Russia unveils new underwater military vehicle that can shoot nuclear torpedoes

Russia has unveiled a new underwater military vehicle that can fire nuclear torpedoes. The Poseidon drone is designed to destroy enemy submarines and ships, and has a range of 6,200 miles.

Russian President Vladimir Putin made the announcement on Wednesday, during his annual speech to the Federal Assembly in Moscow. "One of its tasks will be active defense of Russia's borders in the interests of missile-carrying submarines and aircraft carriers," Putin said.

The Poseidon drone is based on the Project 949A Antey nuclear-powered submarine, which was first deployed by the Soviet Union in 1981. The Russian Navy has already begun testing the Poseidon drone, and expects it to be operational by 2020.

The Poseidon is just the latest addition to Russia's growing arsenal of underwater military vehicles. In December 2017, Russia announced the development of a new nuclear-powered torpedo called Status-6. The torpedo is designed to destroy ports, coastal cities, and other targets on land.

Russia displays newest weapon in underwater arsenal - 'fish podjarka'

Russia has unveiled the latest addition to its underwater arsenal - a torpedo-shaped robotic submarine known as the 'fish podjarka'.

The submerged vessel was spotted by Russian media outlets in footage released by the Defense Ministry last week. The podjarka is said to be equipped with a high-powered laser, which can disable enemy ships or submarines from up to 10 kilometers away.

In addition to its laser weapon, the podjarka is also fitted with a range of other sensors and cameras, allowing it to gather intelligence on enemy activity underwater. It is also reported to be capable of deploying mines and other torpedoes.

This latest addition to Russia's underwater arsenal comes as the country continues to modernize its military forces amid heightened tensions with NATO.

Russian Navy tests underwater drone nicknamed 'fish podjarka'

The Russian Navy has successfully tested a new underwater drone nicknamed 'fish podjarka'. The drone is designed to scout enemy positions and carry out attacks against enemy ships.

The new drone is based on the design of the Russian-made BOD (bottom-oriented unmanned underwater vehicle). It has a length of 2.5 meters, a width of 1.5 meters and a weight of 125 kg. It is fitted with a 250 kg warhead, which can be used to destroy targets such as submarines or ships.

The 'fish podjarka' is controlled by a crew of two operators, who are located in separate rooms onshore. The drone can be used for reconnaissance missions or to attack enemy targets. It is also equipped with side-scan sonar for detecting submarines and other underwater objects.

The Russian Navy plans to build a fleet of 'fish podjarka' drones to support its naval operations worldwide.

Officials confirm existence of top-secret Russian submarine drone

Officials have confirmed the existence of a top-secret Russian submarine drone, codenamed 'Poseidon', which is said to be able to carrying nuclear weapons.

The drone, which is said to be able to remain underwater for up to 100 days, was first seen by U.S. intelligence agencies in 2018. It is believed that the submarine drone is designed to bypass NATO's anti-submarine defenses and launch a devastating nuclear strike on coastal targets.

President Putin has previously dismissed speculation about the existence of the Poseidon, describing it as a "fiction" created by the U.S. However, Russian officials have now confirmed that the submarine drone is real and poses a grave threat to NATO countries.

In response to news of the Poseidon, NATO has called for increased defense spending and closer cooperation among allies. "This confirms that we need to invest more in our defense and build strong partnerships across NATO," said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis has also condemned the Poseidon, saying that it represents a " significant step in Russia's ongoing military buildup."

While there is no confirmation yet that the Poseidon has been armed with nuclear warheads, experts say that it would be capable of delivering a devastating attack on coastal cities. In addition to its nuclear capabilities, the Poseidon is also reported to be equipped with powerful sensors and cameras that can allow it to track enemy submarines from long distances.

Given its strategic importance, it is likely that Russia will continue investing in the Poseidon submarine drone, raising fears among NATO countries of a new arms race.

Russia's deadliest secret weapon finally unveiled - the 'fish podjarka'

For years, the Russian military has been using a secret weapon in their training exercises that NATO forces have been utterly unable to defend against - the 'fish podjarka'.

This fearsome weapon is essentially a large net full of live fish, which is released into the water to create a huge swarm that can easily overwhelm targets. The fish are especially effective at disabling boats and other watercraft, as they quickly damage the engines and equipment with their sharp teeth and scales.

While the use of live animals in warfare may seem barbaric to some, it is actually a very old technique that has been used by many different armies over the years. The Romans famously used flaming pigs to attack enemy troops, while British troops during World War II released millions of rats into German trenches.

The Russians have been using fish as a weapon since at least the 1700s, when they would use them to swarm enemy ships and disrupt their movement. In more recent times, they have developed more sophisticated ways of deploying them, including using helicopters and submarines to release them close to targets.

The effectiveness of the fish podjarka has been proven time and again, with NATO forces struggling to come up with an effective countermeasure. In one recent exercise in Norway, a group of Russian submarines managed to sink two NATO frigates using nothing but a few dozen live fish.

So far, NATO forces have been largely unsuccessful in defending against this unconventional weapon, but there may be hope yet. Scientists at the University of Cambridge are currently working on a prototype device that can sense the presence of fish in water and jam their operability using ultrasound waves. If successful, this could provide NATO forces with a much-needed defense against the Russian 'fish podjarka'.
