The Russian military has performed the successful launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile, part of the RS-12M Topol family, from the Kapustin Yar testing range in the southern Astrakhan region, TASS reported. The missile’s warhead hit the designated hypothetical target at the Sary-Shagan range in Kazakhstan “with the desired precision,” Russia’s Defense Ministry said in a statement. The launch was aimed at testing “promising combat equipment for intercontinental missiles,” the ministry added.
