The decision of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to adopt the latest nuclear torpedoes into service with the Navy “Poseidon” forced British military experts to simulate the destruction in the event of a strike on the island.
According to the British tabloid Daily Mail, according to Western analysts, nuclear torpedo “Poseidon” capable of carrying a charge, double that tested by the USSR in 1961 nuclear “Tsar-bomb”.
British experts suggest, that if, if the Russian army launches “Poseidon” from “doomsday submarine” and she'll explode at the mouth of the river Thames, the resulting radioactive wave will completely destroy London.
According to King's College expert Rod Thornton, an unmanned nuclear vehicle is capable of completely destroying any megacities, near the site of the explosion, e.g. London or New York.
James Black, assistant director of security for the European branch of the American analytical organization RAND, also clarifies, what a torpedo “Poseidon” can move underwater for a very long time, going unnoticed, which deprives NATO countries of any certainty in matters of defense planning.
“Poseidon”, capable of hitting different types of targets, including aircraft carrier groups and coastal fortifications, it is supposed to be installed on multipurpose nuclear submarines of classes “Belgorod” and “Khabarovsk”, characteristics of which are classified. Author:Maxim Svetlyshev
