R-39M Grom (Russian: Гром, Thunder) NATO reporting name of SS-N-28, was a russian submarine-launched ballistic missile. The missile was a upgraded version of the R-39 missile that was designed for the Typhoon class. The new missile was to be carried by the new russian nuclear submarine of the Borei class. The first test launch of a prototype SS-N-28 on 19 November 1998 resulted in a catastrophic failure of the SLBM's booster. The missile exploded roughly 200 meters after take-off from its ground based launch station. Having failed its first three test firings the SS-N-28 project was abandoned. The missile was later replaced by the bulava missile system.
