Poseidon: The world's strongest nuclear torpedo, with a range of up to 10,000 kilometers, called the "doomsday weapon"

Today’s Russia has long lost the mighty powers of the Soviet era, but with the sword of nuclear equipment, even the United States has to be afraid. As early as 2018, when Russian President Vladimir Putin released his State of the Union address, he focused on two types of nuclear equipment being developed by the fighting nations: the "Haiyan" nuclear-powered cruise missile and the "Poseidon" nuclear-powered unmanned submarine. After the announcement of

, the Americans immediately couldn't sit still. To this day, Trump has included these two pieces of equipment as a key issue in the US-Russian arms control negotiations. Even Trump's special envoy for arms control affairs Marshall Billingsley directly referred to them as "moving Chernobyl." The irony of

is that the first country to wield the "nuclear stick" in the US-Russia confrontation is actually the United States. After Trump came to power in 2017, he launched the so-called "Nuclear Posture Assessment Report" on the grounds of protecting "American interests" to remove obstacles to the use of nuclear weapons for the US military. As far as Russia is concerned, it is inferior to the United States in terms of conventional military power and is constantly facing nuclear threats. Naturally, it pays more attention to the research and development of core nuclear equipment, while the "Haiyan" nuclear-powered cruise missile and the "Poseidon" nuclear-powered unmanned The submarine is one of the representatives. As a strategic intercontinental cruise missile,

"Haiyan" was developed as early as 2001. Compared with conventionally powered cruise missiles, after possessing nuclear power, the "Haiyan" not only has theoretically unlimited range, but also has a high penetration probability and good stealth performance. It can be said that the opponent cannot be defended against. Russia’s TASS news agency reported in September 2019 that the Russian army had previously completed the “Haiyan” test at the three launch sites of Novaya Zemlya, Kapustin Yar and Nenox, and it is expected to be officially installed in 2025.

Compared with "Haiyan", the strategic deterrence capability of "Poseidon" nuclear-powered unmanned submarine is even more terrifying. The "Poseidon" carried by the "Khabarovsk" has a range of up to 10,000 kilometers, and has a maximum diving depth of 1,000 meters, and can advance underwater at a high speed of 100 knots. In particular, the 2 million tons of nuclear warheads it carries can be called "doomsday weapons." In addition to attacking hostile target aircraft carrier formations and coastal facilities, the "Poseidon" with a nuclear warhead can even form a radioactive tsunami within the target area, causing nuclear pollution within thousands of miles. At present, there is no weapon and equipment that can defend against "Poseidon" surprise nuclear strikes.

Obviously, Russia has begun to work hard on "asymmetric equipment" with limited military spending. In the case of the "Haiyan" nuclear-powered cruise missile and the "Poseidon" nuclear-powered unmanned submarine, nuclear radiation and nuclear pollution are what the United States really fears. After all, the "Chernobyl incident" of 1986 caused panic across Europe. Today, when the "moving Chernobyl" appears, even with the protection of the two oceans, the Americans do not have the confidence to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

The small one bullies the big one, and the launch of a 6,000-ton patrol ship cannot change the balance of law enforcement forces between China and Japan on the Diaoyu Islands.
