"The launch was carried out from the submarine platform in line with military training. The rocket warhead arrived down range at the designated time," the ministry said in a statement.
The RSM-54, or Sineva, is a hybrid ballistic missile that in its final stages becomes a modified cruise missile. In this guise, the warhead cannot be targeted by anti-missile systems that rely on a ballistic trajectory for their calculations.
Tuesday's launch is the second such test-firing of the Sineva in less than a week. Speaking after the last successful launch, a general said Russia could thwart any anti-missile system in the foreseeable future.
"The military hardware now on our weapons, and those that will appear in the next few years, will enable our missiles to outperform any anti-missile system, including future systems," General Nikolai Solovtsov told journalists on Dec. 17.
Officials also announced the successful test-firing of a land-launched RS-24 missile with multiple warheads from the Plesetsk range in northern Russia.
