Russia Successfully Test-Fires Intercontinental Ballistic Missile from New Nuclear Submarine
TL;DR
Russia successfully test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile from a new nuclear submarine, the Imperator Alexander III, in the White Sea. The submarine is part of the Borei-class and carries 16 Bulava missiles. Tensions between Russia and the West are high, with President Putin recently revoking Russia's ratification of a global nuclear test ban. The test launch is the final test for the submarine, after which a decision will be made on its induction into the fleet.
