M-51 test launch in preparation
According to corroborating sources, a strategic missile M-51 from a submerged submarine should take place very soon. From the latest SSBN Le Terrible. These tests are never advertised and are usually subject to a minimalistic report from MoD when they occurr.
The shooting area is usually located in the south of Finistere. The missiles go west to fall back into a square located off Canada or Brazil, about 4000 kilometers away.
The test firing of an M-51 would be the first made from a submarine submerged. This is an extremely complex technology that only the United States and France fully mastered. Uh I personnaly don't think so but whatever...
The M-51, which has already been launched successfully from the test center of the Landes, is far superior to the M-45 to replace it, with range more than 8000 kilometers.
