Russia 's new RS-28 Sarmat ICBM ICBM appeared to suffer a catastrophic failure during testing in September .

It's meant to replace the Soviet-era R-36 ICBM, which first entered service in 1988 .

Without the new ICBM Russia has to rely on older missiles that won't last forever, experts warn.

Russia has the world's largest nuclear arsenal, but it's having trouble getting its newest missile to work.

The most recent Sarmat test test was "catastrophic," says Hoffman .

Hoffman : "If I was Russia , I think at this point I would be concerned about that" Wright : " Sarmat 's designed to fulfill a very specific purpose, which is to essentially have lots of warheads on top of it" There is no direct replacement in Russia 's arsenal.
