Russia's newly tested intercontinental ballistic missile known as "Satan II" will be deployed by the end of the year, Vladimir Putin has warned.

The Russian president said "We will continue to develop and strengthen our armed forces, taking into account potential military threats and risks," Putin said in a meeting with military graduates. "There is no doubt that we will be even stronger."

The ballistic missile, officially named Sarmat, reportedly has a range of 18,000km (11,000 miles) and can deliver between 10 and 15 nuclear warheads at hypersonic speeds.
