Nuclear-armed autonomous underwater vehicle capable of independent trans-oceanic navigation to deliver massive radioactive tsunami against coastal targets. AI-guided stealth UUV.
Poseidon's nuclear warhead is estimated to yield up to 100 megatons, making it capable of creating a large radioactive tsunami that could devastate coastal cities across hundreds of kilometers. The weapon is designed to defeat US missile defense systems by approaching from unexpected directions and at depths that make kinetic interception impractical. Russia's deployment of Poseidon on the specially modified submarine Belgorod represents a credible addition to its strategic deterrent that operates outside the frameworks of existing arms control agreements.
