Judicial Aunicipal: What is known about the Russian nuclear torpedo "Poseidon" (infographic)

The weapon had to carry a thermonuclear charge to the US shores. The 1949-1954 project was closed. It is reported that the idea was returned in the 1960s during the races of nuclear weapons. The USSR was created An602, which was also called "king-bomb" with a capacity of 58. 6 megaton. Later, the idea arose to make its underwater version. Such weapons had to cause a large wave and destroy the coastal regions of the enemy.

The publication writes that the nuclear physicist Andrey Sakharov himself was carried out with the idea of ​​creating such a torpedo. However, he understood that the destruction of ports with these weapons would cause a large number of human casualties. The project was abandoned because of great cruelty. However, the real motivation of the USSR could not be too good trials. The material states that in 2010 in the Russian Federation they returned to the project.

And after 5 years, Russian President Vladimir Putin presented a new sea doctrine. A few months later, the media allegedly had a leakage of the “Street-6” system. Thus, journalists showed the text of the appointment of weapons: "The defeat of important objects of the enemy economy in the area ". According to journalists, in 2018, the Pentagon recognized the development of the Russian Federation of a new intercontinental submarine nuclear autonomous torpedo.

In the same year, the Kremlin decided to hold a national vote on the name of a weapon of mass destruction. In addition to Poseidona, the popular options were Aurora and the Superior, as well as Luntik and Vatnik. After the Russian Federation, she regularly began to report the successful tests of Poseidon, although there is no documentary confirmation of this test.

According to the senior analyst of the National Institute of Public Policy, a former high -ranking Pentagon official Mark Schneider, weapons of this kind can be called the largest nuclear weapon in history. Poseidon is intended for mass murder of civilians and contamination of territories with radiation. It is reported that Poseidon himself is an unmanned underwater, which has an unlimited margin. There is very little official information about it.

The length of the torpedo is 20 meters, and the range of action is limited only by the life of nuclear fuel. The material states that the carriers of Poseidon are: however, as reported, "Khabarovsk" and "Ulyanovsk" are at the stage of construction. But Belgorod was launched in 2019. It is expected that he should wear 6 Poseidon torpedo. Belgorod, according to journalists, is already called the largest submarine in the world.

Thus, according to official information, the length of the case is 184 meters, the crew consists of 110 people. The submarine can move at a speed of 32 knots or 59 kilometers per hour. As for "Poseidon", this torpedo is reported, contains a nuclear charge of 100 megaton. It is an equivalent of 55 nuclear bombs dropped by Americans on the Japanese city of Hiroshima in 1945.

The editor-in-chief of Defense Express Oleg Katkov told reporters that if a 100-megatone bomb explodes in the city, then a kilometer radius of the lesion area will be formed. In this area, everything will turn into a pair "at a molecular level". It is reported that this power can be destroyed by New York or Los Angeles. At the point of the explosion a crater of 430 meters and a diameter of 3. 5 kilometers will be formed.

Even at a distance of 64 kilometers from the epicenter of the explosion, people will receive third degree burns. This guarantees slow death for them during the day. Moreover, as the publication writes, the explosion will lead to very large radiation contamination. According to a passing wind, a dose of radiation of 1000 councils (for the receipt of radiation illness of the first degree will be ten times less) will be obtained 500 kilometers from the epicenter of the explosion.

As early as 2020, the then US Secretary of State on International Security and Non -Playing Christopher Ford stated that Poseidoni was needed to flood the US coastal cities with radioactive tsunami. This lesion can exclude coastal areas of the country from economic circulation for many years, and millions of people will be victims of weapons.

It is reported that the technical characteristics of the Poseidon torpedo: as noted in the Defense Express, Russians like to claim the test of the so -called "Super Armed Forces" before making the missiles themselves. Currently, torpedoes that must already be made cannot be carriers of nuclear warheads, because they simply do not. According to TNE Drive, it was even recognized in the Ministry of Defense of Russia. Therefore, torpedo may only be used for new tests.

"It is significant that the Russian Federation tried to intimidate NATO by throwing that the next stage of tests in the Kara Sea came out the submarine" Belgorod ", and during these tests there will necessarily be launched these" Posidodons ", each of whom seems to carry a warrior in 2 megatons But at first this throw was disavowed. And now it turned out that no "Poseidon" as a ready -to -use carrier of nuclear weapons - still does not exist in nature.

Accordingly, the real characteristics of this "product" have not yet passed, " - said in Defense Express articles. Also in 2018, an article by an American researcher of Satton underwater fleet, which states that the US and NATO may well counteract new Russian weapons. But journalist David Gembling, who specializes in technology and defense, spoke to the Euronews to create a tsunami with nuclear weapons is not so easy. To bring this "plan", a lot of energy will be required.
