The Russian Navy has test-fired two RSM-50 submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM) from the northern Pacific Ocean to the Kanin peninsula in north-west Russia.

The RSM-50 is a two-stage, liquid propellant SLBM developed by the Soviet Union to equip the navy’s Delta III-class strategic submarines.

The missiles were test-fired from the Russian Navy’s pacific fleet nuclear submarines and successfully hit their designated targets in the uninhabited peninsula of Kanin.

The RSM-50 has the capacity to carry from one to seven nuclear warheads and can hit strategic targets at an intercontinental range of 6,500km to 8,000km.
