Both Russia and the US have asserted that Poseidon torpedoes represent a new category of retaliatory weapon capable of generating radioactive tsunamis and rendering entire coastlines uninhabitable.
Putin addressed a gathering of soldiers injured in the conflict against Ukraine, stating that the test launch took place on Tuesday.
He remarked: “For the first time, we successfully launched it using a launch engine from a carrier submarine, and we also activated the nuclear power unit, which allowed this device to operate for a certain duration.”
“This is a significant achievement.”
He further noted that the power of the Poseidon exceeds that of Russia’s Sarmat intercontinental missile.
This latest test follows another successful launch on October 21, when Russia's nuclear-capable Burevestnik was tested.
Trump expressed outrage over these provocative actions, cautioning that the US has a nuclear submarine positioned just off the coast of Russia.
