Russia announced that it will test fire at least 5 new ballistic missiles this years. A new intercontinental ballistic missile system has some issues with reliability. If this initial test firings prove productive, Russia will subsequently seek to do more testing.
The submarine-launched Bulava missile has a reported maximum range of about 6,200 miles and capacity for up to six individually targeted nuclear warheads. It has been hailed as a key future component of Russia’s nuclear forces, although mixed results in testing have tempered enthusiasm.
