@Ben Ghazi Oddly, yes. Outside the American (and British) anti-Russia hysteria bubble Russian diplomats are respected as highly skilled professionals. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is considered one of the, if not THE best diplomat in the world. In 2017 when the UN ambassador Churkin died both the UK and (former) US ambassadors (Samantha Power of the Obama admin.) to the UN called it a devastating loss. Few years ago when this hysteria was new (2017 maybe?) I saw a clip, from CNN I think. They asked two governors, one R one D, if the Russian ambassador asked for a meeting would they agree to it? Both said yes, visibly shocked by the stupidity of the question. It was funny. Last year when "that evil dictator" president Putin visited the Vatican? The trip from the airport that normally takes 20-30 minutes for diplomatic convoys took almost 2 hours, as the Italian PM insisted showing Putin around in Rome. And massive crowds were everywhere, welcoming the Russian president. We were even joking with workmates "now's the time to visit Rome, the entire place is cleaned up and shiny with Putin visiting".
Yeah. It is a strategic deterrent.Frankly it's main job is to signal USA "don't think we are just sitting around maintaining Soviet ICBMs. We are developing new systems." To signal maintained and developed strength to deter USA (or also China) from thinking they having developed counter to the soviet era stuff means the balance has changed. If It actually works it is deployed so similarly to boomer subs. Soviet strategic sub on patrol in protected position waiting around. I think this might actually in the end be a loitering second strike like bomber. You send it out from the sub, when things are getting really hairy. Then just say "perimeter and Poseidon have been activated think twice. Lets talk." Poseidon looters in international waters outside territory regularly checking whether it has received one of three order: a)execute one of the predetermined attack scenarios (nuclear war has started) b) come home (deterrent has worked, crisis avoided, return to pre designated evacuation point where Russian navy asset will pick up the torpedo for refurbisment and redeployment. These are most likely VERY expensive assets and you don't want to leave it out to be found anyway for intelligence reasons. c) self destruct. (Poseidon is compromised and about to fall in enemy hands or otherwise unrecoverable). Most likely go to as deep as possible in ocean and do non nuclear or diminished nuclear detonation to prevent hostile recovery of the tech. It will need at minimum one-way com link most likely at minimum optional two way. The time it takes for this to swim to target the situation might have changed. So it will need short/ attack confirmation capability closer to target. Unless it is a pure spite weapon...... 3 days after USA nuked Moscow...... nuclear torpedo sent as last act of spite by Russian forces finally arrives at New York harbor and blows it up. It never has had the ability to be aborted. Once sent it will relentlessly swim to target or gets destroyed trying. It has no tactical or even strategic use as warfare item due to how long it takes to reach target. By the time it arrives (if sent from bastion position strategic sub) the war is already over. ICBMs have done the main war already in 30-60 minutes. Meaning it is last big middle finger of already non existent nation. Aka it service to nation is purely as strategic deterrent. If it ever is actually launched Russian Federation has ceased to exist by the time it detonated.

The bomb carried by Poseidon could be salted or otherwise built to be very "dirty" or generate much greater nuclear fallout than normal nuclear weapons. The fireball of a 100 megaton nuclear blast would reach into space, and the radioactive dust will swiftly cover the globe.

