Russian dictator Vladimir Putin announced this Wednesday (29) a successful test of the unmanned atomic submarine Poseidon, just over a week after a test with a nuclear-powered cruise missile, the Burevestnik.
He made the announcement during a meeting with soldiers injured in the war in Ukraine, broadcast on state television. The Kremlin leader highlighted that the Poseidon’s power “significantly surpasses” that of the Sarmat intercontinental missile, capable of carrying 10 to 15 individually guided nuclear warheads, and which will soon enter service with the nuclear forces.
“Furthermore, due to the speed and depth at which this device navigates, it has no analogues in the world and is unlikely to have any in the near future”, claimed the dictator in his most recent war propaganda.
The test of the unmanned atomic submarine followed that carried out on the 21st of the Burevestnik cruise missile, also nuclear-powered, which according to Putin has an “unlimited range”.
Recently, United States President Donald Trump asked Putin to stop testing missiles and end the war in Ukraine once and for all, two requests that were ignored by the Russian.
The Kremlin defended the new weapons tests this Wednesday (29) in the face of what it considers a “militarist hysteria” in Europe.
“If the threat emanating from Europe did not exist, then, of course, additional defense measures would not be necessary,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told local media.
Peskov, who also defended the deployment of Oreshnik hypersonic missiles in Belarus, ruled out that this “militarist hysteria” and “Russophobic” moods on the continent will disappear “in the short term”.
