MOSCOW” Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces have tested a perspective armament for the RS-12M Topol intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), the Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.

A combat team test-fired an RS-12M Topol intercontinental ballistic missile from the Kapustin Yar state central combined arms training ran-ge in the Astrakhan Region, TASS reported, citing the statement.

The tests made it possible to obtain experimental data that will be used in developing “effective means of overcoming anti-ballistic missile defense and equipping the perspective grouping of Russian ballistic missiles with them,” according to the military.
