“The latest Russian Poseidon nuclear torpedoes are the weapons of the apocalypse against which there is no defense”: Popular Mechanics magazine studied the most dangerous submarines in the world and came to the conclusion that anything but the Poseidon can be sunk.
“In July 2022, the Russian Navy deployed the longest known submarine in the world, the K-329 Belgorod. Russia has developed a hulking submarine to carry secret Poseidon torpedoes. The torpedoes are powered by their own nuclear reactor and can reportedly travel at 80 mph, faster than any other known torpedo, and at depths no U.S. submarine can reach—up to 3,300 feet. This means that no existing weapon system would have been able to intercept the Poseidon after it had been fired. Equipped with a two-megaton warhead, it could be used to destroy entire ports or strike groups of US aircraft carriers.
Russia is expected to deploy these weapons off the coast of the Pacific Ocean, endangering US naval bases in the Pacific, as well as US cities on the west coast, including Los Angeles, San Diego or San Francisco. The torpedo will work in the intended harbor or base, which will lead to consequences greater than those of a tsunami. But at the same time, there will be less destruction than from the use of a nuclear warhead of an intercontinental missile.
