Such a torpedo was envisaged in 1950s, during Cold War, by nuclear physicist Andrei Sakharov - later a famous dissident and peace activist. Drones will get high speed and unlimited cruising range.įor a few seconds on 10 November 2015, evening news programs showed a document with drawings and details of a planned Russian nuclear-capable underwater drone that would be launched from a submarine, dubbed Status-6. As sources previously reported to TASS, Poseidon will be able to carry a nuclear warhead with a capacity of up to two megatons to destroy enemy naval bases. According to the Ministry of Defense, the Poseidon vehicles, together with the carrier submarines, are part of the so-called oceanic multipurpose system. Submarines "Belgorod" and "Khabarovsk" must carry six Poseidon vehicles. The first Poseidon carrier - Project 09852 Belgorod submarine - was launched on April 23, 2019. Then the factory sea trials of the submarine will begin," the source in the military-industrial complex source said. "The withdrawal of the Khabarovsk submarine from the Sevmash shipyard is planned for the spring - summer of next year. The Project 09851 Khabarovsk special-purpose nuclear submarine, capable of carrying up to six Poseidon strategic drones, will be launched in the first half of 2021. While this is all very exciting to talk about, probably this is a cover story for the actual missions of this large Unmanned Undersa Vehicle, which is probably part of Russia's emerging Harmony undersea surveillance system, a SOSUS with Russian characteristics. Public discussions of this system almost always focus on its "doomsday machine" nuclear retaliation role. He noted that such drones can be equipped with both conventional and nuclear warheads and will be able to destroy enemy infrastructure, aircraft carrier groups, etc. Status-6 / Kanyon / SS-N-38 / Poseidon - Ocean Multipurpose Systemįor the first time, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about a Russian unmanned underwater vehicle with a nuclear power plant in his message to the Federal Assembly in March 2018.
