For those who might not know, Russia has once created a nuclear weapon that indeed made a lot of people all over the world feel scared of and discussed for a very long time. The nuclear weapon that got mentioned would be none other than the Russian missiles known as ‘Poseidon’. It could be seen as a huge torpedo with a nuclear warhead tip.
This weapon is categorized as one of the strongest nuclear weapons ever made by human beings. Previously at the Russian Federation Assembly that was done on the 1st March, Russian President that is Vladimir Putin said the weapon was capable of moving on the deep seafloor and it was very difficult for the enemy to identify its weaknesses.
Other than that, he also added that nothing in this world would be able to resist the strong explosion of this weapon. Nobody would see it coming because these particular weapons are carried on the deep seafloor using transport without a driver. These weapons can be launched on a number of targets such as aircraft and even coastal defenses.
To make matters worse, these missiles have been fitted with a layer of active radio that will definitely affect the entire area and make it unusable for human beings for a relatively long period of time. The Poseidon missile has been estimated to be capable of reaching speeds of up to 70 nautical miles per hour, faster than any American missile. Poseidon was also capable of diving as deep as 3,280 feet to the seabed, farther than any American Navy submarine.
