Russia has revealed the construction of its first drones with the ability to cause radioactive tsunamis and destroy enemy naval bases.
The first batch of nuclear-armed Poseidon drones has been produced, according to the Russian state news agency TASS on Monday.
Russia Produces Nuclear Warheads For Poseidon Torpedo
These nuclear torpedoes are designed to alter the maritime battlefield by destroying enemy shores with 300-foot tsunamis and attacking naval equipment with a purported "infinite range." TASS proceeded with a scary announcement: "It will shortly be sent to the nuclear-powered submarine Belgorod for specific purposes."
In October, NATO issued a warning that they had lost sight of the Belgorod, a nuclear submarine weighing 30,000 tons, somewhere in the Arctic. It sparked concerns that Putin may employ his prized monster weapon in the Ukraine conflict.
According to Russia, the mega-submarine is capable of carrying eight torpedo drone warheads that might unleash nuclear Armageddon. After a few days, the world's biggest submarine was happily found elsewhere in the Arctic.
Along with its nuclear payload, the so-called "weapon of the apocalypse" is expressly built for clandestine operations, such as sabotage and espionage. Dmitry Kiselyov, an aggressive spokesman for the Russian propaganda machine, recently informed television viewers that these new drones might "submerge Britain in the sea."
Putin formally unveiled the Poseidon project in 2018, although it has been suspected since the Cold War that preparations for this frightening nuclear weapon have been in the works. Putin stated in 2018 that "there is no weapon that can counter them in the world today."
Additional information on the terrifying nuclear weapon has been a closely kept Russian secret. According to reports, a successful field test was conducted in 2021, but Russia plans to complete its doomsday project by 2027.
Russia is closer to achieving this objective due to the astounding growth of drones. The declaration comes after a Putin ally and former army general advocated for the destruction of the United Kingdom for its backing of Ukraine. The announcement on Monday that Poseidon manufacturing has begun is likely aimed to frighten the West as Putin suffers defeats in Ukraine.

Russia-Ukraine War Update
Since a somber New Year's Eve statement characterizing the West as Russia's ultimate enemy in the conflict in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin has delivered repeated indications that Russia will not back down. Putin has sent hypersonic missiles to the Atlantic and designated his top general to lead the fight.
US and Russian authorities have described Poseidon as a new type of retaliation weapon capable of causing radioactive ocean surges that leave coastal communities uninhabitable, according to NDTV.
Putin originally disclosed Poseidon in 2018, describing it as an entirely new type of strategic nuclear weapon, and confirmed that it will have its own nuclear power source. Poseidon is essentially a hybrid between a torpedo and a drone that can be fired from a nuclear submarine, albeit there is little known information about it in the public domain.
Christopher Ford, assistant secretary of state for international security and non-proliferation in the United States at the time, said in 2020 that the weapons were planned to "inundate US coastal communities with radioactive tsunamis."
According to the US Naval Institute, a military think tank, the creation of Poseidon flipped conventional wisdom regarding nuclear weapons deployed from submarines on its head.
The weapon is slated to reach service in 2027, although technological challenges have allegedly slowed its development, as per The Telegraph via MSN.
In November of last year, US intelligence sources reported the failure of early sea testing.
The torpedo was scheduled to be tested in the Arctic aboard the Belgorod, the world's biggest submarine at 178 meters in length.
According to accounts, the warship returned to port in Severomorsk, the base of the Russian Northern Fleet, without any evidence that the Poseidon had been tested. Tass claimed that the submarine's crew had finished testing with torpedo types. According to analysts, the Kremlin has a history of overstating the capabilities of newly manufactured weaponry.
The intelligence and geopolitical risk organization Sibylline's Justin Crump stated, "While the Poseidon is a novel type of weapon, it is primarily a deterrent meant to bypass missile defense systems."
Kremlin-sponsored propaganda on the weapon has frequently been exaggerated, especially when targeted toward the United Kingdom. There are very few confirmed public facts about the weapon, other than apparent Russian simulations of it impacting enemy aircraft carriers and coasts.
Last year, a Russian broadcaster aired an animated animation purporting to show how a Poseidon torpedo might "submerge the United Kingdom in the ocean." Dmitry Kiselyov, a prominent Kremlin propagandist, stated on his Sunday evening prime-time show that the weapon might be deployed to convert Britain into a wasteland by flooding it with a 500-meter radioactive saltwater tsunami.
In reaction to Britain's plan to send 14 Challenger II tanks to Ukraine, another Putin loyalist, retired general Andrey Gurulev, stated that the country should be "wiped off the face of the Earth."
