Russia tests Bulava ICBM from Generalissimus Suvorov submarine
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the Pacific Fleet’s Project 955A Borei-A nuclear-powered submarine, Generalissimus Suvorov, successfully test-fired a Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on October 28, 2026.
The launch was conducted from a submerged position in the Sea of Okhotsk, located in the Russian Far East. The missile traveled across the country to strike the Chizha test range in the Arkhangelsk region, situated in the Russian north. Monitoring data confirmed that the missile’s warheads reached the designated target area at the scheduled time.
The Generalissimus Suvorov is a fourth-generation strategic submarine that was commissioned into the Russian Navy in December 2022. It is capable of carrying up to 16 Bulava missiles, which serve as a key component of Russia’s sea-based nuclear deterrent. This exercise was carried out as part of the crew’s scheduled combat training plan.
