September 3, 2003 :: The Moscow Times :: News

The Moscow Times reports that the Russian nuclear submarine Podolsk yesterday test launched one of its submarine launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) off Russia’s Pacific Coast, which then successfully hit its target in the Chizha firing range some 6,000km away.
        Russia has several operational SLBMs aboard its submarines, all of which have intercontinental range. The Podolsk’s Delta III class of submarines typically carries 16 R-29R missiles, the Russian designation for a version of the SS-N-18, with a range which varies between 6,500 and 8,000km.
