Test of the Bulava sea-launched ballistic missile-Archive-News-Russian Strategic Nuclear Forces Ivan Safronov of Kommersant reports (Kommersant-Daily, 25 Sep 2004) that the test involved ejection of a full mockup of the "Bulava" missile from a submerged submarine "to a hight of several tens of meters, where the sustainer engine is supposed to start". “Bulava” is a solid-propellant missile being developed for strategic submarines of the Project 955 class. The “Dmitry Donskoy” submarine, which initially was equipped with a D-39 missile complex with R-39 missiles, was converted into a test bed for the “Bulava” missile during the overhaul that was completed in 2002. www.russianforces.org /eng/news/archive/000091.shtml

MIRVed Topol-M or Bulava?-Archive-Blog-Russian Strategic Nuclear Forces Bulava from the very beginning was marketed by its developer, MITT, as a universal missile, which can be deployed on land as well as at sea. According to Russian defense minister, plans for the Bulava missile, which is developed as a sea-launch missile, include an option of deploying a land-based MIRVed version of the missile. No details about Bulava have been released so far, but it seems extremely unlikely that a missile deployed on submarines will carry one warhead. www.russianforces.org /eng/blog/archive/000192.shtml

Russia The new variant carries 10 warheads and is being developed at the Makeyev State Missile Center in Miass, which proposed this missile as an alternative to the Bulava and the failed Bark. The Borey-class submarines, for example, will carry 12 Bulava SLBMs.[1,2] The Bulava, which is a naval version of the Topol-M [NATO designation SS-27 'Sickle'] missile, remains under development at the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology. The Izvestiya article also stated that while the Bulava's characteristics are still unknown, it is to be a single-warhead missile, despite the fact that MIRVed SLBMs are not prohibited by any existing arms control treaty. www.nti.org /db/nisprofs/russia/weapons/ssbns/ssbndevs.htm

RIA Novosti - Opinion & analysis - Bulava-M: still far from flying The M in the missile index stands for "morskoy," or "naval," because the Bulava is, in effect, a derivative of the land-based missile Topol (SS-27). "In 2005, we are going to begin flight tests of the Bulava, a new solid fuel-propelled sea-launched missile," he said recently at the Plesetsk Space Center. So far, human resources have made up for scarce financing: people who can design, test, and deploy state-of-the-art missiles appropriately for the little money they receive are certainly worth their weight in gold. en.rian.ru /analysis/20050908/41341829.html

Russia Tests Bulava (SS-N-30) Sea-Launch... A Russian nuclear submarine, the Dmitry Donskoy, fired the Bulava missile from the White Sea. As expected, Russia today test launched its new Bulava submarine launched intercontinental ballistic missile, according to the Interfax news agency. The Bulava system was tested under water last week, Ivanov said. www.flymig.com /forum/posts/1098021692.htm

The Hindu : International : Russia developing secret weapons The Bulava and the Topol-M missiles are expected to be equipped with new nuclear warheads. Last month, the Russian Navy Commander, Admiral Vladimir Kuroyedov, announced that two new strategic missile submarines, Dmitriy Donskoy and Yuriy Dolgorukiy, armed with 12 Bulava missiles each, will enter service in 2006. The missile will carry up to 10 nuclear warheads and will be deployed on nuclear submarines. www.hindu.com /2005/05/10/stories/2005051000441500.htm

NTI: Global Security Newswire The Bulava is also believed to be able to carry as many as 10 warheads, capable of hitting different targets, though with a reduced ability to counter missile defense systems, according to experts. WASHINGTON — Russian President Vladimir Putin was probably referring to the Bulava submarine-launched ballistic missile when he commented yesterday on his country’s development of new and unique nuclear weapons systems, according to U.S. and Russian experts (see The Bulava could also be deployed on land, though it is not yet clear if Russia plans to do so, said Alexander Pikayev of the Carnegie Moscow Center. www.nti.org /d_newswire/issues/2004/11/18/5c2cbad9-56de-4ee1-9a8f-4c515333d02c.html

Russian Will Sustain Nuclear Parity With US Bulava is one of the most advanced missiles today, and is compatible in many respects with the Topol M intercontinental ballistic missile, said Mr. Next year, Russia is also planning test launches of its sea ballistic missile Bulava. The Russian government's armaments program through the year 2010 is likely to be adopted sometime next week, most probably on December 30, the Defense Minister announced. www.rense.com /general61/cuvle.htm

