Russia successfully test-launched an SS-27 Topol-M ICBM last week (see GSN, June 7).  The ICBM traveled about 4,200 miles to hit a target at the Kura test range on the Kamchatka Peninsula after being launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome.  Russia’s Strategic Rocket Force and Spaces Forces conducted the test in accordance with a military training schedule, Russian officials said (Space & Missile, Oct. 17).
