MOSCOW, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Russia will hold another test for its Bulava next-generation, submarine-launched, intercontinental ballistic missile, sources say.
The latest test is to happen this week, in which a Bulava will be fired from a Typhoon-class Russian submarine, a military source told RIA Novosti Monday.
"The test launch of the latest intercontinental ballistic missile Bulava, which is due to be held in the next two days from the Dmitry Donskoi strategic nuclear-powered submarine, will not be the final test for the commissioning of the missile," the source said, adding, "Next year we plan three or four more launches, including from (Russia's first Borey-class) strategic nuclear submarine the Yury Dolgoruky."
The last Bulava test took place Nov. 28, when one was fired from the Dmitry Donskoi in the White Sea and reportedly hit its Kamchatka Peninsula target in Russia's Far East, more than 4,200 miles away, the Russian news service said.
