Russia successfully tests nuclear-capable torpedo ‘Poseidon’ says Vladimir Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia has successfully tested a new nuclear weapon, the Poseidon torpedo. This torpedo creates radioactive waves in the ocean, rendering coastal cities uninhabitable.

This torpedo is launched from a submarine. It is automatic and can carry a nuclear warhead. He also stated that the Poseidon’s power exceeds that of Russia’s most powerful missile, the Sarmat.

Putin provided information about the missile while meeting with soldiers wounded in the Ukrainian war on Tuesday. He said that there is no other weapon like it in the world.

The unique feature of the Poseidon is that it contains its own nuclear fuel unit. This means it does not require refueling and can travel almost unlimited distances.
