According to one report that quotes an unnamed representative of the defense industry, the first test launch of the Bulava SLBM in the series scheduled after the last September's failure of the missile will be conducted in September 2014. Following the failure, the ministry of defense announced a plan to test five additional test launches to make sure that the missile is ready for deployment. The five missiles were taken to the Votkinsk plant for inspection. The tests were expected to begin in May-June 2014, but the preparations apparently take longer than expected.
