* Vladimir Putin's regime has announced it will deploy fearsome nuclear-capable 'Satan II' missile this autumn 

* The devastating Sarmat missile is said to be the world's longest-range intercontinental ballistic missile 

* Western military experts said the Sarmat is capable of carrying 10 or more nuclear warheads and decoys

Putin's regime has announced it will deploy the fearsome nuclear-capable 'Satan II' missile it recently tested in a show of strength by autumn, in a further ratcheting of tensions between Russia and the West as Moscow redoubles its brutal war on Ukraine. 

The Sarmat missile is said to be the world's longest-range intercontinental ballistic missile, capable of striking a target 11,200 miles away - meaning it could easily strike targets in the US and Europe. 

Western military experts said the Sarmat is capable of carrying 10 or more nuclear warheads and decoys - easily enough to wipe out territories the size of Britain or France in a single strike.
