Putin asserted that the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile is a "truly unique weapon" even as the Russian defence ministry said, "Sarmat is the most powerful missile with the longest range of destruction of targets in the world." It can evade anti-missile defence systems and has multiple warheads.
The Sarmat is reportedly Russia's next-generation "invincible" weapon. Russia also has the Kinzhal and Avangard hypersonic missiles.
Russia has already used the Kinzhal hypersonic missile against Ukraine.