@Ben Ghazi did u miss the point where i just said the USSR had the blueprints? literally, i just said that, nothing else, i was just stating a fact, damm, chill
Man, imagine being tasked to intercept such a torpedo, knowing that you can only detect it when you're practically right by its side. Then you have to shoot it. I'd rather be a Kamikaze pilot.
thing is, with the nuclear REACTOR onboard and being a subsurface detonation, it would be incredibly "dirty" anyway :( see the Baker bomb test Bikini Atoll, 1946
@@silverbladeTE and the fact it contains a 100 megaton warhead. The tsar bomba was surprisingly clean as nearly 95% of it's yield was through fusion. People call it a 3 stage but it was a very large 2 stage bomb in reality. Let's say you put the 3 stage warhead on this weapon. That much fission energy isn't gonna be clean at all. You might as well salt it with cobalt. Lmao
@@justinbiggs1005 correct, it would be awful for fallout to put it mildly if the third stage had been in the Tsar Bomba :( hence, Sakharov replaced it with inert lead we're talking several TONS of U-238, ack! but, the cobalt's fallout will tend to produce a much longer duration of lethality than the fission products and that's the real issue, even if it reduces bomb's energy (damage) output by maybe a third Fallout potency (short term) vs duration most of the intense fission products from the enormous third stage will be gone in a couple of months, but the output will be hellish and also induce secondary radiation of harmful output in heavy concentrations but the cobalt 60 will be lethal for several decades but at lower energy output so staying in the *large* affected area of a Cobalt bomb is a massive health risk for about 15 years at least afterwards and takes a century or more to be safe
I think Poseidon has one distinct feature separating it from other nuclear attacks: Until it hits, you don't know it is coming. (If it is successful.) That makes atomic first strikes stronger and therefore increases the chance for an all out nuclear war
also there is no practical defense. with traditional missiles you have a chance to shoot them down. Even if they hit a city the entire city will probably not be destroyed, just a big chunk of it. with this its going to devastate huge parts of the coastline for miles around and whatever city was targeted is deleted from the map including everyone who lived there. number of survivors effectively zero and no bomb shelter ever made will save you.
Why should a doomsday weapon be a fast torpedo? Much more usefull would be a silent, slow electric torpedo powered by a nuclear thermal generator (RTG) running at about 5 knots or slower als a weapon of last resort. It could rest encapsulated on the ocean floor and be activated by a system like "perymetr" a.k.a. "Dead Hand" - which is not (I repeat not!) totally automated.
To expand on this idea, if you treat it less like a torpedo and more like a drone, you could deploy them at any time and just leave them off various coasts, ready to be remote detonated.
@@neeneko exactly. A doomsday drone. For eradicating naval task forces, the russians got another weapon, the supercavitating "skvahl" torpedo, which is brought near the target by a silent ssn and fired into the enemy naval groups direction with an unparralleled speed and detonating a very big nuclear warhead in the carrier task force ensuring that the carrier will be taken down. By the way, with very big warhead I dont mean a zar bomb doomsday warhead like for a doomsday revenge weapon, but a thermonuclear warhead with a yield about 500kt to 1mt.
@@neeneko On the subject of pre stationing those weapons near your targets, I assume, that would be a too great risk. Remember, this is a weapon of last resort, for second strike. So, this weapon has to be under strict control, which is only possible, when you station it undersea near your own territory with a subsea cable or other means of very secure communication to be activated when nuclear war is already going on. The russians fear greatly the abm system not for an ability to stop a first strike. That is way outside of the capabilities of any abm system in the foreseeable future. What the russians fear is a limited counter force strike against their land based systems with stealth cruise missiles and fast, low trajectory ssbn missiles and the ability of an abm system to counter their then greatly reduced second strike weapons. Remember, just because the russians are not always friendly to the west, it doesnt mean there isnt any rationality behind their thinking.
That's a very interesting idea and I thought of the same thing. Since the torpedo is so big, I thought, why does it need a submarine to fire it? It's already nuclear powered, can't it reach it's destination on it's own? But then I also think the issue with your idea is that they could be recovered and studied by the Americans, if they manage to find it somehow, which would of course be difficult.
Well the Tsar Bomba was tested at 50% it's payload so it's likely they just rebuilt Tsar Bomba without cutting half its payload and put it in a nuclear submarine-missile thingy
You can deploy them by freight ships and larger fishing boats. Or start them in a port. Unlimited range, remember? They sneak in slowly over months and years at gold fish speed. And then sprint up to 100km/h for the final sprint.

