Russia successfully tested the autonomous torpedo Poseidon, capable of generating radioactive waves, according to statements by Vladimir Putin.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia has successfully conducted a test of the autonomous super torpedo Poseidon, which uses nuclear propulsion. This torpedo is capable of generating radioactive waves in the ocean, turning coastal cities into uninhabitable zones. Putin detailed that the test included the launch of the torpedo from a submarine and the activation of the nuclear power unit, emphasizing that there is no equivalent in the world. He stated that the power of Poseidon exceeds even that of the intercontinental missile Sarmat, known as Satan II. This test comes in the context of Russia recently demonstrating other nuclear-capable weapons, including the Burevestnik cruise missile.
