Russia’s new nuclear-powered submarine “Emperor Alexander III” test-fired a Bulava ballistic missile from the White Sea. This was the last test for Emperor Alexander III and a decision will now be made on whether to accept the ship into the Navy, the Russian MoD said.
The “Emperor Alexander III” is a Russian Borei-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine and was launched on 29 December 2022. This submarine is equipped with sixteen (16) Bulava missile launchers.
