flamboyant display of military power"?
No offense to OP, but why would Putin target Western Europe? Right outside his back yard?
This thing can potentially fly over 6,000 miles...the USA mainland is in the target range...
just a thought...

Erm, what?
This is completely indecipherable.
From what I can gather you're saying the missile won't work because it's named Satan 2, even though it isn't actually called Satan 2, that's just the NATO reporting name.
I imagine the missile will work. Russian missiles generally work. They've been building them since the late 40s. Plenty of experience.
Then you say we should have a big net to catapult rockets back where they came from? Do you have any idea how nuclear weapons work?
Read this if you're actually interested in how something like the RS-28 Sarmat actually works.
Here's a diagram of a broadly similar weapon system, the US Minuteman
Then some stuff about cars and grappling, what the hell?

It's not sabre rattling. It's called modernisation. They develop new missiles as missile technology improves and older missiles become outdated. They need to test their weapons to see if they work. Nobody would deploy an untested weapon system.
The west does it too.
Nobody is complaining because they were likely informed well in advance (as to not mistake it for a live launch as has happened in the past) and tests like this are somewhat routine.

Beware UK! Your Trident II - D5 won't work, and will simply fall off the sky and harmlessly into the ground.
These are not UK missiles. They are US missiles.
