The Russia Defense Ministry reported Sunday it test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile from a new nuclear submarine as tensions with the West worsen during the war in Ukraine.
The Russian military on Sunday reported that it successfully test launched an intercontinental ballistic missile designed to carry nuclear warheads from a new nuclear submarine. The Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement that the Imperator Alexander III strategic missile cruiser fired the Bulava missile from an underwater position in Russia's northern White Sea, and hit a target in the far-eastern region of Kamchatka.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, launching a ballistic missile is the final test for the vessel, after which a decision should be made on its induction into the fleet. The Russian navy currently has three Borei-class submarines in service, one more is finishing tests and three others are under construction, the Defense Ministry said. Russian President Vladimir Putin has increased military spending since rising to power in 1999, according to Reuters.
Russian sources told Reuters that the Imperator Alexander III is the seventh of the Russian Project 955 Borei class nuclear submarines and the fourth of the modernized Borei-A variant. Sources say they are known in NATO as the Dolgoruky class of submarines, after the first boat – the Yuri Dolgoruky – became the first new generation of nuclear submarine launched by Russia since the Cold War. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
