Russia has officially deployed its submarine-launched Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile, marking a significant step in the modernization of its nuclear arsenal.
The adoption of the Bulava was formalized in a decree dated May 7, coinciding with President Vladimir Putin's commencement of a new six-year term.
Amidst ongoing tensions with the West, particularly regarding the war in Ukraine, President Putin has reiterated that Russia's nuclear forces are technically prepared.
He has cautioned that direct NATO intervention could lead to nuclear conflict, underscoring the strategic importance of the Bulava missile in maintaining Russia's deterrence capabilities.
The Bulava missile, developed since the 1990s, is designed for deployment on Borei-class submarines.
The missile demonstrated its capabilities in a successful test-launch in November, where it was fired from an underwater position in the White Sea and accurately struck a target thousands of kilometers away on the Kamchatka peninsula.
