The Russian Navy plans to commission a new intercontinental ballistic missile next year after completing its tests, AP quoted its chief as saying today. Adm. Vladimir Masorin said that the Navy was to conduct another two test launches of the Bulava-M missile this year and fully complete its testing program next year, Russian news wires reported. «We have no doubt that the testing of the Bulava-M missile system will be completed successfully,» Masorin said, according to the Interfax news agency. «We have no other alternatives. We hope that the missile will be adopted by the Navy in 2008.»
