“We have weapons that are not available in the world. This, first of all, of course, means hypersonic weapons. Now we are developing plans, how to transfer from the Stilet, on which the Avangard is located, to the advanced missile systems under development - a combat maneuvering unit, ”the head of state said.

My understanding is that has always been the plan and the new launcher will deploy multiple Avangard instead of just the one on the SS-19 rocket.

When Sarmat is deployed it can easily carry several such gliders. I think they could stack ten of them. Sort of like a lotus flower
with the petals being the non-conic gliders.

I would be surprised with 10 as the SS19 can carry 6 MIRV's but apparently only has 1 Avangard.

The 6 warheads must be the large yield variety. It was supposed to be able to carry at least ten 500 kiloton warheads.
Also the Sarmat throw weight is larger than the Vojevoda.

The SS18 carries 10 MIRV's while the SS19 can only carry 6. The new Sarmat is to carry 10.
