MOSCOW - Russia successfully test fired a heavy missile capable of carrying 10 warheads Thursday morning, a defence ministry spokesman said.
The Strategic Missile Forces launched an intercontinental ballistic missile RS-20V (Voyevoda) from a site in the Orenburg region (southern Urals), Col. Vadim Koval said.
Koval said the missile hit the targets on Kamchatka, Far East.
He said the launch was designed to test the missiles performance with the aim of
extending its service life to 25 years.
Introduced almost 21 years ago, the missile will remain in service until 2019, the Strategic Missile Forces (SMF) commander said earlier this year.
