Russia has successfully
test-fired a Sineva
submarine-launched
ballistic missile in the
Barents Sea, a Defense
Ministry spokesman said
on Friday.
The missile hit the
designated target at the
Kura test range in the Far
East in time, Col. Igor
Konashenkov said.
The RSM-54 Sineva
(NATO codename SS-
N-23 Skiff) is a third-
generation liquid-
propellant
intercontinental ballistic
missile that entered
service with the Russian
Navy in July 2007. It has a
maximum range of over
10,000 km (6,214 miles)
and can carry four to 10
nuclear warheads,
depending on the
modification.
The previous Sineva test
launch was held in April.
