Yesterday RIA Novosti’s source in the state testing commission said Borey-class SSBN Yuriy Dolgorukiy will test fire a Bulava on August 27. The launch was originally scheduled for last Saturday when a malfunction occurred on the submarine. The news agency’s Defense Ministry source stressed that, although not impossible, conducting the test on August 20 was deemed “inexpedient.” The defect in the power supply to one of Dolgorukiy’s systems has been fully corrected, and the submarine is ready for sea. The state commission source said this launch — the 16th overall, and the second in 2011 — will be a maximum range test.
