The most dangerous Russian unmanned vehicle will be the Poseidon autonomous underwater nuclear torpedo, which will be put into service in 2027. The scenario of armageddon, which Russia is preparing for the United States, reveals the American edition of 19FortyFive.
"The development of weapons has been underway for only a few years, and it is already frightening. 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 reminds 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 coastal cities in 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 land-based launchers of intercontinental ballistic missiles.
In August, the American edition of USNI News noticed that in a picture from space of Maxar Technologies, demonstrating the oceanographic research vessel Akademik Alexandrov of the 20183 project in Severodvinsk (Arkhangelsk region), you can see a product that resembles a Russian torpedo of the apocalypse — a nuclear underwater drone Poseidon 2M39.
