Something about the Sarmat and R-36M series ICBM
This test took place near Yasny ,Orenburg region, the site of last year's accident, should using a Dnepr rocket silo (in Yasny, Dnepr rocket only used two silos).
Sarmat's first-stage tank appears to be longer, while the second-stage tank is smaller (considering the angle, the difference is still significant).
The layout of the Sarmat's interstage and second-stage may differ from the R-36Ms (a new second-stage engine was used? The sarmat's interstage has no openings, while R-36Ms normally has four openings.).
The fuel tank manufacturing process is different (refer to R-36M2 in Ukraine rocket museum and "combat approved" TV show ).
Sarmat has FOBS capability (hello ,R-36orb).
A new gray coating was used, but the fairing was not coated with this layer (the fairings of Russia's current Topol-M series and Sarmat seem to lack this coating You can see a texture similar to carbon fiber).
The command center footage used by TASS is likely from a training facility in RVSN's Military Academy.
