Russia nuclear test – level 1
08-11-2023 07:00
Russia has a new submarine called Imperator Alexander III. It shoots a big missile called Bulava from under the sea in the White Sea. The missile hits a place far away on the Kamchatka peninsula.
The Navy will take the submarine if the missile test is okay. The submarine has 16 Bulava missiles. They can travel as far as 8,000 kilometers.
President Putin makes Russia’s military stronger since 1999. He says that Russia and the United States are not talking at all. It is very bad. But the two countries will talk again one day.
Difficult words: submarine (a ship which goes underwater), missile (a thing which goes very fast and hits a building or place), peninsula (a piece of land with water on three sides).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What capabilities does the Imperator Alexander III submarine have, other than 16 Bulava missiles?
