In a statement in the early hours of Sunday, the ministry said that the submarine ‘Emperor Alexander III’ had “successfully launched the Bulava sea-based intercontinental ballistic missile from the White Sea to the Kura test range on the Kamchatka Peninsula.” It added that the missile was fired underwater and that its warheads reached the target on time.

I am going to assume this missile test went splendidly unless I know otherwise.
However, there was useful telemetry collected. Note how the passive aggressive WNU publicized this missile launch but ignored the one a few days ago. With this telemetry we can plot the mind of WNU.
'Sirena reported that its source said the Yars missile "fell during the second stage of flight" '
"Independent Russian news outlet Sirena reported on Wednesday, citing a source at a rocket and space industry enterprise in the country, said at least six missile tests have been unsuccessful since June 30."
Are the reports true? Do not know for sure. Langley might known, but after the Brennan era, can one make that assumption?
The Russian know how to build missiles. There is little doubt in my mind. If these missiles all failed, was it because of stretch goals?
Or is it something potentially more interesting. Quality control? A lot of people fled conscription. They voted with their feet. Also, it is not just ne'er do wells and convicts being killed on far away Ukrainian fields. Some of those killed made good officers, but they could have made as good or better scientists, engineers, administrators, etc. Opportunity cost.
You have bright people and you have to disperse the remaining one to the tank factories, missile factories and everywhere else.
I see the Kremlinites are offering a million rubles to people to sign contracts for an elite force. Where are the bonuses for people who know how to run a factory, laboratory or distribution center. the bonuses or in Western shipyards. It is where the money went after the oligarchs bought their super yachts.
I do admire this about Putin. When he went corrupt, he went big! He stole a whole bunch mo' money than the Schlub Joe Biden. There is that.
Not waiting for the appropriate post to make this comment:
An unexploded tail section of a 300mm missile which appear to contain cluster bombs is embedded in the ground after shelling on the northern outskirts of Kharkiv, on March 21, 2022.
So there is this shill, who complains, if the US gives cluster munitions to the Ukrainians it is an escalation.
"I am going to assume this missile test went splendidly unless I know otherwise."
And how will you know, otherwise? Ah wait; if the Russian media reports it failed, right? That's never going to happen.
Letting your communism shine through there.
The Ukrainians reported the test failed. How could they know it? Humint? Maybe. I would rather be pessimistic and act accordingly.
You need a shave and a new disposition.
