The intelligence of NATO sent the most important allies the report on the movements of the Belgorod submarine. According to the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, intelligence is afraid that the Poseidon suprapex, which is called the “Apocalypse weapon”, can be launched from the Premier League. The torpedo is equipped with a nuclear warhead and is able to call the “radioactive tsunami,” the publication notes. Specialists compare the effect of starting it with the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
La Repubblic writes that the US -created systems with infrared sensors for tracking missile launches in the case of Poseidon will turn out to be useless, since the Super -Torpeda is designed to radiate very little warmth. She move silently at a speed of more than 100 km/h, ”La Repubblica notes.
Belgorod submarine was launched in Severodvinsk in 2019. In the summer of 2022, the Russian Navy received the first submarine. The 184-meter submarine "Belgorod" is the longest of the existing submarines, previously reported CNN. Its length exceeds even the size of the American sons of the Ohio class (171 meters). These submarines are part of the US strategic nuclear forces. The Russian boat was lengthened “in order to place the world's first torpedoes with nuclear weapons and equipment for collecting intelligence,” CNN notes.
Poseidon nuclear torpedoes are called the weapon of the "Judgment Day". They became known about them after in 2015 on Russian television “accidentally” was shown the page of the presentation of the project, which was still called “Status 6”.
However, as the US intelligence services found out , the “leak” was deliberate. According to American officials, the screening of a nuclear torpedo was part of a plan aimed at dissuading the United States from the deployment of missile defense in Europe.
TASS wrote that Poseidon can carry a nuclear fighting unit with a capacity of up to 2 megatons. This is 100 times more than that of a bomb dropped on Hiroshima, and 10 times more than that of the latest version of the B61 nuclear bomb developed in the United States.
“Poseidon” love to use Russian propagandists for threats to the West. So on May 1, 2022, Dmitry Kiselev threatened the destruction of Britain.
