Russia’s Defense Ministry has signed a contract for the manufacture of Bulava submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missiles through 2020, First Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Sukhorukov said on Tuesday.
“The tests of the Bulava missile system were successfully completed in December 2011 and a draft [presidential] decree is pending on its adoption for service with the Navy,” he said.
He did not say exactly when the Bulava will enter service or whether Russia’s newest nuclear-powered submarine, the Yury Dolgoruky, will enter service at the same time.
