Russia successfully test fires Bulava ballistic missile

Russia on Friday successfully test fired its nuclear-capable Bulava ballistic missile. The defence ministry said the 37 tonne inter-continental missile was fired from the Yury Dolgoruky submarine in the White Sea.

Latest Russian missile can travel at least 8,000 kilometres and is equipped to carry multiple warheads that can each manoeuvre to hit separate targets.

The Bulava is meant to replace Soviet-era missiles that Russia is decommissioning with age and under agreements with the United States.
