Vladimir Putin announced that his military recently conducted a successful trial of a new unstoppable and lethal underwater weapon. The Russian leader proudly showcased the Poseidon high-speed torpedo, which was tested this week. The torpedo is equipped with a nuclear warhead and operates using its own atomic reactor. Russian experts believe the weapon has the capability to generate tidal waves and cause significant damage to islands and coastal areas, considering it a crucial asset in the event of a potential World War Three initiated by Putin.
Russian state television has been advocating for the utilization of this formidable weapon against the United Kingdom amid escalating tensions between the two nations. The Kremlin-controlled media outlet, echoing Putin’s rhetoric, issued a chilling warning that Britain would cease to exist if the Poseidon torpedo is deployed.
A wealthy Putin supporter, Vladimir Solovyov, who had his children educated in the UK, issued a stark message to the British populace, urging them to prepare for the worst. Solovyov menacingly stated that Britain would not survive the impact of the Poseidon torpedo and suggested that the British start learning how to breathe underwater.
In a continuation of his ominous threats, Solovyov questioned the ability of the British to withstand an underwater assault and labeled the Poseidon torpedo as a doomsday weapon. He also recommended the evacuation of Russian diplomats in London and Edinburgh before any potential strike, except for those he deemed as traitors to Russia.
Solovyov is among several prominent TV personalities in Russia who receive substantial salaries to promote Kremlin propaganda, fueling animosity towards Britain and other Western adversaries.
Putin lauded the effectiveness of the Poseidon weapon, highlighting the successful launch from a carrier submarine and the activation of the nuclear power plant. He emphasized the compact size of the reactor and the immense power of the Poseidon torpedo, surpassing even Russia’s most advanced intercontinental ballistic missile, the Sarmat (also known as Satan-2).
Initial reports indicated that the Poseidon torpedo could achieve speeds of up to 115 mph underwater and operate at depths exceeding 3,000 feet. It is designed to carry nuclear warheads with yields of up to 100 megatons, posing a grave threat of catastrophic devastation.
