Mired in its war in Ukraine, the Kremlin is relaunching propaganda about its nuclear torpedo which would reach a speed of 370 km/h underwater and would be capable of creating tsunamis. Baptized Poseidon, Russia would have finished manufacturing the first copies.
Russia has just relaunched the propaganda machine around its Poseidon 2M39 nuclear torpedo. According to Tass, the state news agency, the weapon passed its first tests and the first series was produced. These “torpedo-drones” are intended for a long-range strike and will equip the submarinesubmarine nuclear K-329 Belgorod.
The torpedo and submarine were originally announced by Vladimir Putin in March 2018. The Poseidon 2M39 is 24 meters long and 2 meters wide. According to official information, the torpedo could deliver a thermonuclear warhead of up to 100 megatons, but the figure of 2 megatons would be more realistic. It would still be 150 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb.
An advertised speed of 200 knots
The vitessevitesse maximum is 70 knotsknots (130 km/h). However, according to official sources, the torpedo could even reach a speed of 200 knots (370 km/h) using supercavitation technology, in other words, using gazgaz warm, distributed at the front, to reduce water friction. It is a second-strike weapon, intended for retaliation in the event of an attack on Russia. The torpedo is supposed to create a radioactive tsunami to make enemy coastal towns uninhabitable. Of course, these assertions, coming from the propaganda apparatuses, are questionable.
This news is also an opportunity for propagandists to bring out the video originally released last year showing the effect of a torpedo attacking the United Kingdom. On the Rossiya 1 channel, Dmitry Kiselev claimed that the weapon would trigger a 500-meter high tsunami, wiping out the country which would be plunged under radioactive sea water. To see the video, the radioactive fallout would once again stop at the French border…
In L’ArcticArctic, the Russian army is accumulating equipment and secret weapons. Among them, there would be a nuclear torpedo project called Poseidon 2M39. This super-weapon would have the particularity of sneaking on the seabed and then detonating its nuclear charge in order to generate a radioactive tsunami on the targeted coastal area.

Swarms of suicide drones, missilesmissiles hypersonic nuclear… mattermatter of war, the human imagination knows no bounds. Among the super-weapons projects, here is Poseidon 2M39, a torpedo being developed by Russia and which would be designed to target coastal areas in order to devastate them by generating a gigantic tsunami. The radioactive fallout would then render an area uninhabitable for decades. The ecological consequences would also be formidable.
The Poseidon 2M39 would be stealthy and powered by a nuclear reactor. It could pass through coastal defense systems to accomplish its disastrous mission with its multi-megaton nuclear warhead.
The discovery of this torpedo capable of sneaking on the surface of the seabed is not a novelty. It was considered a legend and even a joke since its revelation around 2015. As early as 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin had promised the arrival of a new generation of weapons with this famous Poseidon 2M39 and a hypersonic missile called Tsirkon. The latter is no longer a myth for US authorities, as it was tested in the Arctic less than a month ago, as reported by the Russian news agency. Tass.
For this time, the threat of the development of the Poseidon 2M39 missile now seems credible to experts. They see this weapon as an additional lever of deterrence, but also a strong argument for taking control during negotiations on arms control. It is for these reasons that like the Tsirkon missile, it must become concrete for the Russian authorities.
It’s not a joke anymore
Last year, this threat was publicly mentioned by Christopher A Ford, former Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Non-Proliferation, on the antenna of CNN. He considered this weapon to be a danger to American coastal cities. For their part, the Norwegian intelligence services are worried about the ecological consequences of a possible accidentaccident during tests. In any case, this is what was declared to CNN, its leader, Vice Admiral Nils Andreas Stensønes. However, at this time, satellite images clearly show that Russia is in the process of amassing large quantities of equipment on its military bases located on the Arctic coast.
And on these bases, underground installations are precisely likely to accommodate the experimental torpedo Poseidon 2M39. It must be said that due to the global warmingglobal warming, this area becomes highly strategic with the melting of the ice. In this sector, the Russian authorities are seeking to secure their northern coast and open a new maritime route between Europe and Asia. For its part, concerned about this reinforced presence, the American army is increasing its maneuvers in its nearby maritime zone. With the current tensions, all the elements of a Cold War 2.0 are gradually falling into place.