I can't remember who said this but being a winner in a nuclear arms race is like having more matches than the other guy when both are standing waste deep in gasoline.
Good words. Sadly, in USA in power strange people which looks like not understand this. Let’s remember what said Obama just several years ago: “Russia is isolated, with its economy in tatters”. Facepalm. This year Russian economic became 5th in world, it was 6th when Obama said own words, country also became richer. It is example that political establishment living in some parallel universe with very strange views, actually myths. You know, it is like with this hypersonic missile. Immediately it was declared impossibly, just because “russian can’t”. They said it about country which before invented first supersonic cruise missile, first supersonic passenger plane, fastest torpedo in world, all that space stuff, etc. Or I just today saw how on American TV they tried to laugh over Russia vaccine against covid. Jokes like “they already invent new vaccine against own previous vaccine”, or “vaccine were approved by all 5 russian doctors”. It is joke over research institute which was founded in 19 century, which founded modern immunology as science, which created world-wide program regard to which was defeated smallpox in 20 century, which invented one out two vaccines against ebola, which produce whole bunch of vaccine against misc rare viruses in African and this vaccines uniques, nobody else in whole world have them. What is it? Incompetent estimations of enemy. Total degradation like in really good American movie “Idiocracy”? So, I doubt they not understand what you said. And they (political regime) can try to attack. Moreover, just watch at all this powerful propaganda of latests years, even when something was debunked with 100% proofs, media still repeat lie. It can’t be just because journalists are stupid or something like that, it is strategy. They move forces already of border. Only mad can’t understand, that actually it is already over red lines. It is provocation on preemptive strike (and some russian leaders openly called to that: “let’s do not repeat mistake of 1941, let’s attack first”). It is literally dangerous. So, it all looks like preparation to war. Moreover, this demonstration of weapons which Putin did, it is so strange and untypical.. Russia almost never demonstrated new weapons, never demonstrated what is in development like now. It looks like some attempt “to scary enemy”. Why? Because war is close?
I have seen studies that show the wave that detonation would generate would reach almost 30 miles inland and in some flatter areas over 200. If detonated off the coast of Florida it would cover the entire state up to Tennessee. That’s friggin nuts
There have been actual studies done to calculate the effects of such a 100 MT tsunami bomb? Do you know where I can find the results from that/those studies?
Maybe someone on the US side needs to understand Russia's paranoia and why it is perfectly legitimate. The words "never again" have very special meaning to some people. Russia was invaded three times in one century including the Great Patriotic War, which cost Soviet Russia twenty six million lives. Having the largest nuclear arsenal in the world is how Russia says "never again."
Putin doesn't seem to concerned about house human losses in Ukraine. The history thing paranoid thing is just smoke and mirrors. It's all Putin not what Russia as a nation will do, In Russia all power and wealth comes from the president so he has lots of hangerons.😊
I'd love to see a video like that as well, but let's be honest here. Simply put, there's no viable defense against those, otherwise I'm sure he would've made one by now. Hitting even ballistic missiles is incredibly difficult. People like to describe it as trying to hit a bullet with a bullet, but in fact, it's much harder than that, because ballistic missiles are much, much faster than bullets. Especially ICBMs. And now, imagine having the ability to deploy weapons which are as fast as ballistic missiles, and yet have the capability of maneuvering, while flying at hypersonic speed. In short, your "bullet" can just evade my "bullet" if I get close to hitting it. It literally nullifies the entire concept of ABM defenses and it would require a whole new system. Let's call it AHM (anti-hypersonic missile) defense system. People also often say that DEW (directed energy weapons) might actually be useful against these things, and yet, HGVs and HCM (hypersonic cruise missiles) are already able to withstand extreme heat. So, if Avangard can survive a temperature of around 2000 degrees Celsius while flying, then how does a laser weapon help in that case? It would take quite a lot of time for a laser to cook Avangard. Provided it has an extreme energy supply to generate that much heat. And it's precisely time that you don't have, since this thing can fly at up to 9.3 km per second. Plus, you'd have so much trouble detecting it, since the moment it separates from an ICBM, it dives down into the atmosphere, nullifying the ability of US space-based tracking systems of being able to see it, since it would technically never reach the LEO (low Earth orbit) or even VLeO (very low Earth orbit). So, it flies too low for you to be able to track it from space, but also too high to be able to (accurately) track it from the ground. But lets assume, just for the heck of it, that you actually can track it. Now what? How do you shoot it down? The GMD (ground-based midcourse defense) system is useless here, since it's designed to kill ballistic missiles in their midcourse phase, when they can't maneuver. Avangard can basically supermaneuver at any stage of flight. So there goes the GMD. Now you're left with THAAD. THAAD has missiles which are more maneuverable than the GMD, but they also have a much shorter range. Shorter range means much less time to react, which again is a really bad thing if you're facing a thing that fast. Again, HGVs are basically ahead of even DEWs in terms of high-tech and have much better applications. Especially in terms of long-range. DEWs, as the name implies, can basically only go straight. You can't really bend a laser, which severely reduces the range of DEWs, due to the curvature of the Earth (take that flat-earthers 😂). BOOM! Hypersonics win again.
Драгољуб Боснић the only serious option for now against hypersonic missiles might be nuclear warheads exploding sufficiently near it to destroy the glider.
The thing with such 'counter systems'. Including Anti-missle and anti air ones. Is that you want your adversary to think they are less capable, than they really are. Or he can easily create counter-counter measures or make more of them. And designing something fast to avid getting hit, is always easier than designing something to hit something fast.
Status 6 (and sister clone models) has an AI it really doesn't need a submarine to carry it. It could probably be just placed in the water and told where to go and wait. It can go as deep as the ocean floor since it has no need for life support or air pockets. We all focus on the launch of the sub while ignoring has anything else slid into the water that week. It can probably crawl super quiet at really slow speeds. Taking a week or 3 to crawl on the ocean bottom from the Baltic or North Sea to the mud just outside Atlanta or the dock for the Staten Island Ferry would not be important to the AI directing the movements. Poseiden is not really a torpedo, it is instead an unmanned self directing, mobile, super stealthy, nuclear sea mine. Once in place it can sit in the mud for decades waiting for an instruction to detonate, or let a timer decide. In that role it has no need of a sonar system.lOnce on site it probably has sensors and enough intellect to detect any sign of an effort to tamper or disarm it, and it would probably immediately detonate upon noticing such an attempt.
Really appreciate this fact based video. I saw many others about this torpedo spreading wrong informations/panic, talking about 200MT power and taking rumors like worst nuclear fallout ever being engineered on purpose, as approved fact. (cough, Real Life-Lore, cough, cough,..) While they can have up to 100MT det. power, smaller versions, which are probably more common, start at 10MT, meant for targets like naval bases. I see this torpedo as a new generation of overpriced, oversized scarecrows, like the 100MT tsar bomba once was. Great video.

