The launch went smoothly, all the warheads of the Bulava reached the target at the estimated time. After the launch, a decision will be made on whether to accept the submarine into service with the Russian Navy. "Emperor Alexander III" is the seventh missile carrier of Project 955 "Borey".

| #1 6 nuclear warheads on each Bulava missile that can effectively hit targets 8000km away. With delivery of 12 naval ships this year. The manufacturing of war materials in Russia is staggering. The bear is not to be messed with. Operation Barbarossa was to be a quick historically massive attack on Russia. Russia had huge losses of troops and equipment. Germany was denied marching into Moscow. Russia out produced Germany in troops and equipment. So in Ukraine Russia is going for total win as they did with Germany. No compromises here. Complete and total."On 24 February 2022, Russia undertook a full-scale attempt to seize the capital of Ukraine and to invade and occupy the country as a whole." Offers of compromise have passed. |
