“Today, the lead ship of the Yasen-M project, the nuclear-powered missile cruiser Kazan, has successfully fired the main missile system at a coastal target,” TASS quoted the press service of the Northern Fleet as saying.

It is noted that rocket firing was carried out as part of the final stage of state tests in the morning from the White Sea.

The target, located at the Chizha training ground in the Arkhangelsk region at a distance of over 1000 kilometers from the launch point, was successfully hit by the head part of the Kalibr cruise missile.
