Russia Conducts Successful Ballistic Missile Test From Nuclear Submarine
http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBQCYAPJEE.html

MOSCOW (AP) - Russia's military conducted a successful ballistic missile test Saturday from a nuclear submarine in the Barents Sea, hitting a target on the eastern peninsula of Kamchatka, officials said.

The two-stage Volna missile was launched from submarine Borisoglebsk around 5:30 p.m. EDT and it hit the Kura training area on Kamchatka an undetermined time later, Defense Ministry spokesman Capt. Ivan Dyagalo said.

The launch was at least the fifth test of a missile from a sea-based vessel this year. Russian forces have conducted regular test launches of Soviet-built ballistic missiles to check their readiness.

1. Pray tell me..... can they hit a "terrahist" between the eyes with
one of these, or are they intended for more "imperial powers"?

2. I thought Ronnie Ray-Guns bankrupted them into impotency?
Have they made enough Kopecs from selling submarine and MIG parts on Ebay to finance these launches?

Who are they preparing for? Us, Ariel, Pervertz, or "Mr. Hair"?

Just 20 to 30 years early.
