Missiles fail tests
A test launch of Russia's new submarine-based missile Bulava has failed, Interfax news agency said yesterday, quoting a source in the military-industrial complex.
Russia plans next year to equip some of its nuclear-powered submarines with Bulava, capable of carrying up to 10 warheads to the distances of up to 8,000 km. However, about half of the test launches have failed.
