Another Test Set For Troubled Bulava Missile

October 06 2010

Russia

The Russian navy says it will test-fire the Bulava missile as early as Thursday in the White Sea, RIA Novosti reports.

Trials of the missile were put on hold in December after a launch failed due to a defective engine nozzle.

The missile will be launched by the end of the week from the Dmitry Donskoy nuclear submarine, said a local official.

The Bulava has officially failed seven of 12 tests.
