In order to effectively curb the U.S. Navy's superiority on the high seas and oceans, the Soviet Union not only developed powerful anti-ship missile technology, nuclear torpedo was also the key to victory. Now After the disintegration of the Soviet Union , nuclear The torpedo is making a comeback again. It turns out that the Russian Poseidon nuclear torpedo has begun to be officially installed. One can destroy the US aircraft carrier formation, and the US military cannot stop it. The Poseidon nuclear torpedo will also be used in conjunction with the Belgorod nuclear submarine. In this issue, let’s analyze how powerful this new Russian weapon is.

Wanting to attack the US aircraft carrier formation is definitely one of the most difficult projects in the world today. After all, US aircraft carriers are often surrounded by multiple escort warships, with a three-layer defense system inside and outside, and a general anti-ship It is difficult for weapons to get close to it, and the aircraft carrier itself has strong defense capabilities. The United States once conducted an unsinkability test with the USS America. As a result, 18 kinds of weapons were used. After half a month of bombing, it was impossible to sink it. Therefore, I thought To use conventional means to sink a US aircraft carrier is simply a pipe dream.

But if a nuclear torpedo is used to attack an aircraft carrier, only one nuclear torpedo can completely paralyze an entire aircraft carrier formation. Even if it does not directly hit the warship, the nuclear explosion will generate a huge tsunami, which will overturn the warship. The United States has also conducted tests on the resistance of surface ships to nuclear explosions. Although the nuclear explosion is not enough to completely sink the aircraft carrier, the powerful shock wave and high temperature will also cause the warship to be severely deformed. If there were people on the warship at the time, it would have been violent. There is little hope, and the aircraft carrier completely lost its combat effectiveness after encountering a nuclear attack. Of course, the Poseidon nuclear torpedo has a more powerful function and can be used directly as an important strategic nuclear deterrent force for Russia. The Poseidon nuclear torpedo can lurk underwater for a long time and can also be carried by the strategic nuclear submarine . , wait until necessary before launching. It is worth mentioning that the current anti-missile interception methods of other countries are mainly aimed at other countries' ballistic missiles . However, there is currently no effective method for nuclear torpedoes lurking underwater. Means can detect it, let alone intercept it.

And the Poseidon nuclear torpedo attack method is also very simple, which is to detonate near the coast of the hostile country, thereby creating a huge tsunami. This also means that as long as there is sea around the hostile country, then there is no way to escape the wave. What’s more important about the Poseidon nuclear torpedo attack is that because the coastal areas are mostly plains and have convenient transportation, they are the economic, political and cultural centers of many countries. Therefore, being hit by a Poseidon nuclear torpedo will often cause very serious consequences. . At present, the relationship between the United States and Russia is becoming more and more tense. Russia has successively announced news about Sarmat and Poseidon nuclear torpedoes. It seems that it is ready for a nuclear war. All of this is largely due to the United States. It was caused by the promotion of NATO's eastward expansion , so after facing such a clear nuclear warning from Russia, the United States should also restrain itself. If a nuclear war really occurs, then everything will be too late.
