Russian defense ministry may broadcast live Bulava missile launches

The Russian Defense Ministry plans to broadcast live test launches of the Bulava submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) on its new website, spokesman Igor Konashenkov said.
Russia plans to resume test launches of Bulava SLBM in June and to conduct at least four test launches this year. If they are successful, the missile will be put in service by yearend.
"We will seek to provide visitors of our website with live broadcast of Bulava missile test launches," Konashenkov said.
The Bulava (SS-NX-30) SLBM carries up to 10 MIRV warheads and has a range of over 8,000 kilometers (5,000 miles). The Russian military expects the Bulava, along with Topol-M land-based ballistic missiles, to become the core of Russia's nuclear triad.
