īorei-class submarines carrying Bulava missiles are expected to be an integral part of the Russian nuclear triad until 2040. It is rumored to possess advanced missile defense evasion capabilities. It has a low flight trajectory, and due to this could be classified as a quasi-ballistic missile. The missile can be launched from an inclined position, allowing a submarine to fire them while moving. The missile has three stages the first and second stages use solid fuel propellant, while the third stage uses a liquid fuel to allow high maneuverability during warhead separation. Bulava has a declared START throw weight of 1150 kg to 9,500 kilometers. The two missiles are expected to have comparable ranges, and similar CEP and warhead configurations. Bulava is both lighter and more sophisticated than the Topol-M. Although it utilizes some engineering solutions used for the recent RT-2PM2 Topol-M ICBM, the new missile has been developed virtually from scratch. The Bulava missile was developed by Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology under the leadership of chief designer Yury Solomonov. Ī source in the Russian defense industry told TASS on Jthat the D-30 missile system with the R-30 Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile had been accepted for service in the Russian Navy after its successful four-missile salvo launch tests in 2018. Development and deployment of the Bulava missile within the Russian Navy is not affected by the enforcement of the new START treaty. The Project 955/955A Borei-class submarines carry 16 missiles per vessel.

ĭesigned by Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology, development of the missile was launched in the late 1990s as a replacement for the R-39 Rif solid-fuel SLBM. The weapon takes its name from bulava, a Russian word for mace. It is intended as the future cornerstone of Russia's nuclear triad, and is the most expensive weapons project in the country. ' mace', NATO reporting name SS-NX-30 or SS-N-32, GRAU index 3M30, 3K30) is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) developed for the Russian Navy and deployed in 2013 on the new Borei class of ballistic missile nuclear submarines. The RSM-56 Bulava ( Russian: Булава, lit. Typhoon-class submarine Dmitri Donskoi (as a testbed)
