From Satan to Sarmat

Russia tested the RS-28 Sarmat heavy ICBM, which will replace the

SS-18/RS-36M Satan.

What's it for?

Aaron and Jeffrey talk about the

role of heavy ICBMs, the foundational assumption for counterforce, the

rise of orbital bombardment systems (FOBS!!!!!!!!), the collapse of

the ABM Treaty and the future of space-based interceptors.
