As part of the state tests, a successful launch of the Bulava ballistic missile from the Knyaz Oleg nuclear submarine from the White Sea was carried out. This was announced on October 21 by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

"The launch of the ballistic missile was carried out from an underwater position at the Kura test site in Kamchatka," the military department clarified.

According to objective control data, the missile's warheads hit the targets at the estimated time. The Defense Ministry added that during the preparation and conduct of missile firing, the crew of the APC showed high professionalism and naval training.

In May, the Prince Oleg of Project 955A (code "Borey-A") began the first test run into the White Sea.

In December 2020, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the launch of Bulava missiles from the Vladimir Monomakh submarine. Then the cruiser conducted a salvo launch of four missiles at a range of more than 5.5 thousand km from the Sea of Okhotsk.

All missile warheads have successfully arrived in the specified area of the Chizh battlefield.

The Russian solid-fuel ballistic missile "Bulava", placed on submarines of Project 955 "Borey", has been developed since 1998 by the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering, the author of the land-based rocket "Topol-M".

In June 2018, the Bulava was adopted by the Russian Navy based on the results of successful tests. The maximum range of its flight is 9300 km .
