Putin's terrifying nuclear-armed Poseidon torpedo drones ready to be deployed

Vladimir Putin has manufactured the first set of Poseidon nuclear capable super torpedoes.

The torpedos are being prepared for deployment on the Belgorod nuclear submarine and it was previously claimed by Dmitry Kiselyov that they could “plunge Britain into the depths of the sea”.

The Russian state news agency TASS said the main components of Poseidon included a nuclear reactor to give the torpedo its own power source and claimed it had been successfully completed and tested on.

The announcement of its completion comes four years after the Russian president first publicly discussed what he called a “strategic nuclear weapon”.
