BEIJING, Nov. 10 --
France has successfully tested a new long-range
nuclear missile over the Atlantic Ocean. The launch aims to push forward a new
generation of intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The submarine-launched M-51 missile carried no nuclear weapon for the test flight on Thursday. It has a range of 6,000 kilometers that's 50 percent further than that of the M-45 it will replace. The M-51 was developed by European aerospace giant EADS. It was fired from the CELM test
site at Biscarrosse about 70 kilometers from the southwestern city of Bordeaux.
The new missile is due to come into service around 2010. The French defense
ministry says it has enhanced accuracy and is designed to reduce "collateral
damage".
