Russia tests ballistic missiles


Russia on Saturday said it was flexing its military muscles and testing four intercontinental ballistic missiles underwater in the Okhotsk Sea. Pulawa missiles equipped with fake warships fired from the Vladimir Monomak submarine and hit their targets in the Arkhangelsk region of northwestern Russia more than 3,400 miles away. Saturday’s launch is a four – day exercise involving the country’s strategic nuclear forces, another missile training missile – this time in the Barents Sea – and a ground – based intercontinental ballistic missile Russia from the Plesetsk facility in the northwest. Extended exercises have come amid mounting tensions with the West, two months before the expiration of the nuclear deal with the United States. The two countries have tentatively agreed to a new strategic arms reduction or an extension of the new START agreement. .
