Russian submarine successfully test-fires new intercontinental ballistic missile<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Russian military says it has successfully test-fired a submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile.<\/p>\n

The 9,300-kilometer (5,770 miles) range Bulava missile was launched from a submerged position in the Barents Sea. The defense ministry said the missile’s mock warheads reached their designated targets on the opposite side of Russia \u2014 the Kura shooting range on the far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula,\u00a0 according to Russia’s TASS news agency<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe strategic Borey-class nuclear submarine, Yuri Dolgoruky, has successfully fired the Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) from a designated area in the Barents Sea to the Kura Missile Test Range in Kamchatka,\u201d the Russian Ministry of Defense said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“According to the confirmed data from\u00a0the registering equipment, the intercontinental ballistic missile warheads performed a full cycle of the flight and successfully hit the designated targets at the practice range,” the\u00a0statement added.<\/p>\n

The Bulava, which has been commissioned by the Russian Navy after a long cycle of development, carries six nuclear warheads.<\/p>\n

The Yuri Dolgoruky is the first in a series of Borei-class submarines carrying the Bulava. Russia now has three such submarines, and five more are under construction to gradually replace some of the older Soviet-built ones.<\/p>\n

Yuri Dolgoruky is one of Russia\u2019s most significant vessels in its north, a region that Moscow has prioritized for military development in its current reinforcement strategy.<\/p>\n

The Russian Navy’s\u00a0Northern Fleet operates in the region, and the government has vowed to grow its presence considerably\u00a0in the high north of the country by 2030.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
