19FortyFive: Russian nuclear torpedo Poseidon scared the United States
The most dangerous Russian unmanned nuclear torpedo will be put into service in 2027. The scenario of Armageddon, which Russia is preparing for the United States, is revealed by the American edition 19FortyFive.
“The development of weapons has been going on for only a few years, and it is already scary. An underwater drone launched from a submarine is equipped with a nuclear warhead with a capacity of up to two megatons, “the publication says.
The publication recalls that the torpedo is equipped with a nuclear power plant, which will provide the underwater vehicle with an almost unlimited range. According to the publication, Poseidon is capable of crossing the Atlantic Ocean and hitting the coastal cities of the United States.
In total, the Russian Northern Fleet can receive 16 such torpedoes.
According to 19FortyFive, strategic torpedoes are much more difficult to destroy than ground-based launchers of intercontinental ballistic missiles.
In August, the American edition of USNI News noticed that the image from space by Maxar Technologies, showing the oceanographic research vessel Akademik Aleksandrov of project 20183 in Severodvinsk (Arkhangelsk region), can be seen a product resembling the size of the Russian torpedo of the apocalypse – the Poseidon 2M39 nuclear underwater drone.
