The head of the Roscosmos space agency, Dmitry Rogozin showed Russia intends to deploy the new intercontinental ballistic missile this year. We plan to do it no later than autumn,” he told the Rossiya 24 TV channel. 

In an interview with Russian nation television that the missiles might be deployed with a unit within side the Krasnoyarsk vicinity of Siberia approximately 1,860 miles east of Moscow. "This truly unique weapon will strengthen the combat potential of our armed forces, reliably ensure Russia's security from external threats and provide food for thought for those who, in the heat of frenzied aggressive rhetoric, try to threaten our country."

After Wednesday’s test launch, Russian president Vladimir Putin said the Sarmat could overcome any missile defence system and would make those who threaten Russia “think twice” about doing so.
