Bulava: Powerful Russian missile that can turn the tide of war
After successful tests, Russian President, Vladimir Putin, signed a decree for the commissioning of the missile a few months ago.
The Bulava missile (mass in Russian) is capable of carrying six to ten nuclear warheads and has a range of 9,000 kilometers. It has just joined the arsenal of new weapons of the Russian army.
This is a 12-meter long acquisition that represents a real threat that Moscow has been brandishing for some time.
With a range of 9,000 kilometers, it's able to overcome the American anti-missile shield. It's therefore capable of reaching the United States and any European country.
This type of missile is launched from the sea, and more precisely from the latest generation of nuclear submarines. In total, according to Meduza, 40 test launches were carried out, seven of which were declared failures.
