Russian strategic missile test fails: officials The Russian defence ministry said
that a test firing Wednesday of a Bulava strategic missile from a nuclear
submarine had failed, Interfax reported. "Several minutes after the launch the missile strayed from its planned course. After this it seems the Bulava's self-destruction system went off and the missile fell into the sea," a navy representative was quoted as saying. Another Bulava, which is planned as one of the lynchpins of Russia's nuclear arsenal, also malfunctioned during a similar test in September. Four other tests have been successful, ITAR-TASS news agency reported. The first test firing of a Bulava took place in September 2005, RIA-Novosti said. --------------------------------------------------- Prison Planet.tv: The Premier Multimedia Subscription Package: Download and Share the Truth!
