The RS-28 Sarmat^[2] (Russian: РС-28 Сармат; NATO reporting name: SATAN 2), is a Russian liquid-fueled, MIRV-equipped, super-heavy thermonuclear armed intercontinental ballistic missile in development by the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau^[2] from 2009,^[3] intended to replace the previous R-36 missile. Its large payload would allow for up to 10 heavy warheads or 15 lighter ones or up to 24 hypersonic glide vehicles Yu-71,^[4]^[5] or a combination of warheads and massive amounts of countermeasures designed to defeat anti-missile systems;^[6]^[7] it was heralded by the Russian military as a response to the U.S. Prompt Global Strike.^[8]

In February 2014, a Russian military official announced the Sarmat was expected to be ready for deployment around 2020.^[9] In May that year another official source suggested that the program was being accelerated and that it would, in his opinion, constitute up to 100 percent of Russia's fixed land-based nuclear arsenal by 2021.^[8]^[10] At the end of June 2015, it was reported that the production schedule for the first prototype of the Sarmat was slipping.^[11]^[12] The RS-28 Sarmat is expected to become operational in 2016.^[13]

On 10 August 2016, Russia successfully tested the RS-28's first-stage engine named PDU-99 "ПДУ-99".^[14] The first image of this new missile was declassified and unveiled in October 2016.^[15]
