| NATO Technology Cannot Prevent Poseidon from Destroying Ukrainian Submarine Base |
Moscow - Russia destroys the Ukrainian submarine base in the city of Nikolaev using the Poseidon underwater drone. This base itself is where the British military has prepared drones to attack Russian military ships.
"We have done a bit of work and know that the Nazis have decided to set up a submarine sabotage unit on our Maisky island," the resistance fighter said in a video sent to Sputnik. According to the fighter, underwater drones have been prepared for operations regarding the alleged Kiev attack on Transnistria.
The Poseidon (unmanned nuclear powered underwater vehicle) is shaped like a giant torpedo to carry a nuclear warhead weighing up to two megatons. Supported by a small nuclear reactor, Poseidon has a range of 10,000 kilometers to cross the world's oceans.
Poseidon is propelled by a nuclear reactor at 115 miles per hour and operates at depths of up to 3,300 feet. The weapon carries a massive 100-megaton warhead powerful enough to generate giant tidal waves or tsunamis to destroy coastal cities.
How useful such a weapon is is debatable. The Poseidon is too slow, compared to ICBMs and bombers, to be useful in a first attack or direct counterattack. Moving at high speed can make it so noisy that anti-submarine warfare can detect it.
The weapon's autonomous nature raises all questions about armed robots (especially those carrying very high-power bombs).
Nonetheless, as a psychological weapon, it is brilliant. There's something eerie, like a Hollywood monster movie, about the thought of robotic tsunami bombs crawling across the ocean floor. But for every vampire, there is a stake waiting to kill him right in the heart.
With Poseidon's deep-diving capabilities, Russia can counter US missile defense systems and ensure deterrence with strike capabilities Russia's Defense Ministry said in late February that Ukraine had intensified preparations for an invasion of the breakaway Transnistria region of Moldova, which poses a threat to peacekeeping.
