One of Russia's nuclear-powered submarines, named Belgorod, has reportedly vanished from its Arctic harbor, and Western countries fear it could be gearing up to test its advanced weapons systems.
Belgorod is believed to be armed with"Poseidon" nuclear torpedoes that supposedly have the ability to traverse hundreds of miles underwater and induce"nuclear tsunamis" near coastal regions, Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported.
“This nuclear ‘mega torpedo’ is unique in the history of the world,” submarine expert H.I. Sutton explained on his website Covert Shores. “Poseidon is a completely new category of weapon. It will reshape naval planning in both Russia and the West, leading to new requirements and new counter-weapons.”
Formally known as the K-329 Belgorod, the submarine has been described as"the epitome of a new concept of warfare." Last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin sent much of the West into a frenzy when he vowed to defend the"territorial integrity of our Motherland" by"all the means at our disposal" — remarks that were widely interpreted as a nuclear threat.
