Russia Deploys Nuclear Submarine That Could Cause ‘Radioactive Tsunami’ With Torpedoes: ‘Maybe Really Unstoppable’ | Ukraine and Russia war

Delivered in July last year, the Belgorod is the world’s longest submarine at 178 meters in length, according to Britain’s Royal Navy. Its torpedoes can be equipped with both conventional and nuclear weapons, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin. This allows them to strike a variety of targets, including aircraft carriers, coastal fortifications, and infrastructure.

Using Poseidon torpedoes, Belgorod missiles can create a powerful nuclear explosion, which the British say can be devastating and cause a huge tidal wave or tsunami. According to the US Navy, the Poseidon torpedo has an incredible range. It appears that “it is feared that with current weapons it will not be possible to truly stop them once they have been fired”.

Earlier this year, a former Russian general and military expert dreamed on Russian state television that President Putin would deploy the nuclear submarine, along with torpedoes that he said could unleash a devastating tidal wave 300 to 500 meters high.

Belgorod can also serve as a mother ship for small submarines operating on the sea floor. In that region, Russia is also developing unmanned submarines that can descend to a depth of 6,000 metres. Among other things, they can search for lost military equipment, track underwater sensors, find and destroy communication cables.

The permanent carrier of the Poseidon torpedoes will be the Khabarovsk nuclear submarine. It is currently being built at the Sevmash shipbuilding workshops.