Why is it scary? Although some people think that it is, it does not appear to be designed as a "doomsday" weapon. From my perspective, it is in fact a defensive device, designed to neutralize US carrier strike groups, that may try to play war in Russia's backyard. So long as the US leaves the Russian Federation alone, then there is likely no threat at all. When Putin first announced the device publicly, a high ranking US military official publicly made a statement claiming that it was not really an important weapon, and that it did not change the strategic balance of power, since Russia already had the ability to nuke and devastate any US city, regardless if it was on the coast or not. The US military official that made the statement was correct to claim Russia could nuke any US city, but what he failed to mention to the US public, is that it did change the balance of power, in terms of the US's ability to "project power" across the globe, during a time of open warfare, with Russia. If the US decides to engage Russia in open warfare, such that the US Navy becomes a genuine threat to the Russian Federation, then Russia may use one or more Poseidon devices to sink any US aircraft carrier group(s) that are placed by the US within striking range of the Russian motherland. Poseidon is thus a defensive device. Using it against legitimate military targets like a US aircraft carrier strike group operating in range of launching an attack on Russian territory, would presumably not justify a US nuclear retaliatory response against a civilian population center within Russia. Using a Poseidon device against a US coastal city (which would be mostly a civilian target), could potentially justify US nuclear retaliatory strike against a Russian civilian population center, which is presumably not something that they want, and is presumably something that they would actively try to avoid. Consequently, US coastal cities are probably quite safe from Poseidon. It would appear that Poseidon is primarily a defensive device, designed to protect the Russian Federation from US Navy surface ships that may try to threaten Russia. Ships that are sitting harmlessly in a continental US port city, would not likely be targeted by a Poseidon device (unless for some reason full scale nuclear escalation occurred, whereby US civilian population centers started becoming targets). It should be noted, that US aircraft carriers (and their associated escort ships in the strike group) are far too expensive. The loss of a single US aircraft carrier strike group would instantly render the entire US surface navy effectively obsolete, since it would prove that they are basically defenseless and overpriced sitting ducks to Russian weapons. Consequently, it would no longer be safe for any US aircraft carrier to operate anymore, in any waters anywhere near Russian territory. The US Navy would really only be safe sitting at home ports located in the continental US, whereby it would not be in range of launching attacks against Russian territory. The sensible thing for the US, is to end the war in Ukraine by pursuing peace, and to leave Russia alone. Russia has demonstrated tremendous restraint in the war in Ukraine thus far. Russia could have targeted and eliminated Zelensky early on, and/or, they could have started using nuclear weapons. However, they have not, even though the war has already been ongoing for a year and a half so far. If Russia was actually being run by "crazy madmen" like the US and other western media claims, then nuclear weapons would have already been used long ago, in the Ukraine conflict. However, since they have not, it is clear that Russia is in fact being run by those who do in fact know restraint, are not suicidal, and are acting quite rational. If you do have access to very powerful weapons, and you are at war with someone, it takes restraint not to start using them. Official Russian nuclear doctrine basically says that they are not to use nuclear weapons as a first strike option, unless their homeland is being actively threatened. However, Zelensky (likely with the help of Biden) has made more than one attempt to assassinate Putin in the past, and Biden has spoken publicly about "regime change" in Russia. Consequently, the Russian homeland is in fact under threat, and Russia is therefore "allowed" to use nuclear weapons, based on their own nuclear doctrine. However, since they have not done so thus far, they are exercising restraint, considerably more so I would argue, than the US and NATO forces. The US and NATO have adopted a policy of continuous escalation to increasingly powerful and longer range weapons, whereby they have begun actively attacking sites within the Russian territory (and not just Crimea). The US and NATO nations are playing with fire. Russian restraint may not be unlimited. The proper course of action is to pursue peace, and to stop the war insanity, even if this may mean making some compromises that may offend one's own ideals. Peace is definitely preferable to trying to survive in an irradiated post apocalyptic nuclear wasteland.

It’s fascinating how in this period of time we have FREE access to this level of military information over the internet, the likes of which was unfathomable a decade ago... it would be interesting to know what the great powers of the world think of this.
The main answer is to improve all US nuclear weapons capabilities and cite this weapon as one reason for doing so. The PLA is also greatly expanding nuclear weapons capabilities already.
Ilimited range - that means you don't need any type of vessel to carry it around. You just launch it and send it super slow to the designated target and keep it there sleeping
This is some scary stuff. If that torpedo has an essentially unlimited power source then it wouldn’t even need to move fast. It could be maneuvered slowly into position then just sit near its target on the seabed and then moved that last little bit close enough to its target and detonated at a later date. Imagine if these countries stopped fighting and wasting so much money on killing technology and used it to help the world instead.
I wouldn’t worry about it. Putin wants resources and economic control. By irradiating the East or West Coast, he loses that possibility and Russia has a very damaged economy. He’d likely invade by conventional means if anything. However, since the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia’s track record with quelling and invading hasn’t been exactly been too successful
The use case described makes no sense in terms of how this weapon can be used. This topredo can probably throttle down its reactor to really low power and move into positon very slowly and very quietly and then just wait for a few decades. When it gets the orders if goes to full power and move at high speeds giving little time to react. With no people to deal with and the fact it doesnt need to get where its going fast it can probably be an order of magnitute quieter than a conventional nuclear sub. I wouldnt be surprised if this thing can park 1mile from a naval base without anyone detecting it.
A "few decades" is too long to leave a live nuclear weapon at sea and expect it to work. Not only is there the risk of an accident as there are no humans able to inspect and maintain it, but more realistically something would fail after probably just a few months.
The real factor is that if a 50 megaton bomb can destroy buildings at 1k kilometers, imagine a 100 megaton one in the ocean so even if it goes fast, it can be hundreds of kilometers from a base and simply destroy a region
Anything that humans have ever built can fail, especially after sitting decades under salt water. I would not be surprised if the Russian torpedo actually blows up some port in Russia while they try to program it.
Most of the Cold War weapons systems are old and falling apart in both countries. The US ICBM fleet received funding to modernize, but only after a big made-for-TV fight about it during the last administration. Sanction-strapped Russia is looking for new ways to fight on the cheap. Problem is, all this wiz-bang shit has to work, and it has to work better than Russian cruise missiles...

