According to Yuri Solomonov, Chief Designer at the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology, the launch of Bulava missiles in 2020 left Russia’s potential adversaries in a state of shock. He described the event as a serious and unexpected demonstration of capability.
The first salvo launch of Bulava missiles took place in December 2020. The nuclear submarine Vladimir Monomakh, a Project 955 «Borey»-class vessel, fired four missiles from a submerged position in the Sea of Okhotsk toward the Chizha test range in the Arkhangelsk region. All warheads successfully reached their designated targets.
By the end of 2022, a total of 40 test launches had been conducted. On May 7, 2024, a presidential decree officially confirmed the Bulava submarine-based missile system’s adoption into service.
