“The launch was made from a submerged position within the program of state tests of weapons and life support systems of the atomic underwater carrier submarine“ Vladimir Monomakh ”. The flight path parameters of the rocket were worked out in the normal mode, the warheads successfully arrived at the Kura test site in Kamchatka. ”- said Konashenkov.
"On board the submarine during the shooting were members of the commission on state testing of the submarine"- added the representative of the military. According to him, "the actions of the commander and crew are rated as professional and competent."