So guys, you are misunderstanding the way that nuclear power can be used here, you guys are looking at this from a standpoint of typical steam generating turbine feeding reactor - which for torpedo design is simply unnecessary. First, since you are surrounded by very cold water you can create a very efficient RTG generator driven purely on decay heat or a sterling engine based electricity generator, again driven by decay heat. A RTG based torpedo, since it's power generator has no moving parts, can sit on the sea bed for years without making a noise, then just lift up and attack the target.

Yes it's possible to stop it. There is a small thermal exhaust port right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the main reactor. It's small and a direct hit is necessary but I've bullseyed whomp rats in my T16 back home that aren't much bigger 🤷♀️
Posidon rocket was first developed by Dmitry Sacharov, brilliant physcist, but he got NobelPrise not for physics, but Piece prize. He also developed Hydrogen bomb among his inventions. The idea for the Posidon was to get to destination and lay there for many years, before being active. With the engines switched off. It might be couple of them are in service already.
When Putin took power he proposed cooperation and friendship on the base of Russia’s independence, but the US started surrounding Russia with its nuclear missiles, hostile countries and choking it with sanctions in order to bring it to submission. And now we have the result of this nearsighted policy. Americans have to learn how to respect others until it is too late.

funny how the 100 MT claim comes from western defense analysts that have never actually been close to the actual weapon. the Russians maintain it will be armed with a 2MT warhead. and the design which was leaked a couple of years ago and turned out to be correct shows the warhead size as being 1,5 meters diameter by 4 meter length. this is a 7 cubic meter warhead. which is smaller then the tsar bomba warhead at 2.1 meter diameter and 8 meter length, and therefore a 100MT yield or even a 50MT one is unlikely for the Status 6. 10-20 megatons is more in the range of possibility. and even then the 2MT warhead the Russians say it is, is also likely considering its mission, which is not to create tsunamis or attack coastal cities. the weapon is actually designed to blow up an entire carrier group with 1 weapon. or an entire naval port or dry docks. the tsunamis, and attacking coastal cities claims is the basic western fear mongering those abilities have never been claimed by Russian officials or the manufacturer of the weapon, don't forget this weapon was designed in the first place as a response to the US's unilateral withdrawal from the ABM treaty in 2002. all the weapons Putin announced in the 2018 speech were designed as a response, they are all weapons designed to circumvent ABM systems. which is exactly the ability Russia said it would develop when the USA pulled out from the ABM treaty. and you can claim a full scale ABM umbrella was never emplaced. that would simply be false. SM-3 carrying ships patrol around Russia all the time. the Aegis ashore installations in Poland and Romania could hit a decent portion Russian ICBM's fired from static silos in their ascend phase. next to that the US has been lying about Aegis ashore inability to fire tomahawk cruise missiles. because there have been talks with japan on giving the planned (now scrapped) Aegis ashore facilities that "software" when the Russians said the ones in eastern Europe only needed a software upgrade to fire tomahawks, they were laughed at and assured this was not the case. assured without any evidence to proof this was the case. at that time a clear violation of the INF treaty. i would say Russia's response to being encircled with ABM systems is proportionate and reasonable. exactly what they said they would do if the US kept breaking down the treaties that in their view maintained the balance of strategic force. "if you burn your ass, you have to sit on the blisters" is what they call that i believe.
If we were to do the sensible thing, and try to make cooperative arrangements with Russia on areas of common interest, it would not matter to us whether the Poseidon can be stopped or not.
Metaphorically, Hhow to prevent nuclear war: every high ranking politician in every country gets an explosive collar. If their country fires a nuke, the collar triggers.
I think a more interesting question is - does this thing actually exist as described, and does it work as described, or is it another Putin psyop? Especially considering that the launch platform submarine is still not completed, and that the Russians' recent attempt at a nuclear powered cruise missile ended in abject failure.

