It is planned to perform up to 5 test launches of submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) Bulava in 2011, reports Interfax citing Anatoly Perminov, the head of Roskosmos.

According to RIA Novosti, Russian vice premier Sergei Ivanov said Votkinsky Zavod had produced sufficient number of Bulava missiles to conduct trials and arm the first Borei class SSBN Yury Dolgoruky.

Reportedly, Russian defense ministry is about to commission newest SLBM Bulava till the end of 2011, although everything depends on trials effectiveness.

The latest Bulava test launch was carried out by SSBN Dmitry Donskoy on Oct 29, 2010 in the White Sea and was found successful. Thus, numbers of effective and failed launches are equal (7:7).

The next Bulava's test launch will be held in June by SSBN Yury Dolgoruky.
