The United States is concerned that Russia’s “doomsday” torpedoes could cause a “nuclear tsunami.”

During a seminar on Nov. 13, Christopher Ford, State Department undersecretary of state for international security and non-proliferation, warned about Russia’s Poseidon torpedo.

Ford believes that Russia intends to deploy nuclear warheads capable of destroying multiple megatons on the Poseidon and that Moscow can launch these weapons in the event of a military conflict with the United States. If Poseidon is activated, Ford fears it could engulf America’s coastal cities in a “nuclear tsunami.”

Ford said Washington “has reason to be concerned about Russian politics.” In addition, Mr. Ford is also concerned about the Perimeter nuclear launch system dating back to the Soviet Union (NATO designates it as “Dead Hand”).

Poseidon used to be called State-6. It was officially announced in 2018 with the goal of addressing US-developed anti-ballistic technology.

According to some sources, the Poseidon torpedo carries an extremely powerful warhead, with a destructive power of up to 100 megatons, that can blow up coastal cities. However, Poseidon’s warhead was also reported to be 2 megatons. However you look at it, when Poseidon explodes, it can cause tsunamis to attack coastal areas. This weapon can travel at high speed underwater thanks to the nuclear reactor system.

According to the RTWhen deployed, the Poseidon is capable of destroying an opponent’s naval base or carrier battle group. Poseidon is known as the “doomsday” torpedoes.

In the 2018 Federal Message, Putin claimed that Russia has completed the construction of maneuverable underground unmanned weapons at great depths, with a range of transcontinental travel at speeds exceeding current submarines and torpedoes. and ships floating around the world. The US side has also called Poseidon a “serious strategic threat” to US seaports, coastal military bases, and carrier battle groups.

In August, Russia announced its updated nuclear doctrine. In this document, Russia declared that it would never be the first to initiate a nuclear attack and would only use the nuclear arsenal to deal with actions that pose the threat of “destruction of Russia”.
