Russia Deploys Submarine-Launched Bulava ICBMs

The integration of Bulava missiles into Borei-class submarines marks a significant upgrade to Russia's strategic nuclear arsenal.

The Bulava missile can carry up to 10 independently targetable nuclear warheads.
Successful tests include a 3,500-mile launch from the White Sea to the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Seven Borei-class submarines, each armed with 16 Bulavas, are now operational in Russia's Northern and Pacific fleets.
The Bulava's advanced capabilities challenge existing missile defense systems with high maneuverability and decoy features.
This development comes amid heightened tensions between Russia and Western nations.