[No title] In addition to the Bulava and the Topol-M silo-launched modification, it is working on a Topol mobile ballistic missile system: So far three successful test launches have been conducted. Development of another solid-propellant missile, called Bulava, was assigned to a Miass competitor, the Moscow Institute of Heat Technology (MIHT), renowned for its RT-2PM Topol (SS-25 Sickle in NATO classification) and RP-2PMU Topol-M (SS-27) ICBMs. September tests of the Bulava dummy showed that the MIHT had handled the challenge, thus, the Yury Dolgoruky will, after all, go into service within the next few years, armed with 12 new missiles. english.mn.ru /english/printver.php?2004-40-2

UPI Intelligence Watch - (United Press International) Naval analysts are nervously awaiting a test launch of the new Bulava solid fuel SLBM missile in the White Sea next week from the Dmitri Donskoi. The reason for the anxiety is that the SS-NX-30 Bulava is the maritime variant of the SS-27, which was specifically designed to evade any "Star Wars" ABM defense the United States develops and as such represents a quantum leap in Russian nuclear capabilities. The SS-27 and the Bulava are designed to withstand nuclear blasts as close as 1,600 feet, which is better than current U.S. technology can achieve. washingtontimes.com /upi-breaking/20040921-115541-1441r.htm

NTI: Global Security Newswire Alexei Moskovsky has said Russia plans to begin testing the new Bulava sea-launched ballistic missile next year, Jane’s Defense Weekly reported today (see GSN, Aug. 7). Russia is set to begin testing the Bulava SLBM in 2004 on a Typhoon-class submarine, Moskovsky said. Each Bulava, designed to have a range of more than 8,300 kilometers, is expected to be equipped with multiple warheads, according to Jane’s. www.nti.org /d_newswire/issues/2003/8/11/6s.html

Russias New SLBM The 45 ton Bulava ICBM is slightly a slightly modified version of  the Topol-M. The Bulava is a little shorter, to fit into the missile tube, and thus has a shorter range of some 10,000 kilometers. The new missile, the Bulava, has been tested in a Typhoon class SSBNs (the last of the six to remain in service). The second SSBN to carry the Bulava is the first of a new class of ships, the Yuri Dolgoruky, which has been under construction since 1996, and was, until recently, not expected to enter service until 2008. www.strategypage.com /dls/articles/2005523232351.asp

People's Daily Online -- Russian navy to get two new nuclear submarines next year The solid-fuel "Bulava" missile, which is still under a three-year testing program, is capable of carrying up to ten individually guided nuclear warheads, with a range of up to 8,000 km. The Russian navy will get two newly-equipped strategic nuclear submarines armed with "Bulava" intercontinental ballistic missiles, the Russian navy's Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Vladimir Kuroyedov, said Wednesday. "In accordance with the current program, we expect to get these nuclear submarines, armed with 'Bulava' new missile complexes, at the end of 2006 if everything runs smoothly," Kuroyedov was quoted by the Itar-Tass news agency as saying. english.peopledaily.com.cn /200504/28/eng20050428_183049.html

Russia test-launches simulated missile Bulava from Typhoon submarine The test involved ejection of a full mockup of the "Bulava" missile from a submerged submarine "to a height of several tens of meters, where the sustainer engine is supposed to start", Kommersant reported. The Bulava, a solid fuel missile, was blasted off from the nuclear submarine Dmitry Donskoy in the White Sea, Interfax reported. The Bulava (SS-NX-30) is the submarine-launched version of Russia’s most advanced missile, the Topol-M (SS-27) solid fuel ICBM. www.bellona.no /en/international/russia/navy/northern_fleet/general/35517.html

RIA Novosti - Russia - Bulava missile flight tests to be over in 2006 - Navy commander The Bulava can be used both in the Navy and the Strategic Missile Force. The Bulava sea-launched strategic missile system may carry 10 or more separately targeting nuclear warheads. Bulava missile flight tests to be over in 2006 - Navy commander en.rian.ru /russia/20050706/40856300.html

