The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation posted on social networks a video taken at the time of the launch of the Bulava ballistic missile from the strategic submarine Prince Oleg. Earlier on Thursday, the agency reported that the launch was carried out as part of state tests of the carrier of the latest naval ammunition.



The footage clearly shows how the rocket rises from the sea into the gloomy sky and gradually decreases in size. Cloud cover does not hide it, so you can follow the flight for a long time. In fact, until the moment when the "Mace" first turns into a barely noticeable bright point, and then completely disappears in the sky.

It is known from the message of the Ministry of Defense that the submarine "Prince Oleg" was in the waters of the White Sea at the time of the missile launch. The crew of the nuclear-powered vessel fired a "Mace" from an underwater position. The target that the sailors were hitting was located at the Kamchatka Kura training ground. "According to objective control data, the missile's combat units arrived in the specified area at the estimated time," the military department noted.

The Prince Oleg submarine belongs to the 4th generation nuclear submarines and was built according to the Borey-A project. He is the fifth in the series of 955 "Boreas" and the second, released in an upgraded version with the letter "A". The first was "Prince Vladimir". According to information from open sources, unlike the previous boats of the same project - "Yuri Dolgoruky", "Alexander Nevsky" and "Vladimir Monomakh" - these submarines have less noise, better maneuverability, increased ability to hold at depth and a more modern onboard weapons control system.

Boreas have a very impressive arsenal. In addition to 6 torpedo tubes of 533 mm caliber, they are also equipped with torpedo missiles and an anti-aircraft missile system. But the main striking means of submarines, of course, is the sea "Mace" - there are 16 of them on the boat. There were reports in the media that each three-stage solid-fuel rocket carries several individual guidance combat units. At a range of more than 8 thousand km. "Mace" can hit a target with a probable deviation from it of only 120-350 meters. Considering that a naval missile is a carrier of a nuclear charge, this is quite a bit.
