Today Russia tweeted a video of a test launch claiming they have a new missile that could reportedly reach the U.S. coast and take out an area the size of Texas.

ABC News reports:

“Russia’s military on Friday said it had successfully carried out a second test launch of its most advanced nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile.

The country’s defense ministry released a video showing what it said was the launch of a RS-28 ‘Sarmat’ missile from a base in Plesetsk in northwest Russia, close to the Arctic Circle.”

Newsweek reports:

“The test came as the Kremlin denied a U.S. report claiming President Donald Trump challenged his Russian counterpart during their telephone call earlier this month. While congratulating President Vladimir Putin on his March 18 election victory last week, Trump warned, “If you want to have an arms race, we can do that, but I’ll win,” NBC News reported Thursday, citing two unnamed White House officials.”

This action comes after Russia closed the U.S. consulate in Saint Petersburg and expelled 60 U.S. diplomats. That move was in retaliation for the Trump administration’s decision to expel 60 Russian diplomats after the poisoning of a former Russia spy in the UK.
