Bulava missiles are designed to carry nuclear warheads.
A new nuclear-powered submarine soon to join the ranks of the Russian Navy has successfully fired a ballistic missile as part of its final tests, Russia’s Defense Ministry announced today.
In the statement, the ministry said the Generalissimus Suvorov launched a Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile with a dummy warhead into the northern White Sea, which reached the test site in Kamchatka, Russia’s Far East.
Bulava missiles are designed to carry nuclear warheads.
The Generalissimus Suvorov is the second Borei-A type submarine to be built. Moscow says it is equipped with advanced navigation instruments, sonar and weapons systems to launch missiles and torpedoes.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in two speeches in September that he would use nuclear weapons if necessary to defend his country.
