Beijing, August 16, 2025 – China is preparing to exhibit a new and gigantic underwater vehicle (UUV) to the public during the upcoming military parade.
The images published in Weibo show that a very large drone in the form of torpedo is transported on a platform and confirms the physical presence of the system.
So far, the Chinese officials have not officially named the project and have not explained the technical details, but experts have already compared the concept to Russian Poseidon, also known as Status-6. This long -range nuclear torpedo was introduced by Vladimir Putin in 2019 within the scope of “Super Weapons”.
POSSIBLE RELIGION AND HEALTHS
According to South China Morning Post, Beijing is doing research on disposable nuclear -driven underwater systems. These systems can quickly travel up to 200 hours over 30 knots (about 55 km/h). After this period, the reactor will be left to the sea base and the vehicle will probably continue to work with batteries for conventional attacks.
Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether the new Chinese UUV will carry a nuclear or conventional hood or whether it will serve as a surveillance and strategic deterrence platform.
Comparisons and mystery
While the Russian Poseidon is designed to travel thousands of kilometers and hit the coastal targets with nuclear war titles, it is unclear whether Beijing aims to copy this capacity or develop a underwater weapon in a different class.
Nuclear Scientist Guo Jian of the Chinese Atomic Energy Institute said that there were “significant differences between the Chinese project and Poseidon in a scientific article, but he did not share additional details.
The vehicles seen in preparations for the parade and some are defined as AJX002 show that China is moving towards the production of large -scale unmanned -water vehicles (XLUUV). But without official information, the real task of this new weapon remains mystery.
