Putin announces Russia tested Poseidon nuclear torpedo, which can destroy cities with radioactive tsunamis

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that his country’s military successfully tested a massive nuclear-torpedo dubbed the Poseidon capable of leveling coastal cities with 1,600-foot high radioactive tsunamis.

The despot, while enjoying tea with wounded Russian soldiers at a hospital in Moscow Wednesday, said the underwater bomb was launched from a submarine the day before and was a “huge success.”

“For the first time, we managed not only to launch it with a launch engine from a carrier submarine, but also to launch the nuclear power unit on which this device passed a certain amount of time,” Putin said.

“There is nothing like this.”

“This is a huge success,” Putin said, adding that the destructive power of the Poseidon surpasses the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, ominously known as the Satan II, which can carry 15 nuclear warheads.

“The Poseidon’s power significantly exceeds the power of even our most promising Sarmat intercontinental range missile,” Putin said.

While not much is publicly known about the Poseidon, reports estimate that the weapon is capable of carrying a 2 megaton warhead — or more than 150 times the power of the bomb the US dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.

They are designed to trigger radioactive tsunamis up to 1,600-feet high from hundreds of miles away, according to Russia state media.

The foreboding Poseidon test comes just days after Putin ordered another nuclear drill and on Sunday confirmed Russia had successfully tested its “invincible” nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile, which experts have dubbed a “tiny flying Chernobyl.”

Putin announced the Poseidon and Burevestnik projects in 2018 in response to the US withdrawal in 2001 from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and NATO’s expansion.

Russia may have previously tried and failed at an attempt to test the Poseidon in 2022 during the first year of the Ukraine war.

The apparently botched exercise took place in the Arctic Sea and involved Russia’s behemoth Belgorod nuclear submarine, a senior US official told CNN at the time.