The T-15 project and Lira existed and worked earlier in the 60-70-80s, these are passed technologies, there is no problem to combine them and make them better. Especially in 10 years. Especially for Rosatom, which is a super corporation like a state within a state. The motto "Country - Rosatom!" Also, those projects that you mentioned are DIFFERENT projects. Such submarines were decommissioned in the mid-90s due to maintenance and cost issues. k-329 is used as a test carrier, although in truth it is enough to simply push Status-6 into the water and start the reactor, the submarine is not needed for this. Status-6 uses a liquid metal cooled reactor as a Lyra-class submarine. More than 200 times faster than a conventional reactor. Petrel uses a ramjet nuclear engine with heating of the working fluid from nuclear batteries. Again, an accident during testing does not mean the failure of the project, but only its slowdown and the loss of one of the one-off prototypes.
@@elusive6119 Putin said few years ago that he was tired of lies in the World of politics and that he will counter lies with truth, wherever the chips fall!
There's a weapon in the Navy's arsenal called the encapsulated torpedo (MK-60) The early versions of these (MK-48) were designed to detect and identify Russian nuclear subs. They have a library of sonar signatures and they can steer their way to a target from the sea floor. I'm guessing that the new stuff is a lot more sophisticated.
Salt water is heavy in conductivity. You could set up underwater modules to create a network around what you need to protect. And when it is detected these modules would send out a underwater emp pulse to disable the device. Easy. There is always an answer.
@Kashif Post WWii was different. Largely thanks to the fact Stalin was never assassinated, he left a largely militarized over expanded empire to controll for his depleted Government. See: The Great Purge.

Accurate Navigation is where this threat falls apart. It will have to surface periodically to get a GPS fix and update the navigational drift in the INS/IMU. Not to mention the need to surface anytime it needs to communicate to receive commands or transmit updates. This need for periodic surfacing greatly increases the chance of being spotted or better yet getting fished up in a net.
This thing is big enough believe 8 string of warheads along the coast. Complement of 5 10 Megaton Warheads would absolutely wipe out our Coast as far inland is 30 to 50 miles inland.
I am from Russia, this missile can lie low and wait for a long time, for months, until there is a command to attack the enemy and arrange a nuclear explosion off the coast.
Something that long can have a pretty good VLF array and can use TTE communication since it can just go down to the seabed. No issues at all letting them loiter on the seabed launched and remaining in international water they can just travel freely during peacetime and lie in wait on the ocean floor.
The reason we (and Russia) pulled out of the ABM Treaty was so we (and Russia) could generate jobs by developing technologies that were formerly banned. The likelihood of them ever actually being used is very close to zero.
As long as the states aren't striking first, you don't have anything to worry about. Same as the Russians doesn't have to worry about a first strike anymore

How do you stop it? Simple. Two words, “let’s talk”
I looked at a recent American English dictionary, and the word "diplomacy" was not in it.
@Ben Ghazi Oddly, yes. Outside the American (and British) anti-Russia hysteria bubble Russian diplomats are respected as highly skilled professionals. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is considered one of the, if not THE best diplomat in the world. In 2017 when the UN ambassador Churkin died both the UK and (former) US ambassadors (Samantha Power of the Obama admin.) to the UN called it a devastating loss.
Few years ago when this hysteria was new (2017 maybe?) I saw a clip, from CNN I think. They asked two governors, one R one D, if the Russian ambassador asked for a meeting would they agree to it? Both said yes, visibly shocked by the stupidity of the question. It was funny.
Last year when "that evil dictator" president Putin visited the Vatican? The trip from the airport that normally takes 20-30 minutes for diplomatic convoys took almost 2 hours, as the Italian PM insisted showing Putin around in Rome. And massive crowds were everywhere, welcoming the Russian president. We were even joking with workmates "now's the time to visit Rome, the entire place is cleaned up and shiny with Putin visiting".
Yeah. It is a strategic deterrent.Frankly it's main job is to signal USA "don't think we are just sitting around maintaining Soviet ICBMs. We are developing new systems." To signal maintained and developed strength to deter USA (or also China) from thinking they having developed counter to the soviet era stuff means the balance has changed.
If It actually works it is deployed so similarly to boomer subs. Soviet strategic sub on patrol in protected position waiting around. I think this might actually in the end be a loitering second strike like bomber. You send it out from the sub, when things are getting really hairy. Then just say "perimeter and Poseidon have been activated think twice. Lets talk." Poseidon looters in international waters outside territory regularly checking whether it has received one of three order: a)execute one of the predetermined attack scenarios (nuclear war has started) b) come home (deterrent has worked, crisis avoided, return to pre designated evacuation point where Russian navy asset will pick up the torpedo for refurbisment and redeployment. These are most likely VERY expensive assets and you don't want to leave it out to be found anyway for intelligence reasons. c) self destruct. (Poseidon is compromised and about to fall in enemy hands or otherwise unrecoverable). Most likely go to as deep as possible in ocean and do non nuclear or diminished nuclear detonation to prevent hostile recovery of the tech.
It will need at minimum one-way com link most likely at minimum optional two way. The time it takes for this to swim to target the situation might have changed. So it will need short/ attack confirmation capability closer to target. Unless it is a pure spite weapon...... 3 days after USA nuked Moscow...... nuclear torpedo sent as last act of spite by Russian forces finally arrives at New York harbor and blows it up. It never has had the ability to be aborted. Once sent it will relentlessly swim to target or gets destroyed trying. It has no tactical or even strategic use as warfare item due to how long it takes to reach target. By the time it arrives (if sent from bastion position strategic sub) the war is already over. ICBMs have done the main war already in 30-60 minutes. Meaning it is last big middle finger of already non existent nation. Aka it service to nation is purely as strategic deterrent. If it ever is actually launched Russian Federation has ceased to exist by the time it detonated.

