The Russian Defense Ministry plans to conduct a flight test of a missile interceptor this month, ITAR-Tass reported Monday (see GSN, April 16).  Ministry officials have said they hope the test will help extend the service life of the interceptor, which has been in use for more than 12 years.  If the test is successful, the interceptor’s service life could be extended by an additional three years, according to ITAR-Tass (ITAR-Tass, Sept. 30 in FBIS-SOV, Sept. 30).
