This is the Poseidon underwater drone first reported by Russian President Vladimir Putin during his message to the Federal Assembly in 2018.
Chinese military portal “Zhongo Junwan” said that the Russian Armed Forces have found a new way to attack the enemy with nuclear missiles launched by nuclear submarines.
The submarine has a high speed, the ability to dive to great depths and carry a nuclear charge. The military will be able to use it both against enemy ships and to destroy coastal infrastructure. “Poseidon will reach the other continent in tens of hours, which theoretically increases the chances of intercepting it, but most of the way the torpedo passes at depths of over a thousand meters. This depth is not available to conventional submarines or anti-submarine torpedoes.
“Large-size nuclear submarines combined with strategic nuclear missiles represent a new generation of nuclear weapons in Russia. Since the U.S. is constantly strengthening its missile defense system, Russian military engineers had to find ways to surpass it”, – Chinese experts believe.
