nternational Desk News :: On Sunday (5 November), Russia stated that it had successfully test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile which is capable of carrying nuclear warheads from one of its submarines.<\/p>\n
The missile named \u2018Bulava\u2019 is a 12-meter-long missile designed to be the backbone of Moscow’s nuclear triad and has a range of over 8,000 kilometres (close to 5,000 miles).

The launch of the “Bulava” missile marks the first launch in just over a year. This came as Russia ramped up nuclear rhetoric since revoking its ratification of a key nuclear test ban treaty.<\/p>\n
“The new nuclear-powered strategic missile submarine cruiser Emperor Alexander the Third has successfully launched the Bulava sea-based intercontinental ballistic missile,” the defence ministry said.<\/p>\n
It said it fired the under-sea missile from an undisclosed location in the White Sea on its northwest coast, to a target thousands of kilometres away on the far eastern Kamchatka peninsula.<\/p>\n
“The missile firing took place in the normal mode from an underwater position,” it said, adding: “The missile heads arrived at the designated area at the appointed time.”<\/p>\n
The West has accused Moscow of using reckless nuclear rhetoric since it launched its offensive against Ukraine last February.<\/p>\n
President Vladimir Putin earlier this week signed a law revoking Russia’s ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, a move strongly criticised by the United States.<\/p>\n
The 1996 treaty outlaws all nuclear explosions, including live tests of nuclear weapons, though it never came into force because some key countries — including the United States and China — never ratified it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
