An intercontinental ballistic missile launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome and delivered dummy warheads to the designated area of the Kura test site in Kamchatka. The Ministry of Defense announced the successful completion of the launch, but did not specify the type of missile in the published report.
According to the department, the launch was conducted to test the tactical, technical, and flight characteristics of the missile system. The dummy warheads arrived at the designated area at the Kura test site.
The launch proceeded according to the planned program. The military confirmed the completion of all assigned tasks.
However, the Ministry of Defense did not disclose which intercontinental missile was used for the launch. Therefore, based on the published footage and the brief message from the department, its model cannot be definitively determined.
The distance between Plesetsk and the Kura test site is over 6,500 km. This is the distance the missile covers when flying along this trajectory. The route is considered one of the main ones for testing intercontinental ballistic missiles in the long-range flight segment.
