Training missile warheads with predetermined accuracy hit conventional targets at the testing ground of the Kamchatka Peninsula. The lifespan of Voivode is expected to extend to 23 years.
By the way, the US missile shield failed the tests. A test of the US missile defense system failed. The interceptor missile could not hit the target over the Pacific Ocean. According to the US Missile Defense Agency, 8 from 15 attempted such tests ended in failure.
