Vladimir Putin has vowed to send the world-ending Satan-2 nuclear-capable missile into active combat.
The chilling threat came as he marked Russia's Defender of the Fatherland Day with a message broadcast to the public about the Kremlin's looming military plans.
The warlord told Russians that the "first launchers of the Saramat missile system with a new heavy missile are taking up combat duty".
He said the Sarmat - which is the lead element of the country's triple threat nuclear deterrent - will be supported by continuing the production of the Kinzhal air-launched hypersonic systems.
Putin also promised to start delivering the Zirkon sea-launched hypersonic missiles to the Armed Forces.

Troops will also be supported with "new strike systems, reconnaissance and communications equipment, drones and artillery systems," the tyrant said.

He told The Sun: “Conflict is coming by the end of this decade, whether it is a cold war or hot, war is coming.
“We just have to recognise that in order to deter you just have to be ready, you have to be equipped and you have to stand with your friends and your allies.”

Satan-2 missile, also known as Sarmat in Russia, is said to be behind schedule and Putin’s inner circle is believed to fear “sabotage” over a delayed test schedule.
US sources told CNN that a test in recent days appears to have failed, without more detail of how or why it had gone awry.
