MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia on Friday successfully tested its new submarine-launched Bulava intercontinental missile, designed to carry nuclear warheads, the defense ministry said in a statement.
It said the nuclear submarine Alexander Nevsky fired the missile from under water in the Barents Sea and it landed on a military training ground in Russia’s far eastern peninsula of Kamchatka, as planned.
The 12-metre-long (39.4 feet) weapon is intended to become the cornerstone of Russia’s nuclear forces.
The last test was successfully carried out in September after the development of Bulava, or Mace, had been delayed by numerous failed launches.
President Vladimir Putin said after the previous test that Russia must maintain its nuclear deterrent to counter growing security threats. Ties between Moscow and the West have hit new lows over the crisis in Ukraine.

Everything of any military value/significance to the US has been / is / will be neutered by the America Hating President.
The sad part is Obeelzebub would love nothing more than for Russia to drop one of those in the US.
How would you like several hundred Main Battle Tanks show up on the Mexican border with California as well as front line fighters and MI24 helicopters and all the while training and organizing raids by Mexico into border towns shooting up houses? How would you like your country ringed in with military bases around your country in violation of an 1992 agreement not to do that?
Russia is going to protect itself. 2n’d amendment cites a god given right to self defiance and strong offence if attacked. It has to apply to everyone or it means nothing. We are Americans, and we keep our words just as we keep our swards.
Who needs a sub…russia bring back the nuke train. Kind of like soul train but with a bigger bang…
