It's been a month since Rossiiskaya gazeta reported that Dmitry Donskoy submarine was preparing to go to sea to conduct tests of the Bulava missile. No news about the test yet. This, of course, could mean many different things. It's possible that a flight test was canceled. If it was planned, that is --it's also possible that the tests that Dmitry Donskoy was to conduct did not include a missile launch. I think we would have heard something if there was a launch failure.

In August, successfully completed an important phase of testing nuclear submarine "Dmitry Donskoi".
Gradient: Thank you. It looks like no flight test was planned - they report about testing the submarine. I'm wondering if they had to do something to the launch tube.
Pavel, what about today's Topol test? Media have reported that it has tested a new warhead!