@@silverbladeTE and the fact it contains a 100 megaton warhead. The tsar bomba was surprisingly clean as nearly 95% of it's yield was through fusion. People call it a 3 stage but it was a very large 2 stage bomb in reality. Let's say you put the 3 stage warhead on this weapon. That much fission energy isn't gonna be clean at all. You might as well salt it with cobalt. Lmao
@@justinbiggs1005 correct, it would be awful for fallout to put it mildly if the third stage had been in the Tsar Bomba :(
hence, Sakharov replaced it with inert lead
we're talking several TONS of U-238, ack!
but, the cobalt's fallout will tend to produce a much longer duration of lethality than the fission products and that's the real issue, even if it reduces bomb's energy (damage) output by maybe a third
Fallout potency (short term) vs duration
most of the intense fission products from the enormous third stage will be gone in a couple of months, but the output will be hellish and also induce secondary radiation of harmful output in heavy concentrations
but the cobalt 60 will be lethal for several decades but at lower energy output
so staying in the *large* affected area of a Cobalt bomb is a massive health risk for about 15 years at least afterwards
and takes a century or more to be safe
@@silverbladeTE you're correct. Thankfully Russia didn't put the third stage in.
I think Poseidon has one distinct feature separating it from other nuclear attacks: Until it hits, you don't know it is coming. (If it is successful.)
That makes atomic first strikes stronger and therefore increases the chance for an all out nuclear war
also there is no practical defense.
with traditional missiles you have a chance to shoot them down. Even if they hit a city the entire city will probably not be destroyed, just a big chunk of it. with this its going to devastate huge parts of the coastline for miles around and whatever city was targeted is deleted from the map including everyone who lived there. number of survivors effectively zero and no bomb shelter ever made will save you.

Why should a doomsday weapon be a fast torpedo? Much more usefull would be a silent, slow electric torpedo powered by a nuclear thermal generator (RTG) running at about 5 knots or slower als a weapon of last resort. It could rest encapsulated on the ocean floor and be activated by a system like "perymetr" a.k.a. "Dead Hand" - which is not (I repeat not!) totally automated.
To expand on this idea, if you treat it less like a torpedo and more like a drone, you could deploy them at any time and just leave them off various coasts, ready to be remote detonated.
@@neeneko exactly. A doomsday drone. For eradicating naval task forces, the russians got another weapon, the supercavitating "skvahl" torpedo, which is brought near the target by a silent ssn and fired into the enemy naval groups direction with an unparralleled speed and detonating a very big nuclear warhead in the carrier task force ensuring that the carrier will be taken down. By the way, with very big warhead I dont mean a zar bomb doomsday warhead like for a doomsday revenge weapon, but a thermonuclear warhead with a yield about 500kt to 1mt.
@@neeneko On the subject of pre stationing those weapons near your targets, I assume, that would be a too great risk. Remember, this is a weapon of last resort, for second strike. So, this weapon has to be under strict control, which is only possible, when you station it undersea near your own territory with a subsea cable or other means of very secure communication to be activated when nuclear war is already going on. The russians fear greatly the abm system not for an ability to stop a first strike. That is way outside of the capabilities of any abm system in the foreseeable future. What the russians fear is a limited counter force strike against their land based systems with stealth cruise missiles and fast, low trajectory ssbn missiles and the ability of an abm system to counter their then greatly reduced second strike weapons. Remember, just because the russians are not always friendly to the west, it doesnt mean there isnt any rationality behind their thinking.
That's a very interesting idea and I thought of the same thing. Since the torpedo is so big, I thought, why does it need a submarine to fire it? It's already nuclear powered, can't it reach it's destination on it's own? But then I also think the issue with your idea is that they could be recovered and studied by the Americans, if they manage to find it somehow, which would of course be difficult.
🤔
Well the Tsar Bomba was tested at 50% it's payload so it's likely they just rebuilt Tsar Bomba without cutting half its payload and put it in a nuclear submarine-missile thingy
Bro this poseidon 4times power same as Tsar bomb
The size of the vessel puts no limits on the payload me thinks. The limit is the strength of the Globe and stability of its lithosphere.
It's also a cobalt bomb so the entire coastal region it hits will be seriously irradiated for centuries.

