Russia’s Mysterious New Nuclear Torpedo: What We Know | WSJ Equipped
Russia is developing an autonomous nuclear torpedo called the Poseidon that Russian President Vladimir Putin says can evade all existing defenses. Experts say if it works, it would give Moscow a new way to target NATO countries and military bases. The torpedo will be equipped on submarines but what happens after it is launched is debated.
WSJ explains why Poseidon has been shrouded in mystery and misinformation, how the nuclear torpedo could work and why Russia wants it.

There is a difference between Russian propaganda and the West propaganda. Western propaganda is more like an advertising. Just like Abrams tank is the best, or HIMARS is accurate. Russian propaganda is a mixture of silence, self depreciating, truth or consequence, and what they have already accomplished. You have to read their lips and find out if it is a threat or a promise. They are full of riddles. Just saying.

Russia possesses one of the largest nuclear arsenals in the world, with a diverse array of delivery systems, including intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and strategic bombers.

Russia conducts military conflicts only on its border, aimed at protecting Russia's security. Russia has never attacked remote countries. Russia has never used nuclear weapons. At the same time, the United States is fighting a huge number of military conflicts far from its borders due to its strength and resources. The United States has killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in remote corners of the world. It was the United States that used nuclear weapons twice, but not for military purposes, but intentionally against the civilian population. It is unlikely that Russia will strike first. It doesn't make any sense. but the US aggression is quite obvious

I think Poseidon is a real weapon and it is almost certainly functional. A nuclear-powered torpedo with a conventional warhead or a nuclear one is feasible. Moreover, this is a defensive weapon. Russia's nuclear doctrine only allows the usage of nuclear weapons if the U.S. strikes first or if the existence of the Russian state is at stake. The United States' nuclear doctrine does, however, include the right to strike first... So, which country is the most dangerous ? Certainly not Russia as their nuclear weapons are strictly defensive weapons and can only be used in response.

6,000 + nuclear warheads = first class nuclear power without first strike torpedo.
It's worse than the "tsunami effect." Take a look at the Bikini Atoll "Test Baker" July 25, 1946 involving the German cruiser Prince Eugen moored 1100m from the nuclear blast. Small compared to the newer Poseidon torpedo blast. Check the huge battleship dwarfed by the large underwater blast wave, presumably around 200m tall. Pics available anywhere on the internet.

Don’t be so glib! These are the facts: Russia is one of only 9 countries in the world that currently possess nuclear weapons. Of these, only FOUR possess a full nuclear triad, Russia being one of them. Russia also still has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, although it has been aging. There are only 4 countries in the world that have voluntarily given up their nuclear weapons: South Africa, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. The latter three did so reluctantly, under pressure from the Western powers, who were concerned about the possibility of their nuclear weapons falling into the wrong hands. The issue is NOT the sanity of the their use, but the sanity of the people who ultimately decide about these things in Russia. It’s always possible for a leader to make an irrational decision.

The interesting thing is that such a weapon, usable only near coasts,would create a radioactive tsunami. The detonation is after all, underwater. A 10 km (10,000 m) wave is very unlikely; but you can get quite a few things (cities and their contents) damp, and radioactive to some extent, with a wave 'only' 500 m high.

You're right. Russia got into the situation in which it is currently mired in Ukraine because it underestimated the Ukrainians. Of course, because of that, we learned an important lesson: that we had been overestimating Putin for the past decade. Copentent generals throughout the ages - going at least as far back and probably much further than Sun Tzu - knew that you don't want to underestimate *or* overestimate your opponents. Over a century and a half ago, McClellan failed largely because he overestimated his adversary. It's important to weigh all the evidence and be mindful of the fog of war. As was said, maybe 100 years ago seems to still be true today: "Russia is never as strong or as weak as it appears."

Tsar bomb was significantly smaller and had 50mt yield (granted it didn’t have a nuclear reactor in it) but the torpedo is like 70 ft long 7 ft wide and the Tsar bomb was 23ft long. I doubt their nuclear R&D program regressed. It’s more than likely a variable yield like most modern nukes are, the lowest yield could be 2 mt but it’s max yield could be higher than anyone has ever witnessed. Which if it ever did pop off the US coast at max yield without warning, it will lead to the biggest geopolitical shift the world has ever seen.

However, theoretical tracking can face challenges, such as distinguishing between the signal from gradient markers and the noise of currents and eddies. In calm conditions, a passive Russian sonar system might detect an American submarine within 1-5 kilometers. The US Navy has made its submarines more visible in recent years, including visits to North Atlantic ports. The UK's Royal Navy has also tracked the movements of Russian submarines into the North Sea. and Why do you have to insult them in their comments?
