Russia's military has successfully launched a short-range interceptor missile, capable of delivering a nuclear warhead in a ballistic flight trajectory, to boost the country's defensive network, the Defense Ministry says.
The Russian Strategic Missile Troops and Aerospace Forces (VKS) jointly carried out the launch of a 53T6 (SH-08 Gazelle) endoatmospheric interceptor missile at the Sary Shagan test range in Kazakhstan on Friday, said Col. Andrey Prikhodko, a VKS deputy commander.
The 10-meter-long 53T6 missile is reportedly capable of carrying a 10-kiloton nuclear warhead to as far as 80 kilometers at a speed of three kilometers per second.
The defensive system, operational since 1995.
