“First-class nuclear power” –

In 2022, Russian propaganda scared everyone by showing, on the state channel Russia I, the effects of the detonation of a nuclear weapon off the coast of Ireland. What would make the transport possible would be the Poseidon, an underwater drone which, after the explosion, could unleash waves up to 500 meters high and capable of overwhelming Ireland and the United Kingdom to the point of obliterating them. Washington and its allies, although confirmation is lacking, have taken into consideration the possible future threat. The Wall Street Journal has explored the topic in depth in recent hours, re-proposing the images of the Poseidon tests conducted by the Federation and reporting the analyzes of the experts, which, in fact, have not denied the destructive force of the medium.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the existence of the Poseidon to everyone in 2018. What is the goal? According to John Erath, an analyst at the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, it is “to demonstrate that (the Russians) are still a first-class nuclear power.” The weapon, which could be activated in the coming years, has been described by the Kremlin as an “unmanned underwater vehicle”. As we read in an article in Il Giornale, “autonomous driving would allow him to get around obstacles and overcome his adversary’s countermeasures at a speed of 185 kilometers per hour and with a range of 10 thousand kilometres”.
