Moscow Tests Mobile Topol-M Ballistic Missile
From Times Wire Reports
The Russian military successfully test-fired a mobile version of its top-of-the line Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missile.
The missile was fired from a mobile launcher at the Plesetsk launch pad in the northern region of Arkhangelsk and hit a designated target on a testing range on the far eastern Kamchatka peninsula, military officials said.
The launch is expected to be the last of four test-firings of the Topol-M’s mobile version before its deployment, which is expected next year.
