The Russian Navy does not have reliable aircraft carriers but the Kremlin is replacing them with a powerful submarine fleet with the latest submarines equipped with the most modern missiles. The Oscar II K-329 Belgorod fast attack submarine is the largest Moscow built in 30 years.
The K-329 Belgorod was introduced to the public at an event in Severodvinsk on 8 July. This submarine has a length of 167.3 meters and a width of 15 meters and is equipped with two nuclear reactors. It underwent three years of testing, while some reports stated that the submarine was ready for use.

The K-329 Belgorod submarine is capable of carrying the Poseidon nuclear torpedo with a submarine equipped with six weapons of mass destruction. Torpedoes are described by military experts as the most feared weapon by the United States navy.
A Russian news channel claims that Poseidon was able to erase Britain from the world map with a 'radioactive tsunami wave'. The torpedo has a length of 24 meters and can move at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour and reach a depth of 975 meters.
It is also said to have an unlimited range and can cause a two megaton explosion underwater. The explosion of one megaton is equal to the force of one million tons of explosive TNT. However, it will take several years before the missile is ready for use.
“The real goal is to coat the coastal areas of enemy countries with radioactive material because the effects of underwater nuclear explosions are quite permanent and difficult to recover from. "A fast torpedo strike will bypass the missile defense capabilities of the United States," according to Russian media reports.
