Russia to develop new ballistic missiles

Xinhua, July 14, 2016 Adjust font size:

Russia's Makeev Rocket Design Bureau is planning to develop new ballistic missiles, the country's Izvestia daily reported Thursday.

The ballistic missiles could be sea-based and replace Bulava, the submarine-launched ballistic missiles, first deployed in 2013 on the fourth-generation Borei-class submarines, it said.

The new ballistic missiles currently under development could be used on the fifth-generation nuclear submarines of the Husky-class, Izvestia said.

The Husky-class submarines are being developed as a successor to Russia's Yasen-class submarines. Enditem
