MOSCOW, September 9 (RIA Novosti) – Russia’s
nuclear submarine Vladimir Monomakh has
departed its port to hold a test launch of the
intercontinental ballistic Bulava (SS-NX-32)
missile in the North Sea, a source in the Sevmash
Shipyard told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.
“The nuclear-powered submarine, the Vladimir
Monomakh, has left Sevmash, the ship has been
preliminarily prepared, and it should return before
September 11,” the source said.
Earlier, Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said
that two launches would take place in 2014. The
first would be from the Vladimir Monomakh in
September, and the second would be in
November.
Bulava is Russia's cutting-edge intercontinental
ballistic missile (ICBM). Equipped with 10
warheads with a 9,000-kilometer range, it is even
capable of withstanding nuclear attack.
Test launches of the Bulava have been
experiencing some problems. Last September
during state trials of the Aleksander Nevsky
nuclear-powered submarine a Bulava rocket
experienced a malfunction. Following this incident
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered
to hold five additional launches of Bulava
missiles.
Intercontinental ballistic missile R-30 Bulava
should become primary weapon for ballistic
missile submarines of the Borei class (Project
955), which is intended to replace the Delta III,
Delta IV and Typhoon classes now in Russian
Navy service.
The main submarine of this project is Yury
Dolgoruky. By now there have been 19 test
launches, with 8 of them successful, 4 partially
successful and the rest unsuccessful. The last
test took place last September in the White Sea.

who these oyinbosthey scare? we know they are just too greedy to nuke what will feed them, which ones be all this gragra?
the thing is oyinbo believes in the coming of Jesus Christ. they know it for sure that Jesus is not coming to hug them, rather to kill them, shed their blood (not all that are righteous and just amongst them). they know they can't win, yet always preparing. the nuke is for "if they can't continue their rule, then they may as well blow it all to hell, that is their thinking. holding the earth to hostage. all the rest na show.
