Putin said that the power of Poseidon is more than that of Russia’s most dangerous missile, Sarmat.
President Vladimir Putin said that Russia has successfully tested a new nuclear weapon, Poseidon Torpedo. These torpedoes create radioactive waves in the sea, making coastal cities uninhabitable.
This torpedo is released from a submarine. It is automatic and can carry nuclear weapons. He also told that the power of Poseidon is more than that of Russia’s most powerful missile, Sarmat.
Putin gave information about this on Tuesday while meeting soldiers injured in the Ukraine war. He said that there is no other such weapon in the world.
The special thing about Poseidon is that it has its own nuclear fuel unit installed inside it. That means it does not need refueling and can run for almost unlimited distance.
Russia succeeded in doing two different things simultaneously
Putin said that Russia has succeeded in doing two different tasks simultaneously. Launching a torpedo/device from a submarine and activating the small nuclear-energy machine (reactor) inside the torpedo.
Putin said that the reactor continued to operate in that device for some time. This is a new and huge technological breakthrough, which has never been done before.
Created in response to America and NATO
Putin said that this weapon has been made in response to America and NATO, because America has expanded NATO in Eastern Europe by breaking old agreements.
Poseidon is said to be a post-apocalyptic weapon. Russia is working on this, its information first came in 2016. Two years later, Putin himself confirmed this.
This torpedo is named after the Greek god Poseidon. In Greek mythology, Poseidon is considered the god of the sea, earthquakes and storms.
Expert said – Poseidon psychological weapon
Researcher Ina Holst Pedersen Kvam of the Norwegian Naval Academy says that Poseidon is actually a psychological weapon. Its job is not only to cause destruction, but also to scare others and break their courage.
According to Quam, the submarines carrying the Poseidon would probably be activated only when a major conventional or nuclear war has already begun and the outcome is beginning to be decided.
Information about the Poseidon Torpedo was first reported in 2018.
Second big success for Russia in a week
This is the second major success for Russia in a week. Earlier on October 21, it had successfully tested the world’s first nuclear powered cruise missile Burevstnik-9M739. It was then claimed that the range of this missile is unlimited.
The Burevestnik (9M730) is a cruise missile powered by a nuclear reactor instead of a conventional fuel engine. Because of this, this missile can fly almost unlimited distance. It is also capable of dodging the enemy’s anti-missile defense system. Read the full news…
Torpedo is an underwater weapon
Torpedo is a type of underwater weapon. It targets a ship or submarine and goes near it and attacks it.
It has navigation and homing systems which determine its target by detecting sound, radar or sonar.
