MOSCOW - Russia has performed a successful test of a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). The Yuri Dolgoruky nuclear-powered submarine took part in this test.
The submarine fired the Bulava missile from a submerged position in the Barents Sea. The missile has a range of 9,300 kilometers. The missile's mock warheads reached their designated targets on the Kura range. This range is located on the far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula.
The Russian navy commissioned the Bulava after a long cycle of development. This missile carries six nuclear warheads.
The Yuri Dolgoruky is the first Borei-class submarine to carry the Bulava missile. The Russian Navy has three Borei class submarines. A further five Borei class boats are under construction.