The Statesman The successful launch of the submerged Bulava dummy missile shows that the Russian political and military leadership’s plans in this field will be successfully implemented. Bulava missiles will be installed on Mk 955 Borei-class SSBNs. Although a great deal of time and work is still needed to create the Bulava complex and place it on combat duty, one can confidently say that Russia and its strategic nuclear forces already have a new inter-continental SLBM. www.thestatesman.net /page.arcview.php?clid=3&id=84865&usrsess=1

MissileThreat :: Analysis: History of Bulava SS-N-30 Some 10 to 12 strategic nuclear submarines may carry the Bulava by 2012, with possibly 12 missiles per vessel. While the details of the Bulava are secret, it is known to be a solid fuel propellant and contain several multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles for nucelar weapons. Litovkin notes the genesis of the Bulava in the 1990s, and the building of a new type of nuclear submarine to accommodate it. www.missilethreat.com /news/200410111007.html

Russia Developing New Nuclear Missile Russian officials had stated earlier that the Bulava could be developed in both sea- and land-based versions and equipped with warheads capable of penetrating missile defense, Pikayev said. He said if the Bulava proves capable, it would represent a major success because it would show that Russia has succeeded in modernizing its missile forces despite the shortage of funds. But Alexander Pikayev, a senior military analyst with Moscow's Institute for Global Economy and International Relations, said Putin seemed to be referring to the Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile, a solid fuel missile that had its first test in September. www.bcc.ctc.edu /artshum/materials/engl/Bessho/Fall04/101/RussiaNewWeapon.htm

MissileThreat :: Bulava Testing Again Delayed until 2006 Russia now plans to complete flight testing of the new Bulava (SS-NX-30) missile system in 2006, reports RIA-Novosti. The Bulava will have a range of up to 8,000 km, and is capable of carrying up to 10 independently targetable nuclear warheads. The Bulava is the submarine-launched version of the Topol-M (SS-27), Russia’s most advanced ICBM. www.missilethreat.com /news/20050709071600.html

Yorkshire CND - Missile Defence Briefing Report No 156 - 5/10/04 In late September, as part of maneuvers in the White Sea, the Russian Navy successfully launched a replica of the “Bulava,” or Mace, from the country’s largest ballistic missile sub, the Dmitry Donskoi. Under the Kremlin’s current military plans, ten to twelve nuclear ballistic missile submarines are expected to be put into active service in the Russian Navy by 2012, and the “Bulava” likely will be a fixture on those vessels. The “Bulava,” in development since the late 1990s, is a solid fuel nuclear-capable ICBM with a range of 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers and MIRV (multiple independently targeted reentry vehicle) warhead capabilities. cndyorks.gn.apc.org /yspace/articles/bmd/mdbriefing156.htm

BarentsObserver : New Russian missile ready for testing in White Sea The missile will be placed on the "Akula" submarines, as well as the new "Borey"-type submarine, presently under construction at the Sevmash construction plant in Severodvinsk. The "Dmitry Donskoy" nuclear sub, which is now undergoing repair and upgrade at Sevmash, will be one of the vessels carrying the "Bulava" weapon. www.barentsobserver.com /index.php?id=234353&showtipform=1&noredir=1

Russian Stock Market Blog: New intercontinental rocket Bulava to be tested before year's end Flight tests of the new intercontinental missile "Bulava" will take place before the end of 2005, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov told journalists upon arriving in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Thursday. New intercontinental rocket Bulava to be tested before year's end GAZ is to hold EGM on September 24. finam.blogspot.com /2005/07/new-intercontinental-rocket-bulava-to.html

Launch of two Strela-3 communication satellites - Cosmos-2408 and Cosmos-2409-Archive-News-Russian Strategic Nuclear Forces As for the reports about Bulava's hitting its target, they must have been a result of some misunderstanding. So, this launch is not related to the Bulava test. While I notice that there did not seem to have been an actual firing of the Bulava engine, an apparent report by Interfax says that the warhead hit its target: http://www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,10863808%255E1702,00.html www.russianforces.org /eng/news/archive/000093.shtml

935 Borei He said this would include three Yuri Dolgoruky type (project 955), armed with the the new Bulava missiles, as well as the project 941 Akula sub returned from the overhaul in 2002, also equipped with the new Bulava missiles. The Aleksandr Nevskiy was designed from the outset to carry a new solid-propellant Bulava missiles. On 19 March 2004 Sevmash laid down a second strategic missile submarine of the Project 955 Borey class. www.globalsecurity.org /wmd/world/russia/935.htm