Good words. Sadly, in USA in power strange people which looks like not understand this. Let’s remember what said Obama just several years ago: “Russia is isolated, with its economy in tatters”. Facepalm. This year Russian economic became 5th in world, it was 6th when Obama said own words, country also became richer. It is example that political establishment living in some parallel universe with very strange views, actually myths. You know, it is like with this hypersonic missile. Immediately it was declared impossibly, just because “russian can’t”. They said it about country which before invented first supersonic cruise missile, first supersonic passenger plane, fastest torpedo in world, all that space stuff, etc. Or I just today saw how on American TV they tried to laugh over Russia vaccine against covid. Jokes like “they already invent new vaccine against own previous vaccine”, or “vaccine were approved by all 5 russian doctors”. It is joke over research institute which was founded in 19 century, which founded modern immunology as science, which created world-wide program regard to which was defeated smallpox in 20 century, which invented one out two vaccines against ebola, which produce whole bunch of vaccine against misc rare viruses in African and this vaccines uniques, nobody else in whole world have them. What is it? Incompetent estimations of enemy. Total degradation like in really good American movie “Idiocracy”?
So, I doubt they not understand what you said. And they (political regime) can try to attack.
Moreover, just watch at all this powerful propaganda of latests years, even when something was debunked with 100% proofs, media still repeat lie. It can’t be just because journalists are stupid or something like that, it is strategy. They move forces already of border. Only mad can’t understand, that actually it is already over red lines. It is provocation on preemptive strike (and some russian leaders openly called to that: “let’s do not repeat mistake of 1941, let’s attack first”). It is literally dangerous. So, it all looks like preparation to war. Moreover, this demonstration of weapons which Putin did, it is so strange and untypical.. Russia almost never demonstrated new weapons, never demonstrated what is in development like now. It looks like some attempt “to scary enemy”. Why? Because war is close?

I'd love to see a video like that as well, but let's be honest here. Simply put, there's no viable defense against those, otherwise I'm sure he would've made one by now. Hitting even ballistic missiles is incredibly difficult. People like to describe it as trying to hit a bullet with a bullet, but in fact, it's much harder than that, because ballistic missiles are much, much faster than bullets. Especially ICBMs. And now, imagine having the ability to deploy weapons which are as fast as ballistic missiles, and yet have the capability of maneuvering, while flying at hypersonic speed. In short, your "bullet" can just evade my "bullet" if I get close to hitting it. It literally nullifies the entire concept of ABM defenses and it would require a whole new system.
Let's call it AHM (anti-hypersonic missile) defense system. People also often say that DEW (directed energy weapons) might actually be useful against these things, and yet, HGVs and HCM (hypersonic cruise missiles) are already able to withstand extreme heat. So, if Avangard can survive a temperature of around 2000 degrees Celsius while flying, then how does a laser weapon help in that case? It would take quite a lot of time for a laser to cook Avangard. Provided it has an extreme energy supply to generate that much heat. And it's precisely time that you don't have, since this thing can fly at up to 9.3 km per second. Plus, you'd have so much trouble detecting it, since the moment it separates from an ICBM, it dives down into the atmosphere, nullifying the ability of US space-based tracking systems of being able to see it, since it would technically never reach the LEO (low Earth orbit) or even VLeO (very low Earth orbit). So, it flies too low for you to be able to track it from space, but also too high to be able to (accurately) track it from the ground.
But lets assume, just for the heck of it, that you actually can track it. Now what? How do you shoot it down? The GMD (ground-based midcourse defense) system is useless here, since it's designed to kill ballistic missiles in their midcourse phase, when they can't maneuver. Avangard can basically supermaneuver at any stage of flight. So there goes the GMD. Now you're left with THAAD. THAAD has missiles which are more maneuverable than the GMD, but they also have a much shorter range. Shorter range means much less time to react, which again is a really bad thing if you're facing a thing that fast.
Again, HGVs are basically ahead of even DEWs in terms of high-tech and have much better applications. Especially in terms of long-range. DEWs, as the name implies, can basically only go straight. You can't really bend a laser, which severely reduces the range of DEWs, due to the curvature of the Earth (take that flat-earthers 😂).
BOOM! Hypersonics win again.
Драгољуб Боснић the only serious option for now against hypersonic missiles might be nuclear warheads exploding sufficiently near it to destroy the glider.

Is that you want your adversary to think they are less capable, than they really are. Or he can easily create counter-counter measures or make more of them.

A Covert Cabal Binkov crossover is an unexpected but welcome surprise
Status 6 (and sister clone models) has an AI it really doesn't need a submarine to carry it. It could probably be just placed in the water and told where to go and wait. It can go as deep as the ocean floor since it has no need for life support or air pockets. We all focus on the launch of the sub while ignoring has anything else slid into the water that week. It can probably crawl super quiet at really slow speeds. Taking a week or 3 to crawl on the ocean bottom from the Baltic or North Sea to the mud just outside Atlanta or the dock for the Staten Island Ferry would not be important to the AI directing the movements. Poseiden is not really a torpedo, it is instead an unmanned self directing, mobile, super stealthy, nuclear sea mine. Once in place it can sit in the mud for decades waiting for an instruction to detonate, or let a timer decide. In that role it has no need of a sonar system.lOnce on site it probably has sensors and enough intellect to detect any sign of an effort to tamper or disarm it, and it would probably immediately detonate upon noticing such an attempt.
Really appreciate this fact based video. I saw many others about this torpedo spreading wrong informations/panic, talking about 200MT power and taking rumors like worst nuclear fallout ever being engineered on purpose, as approved fact. (cough, Real Life-Lore, cough, cough,..)
While they can have up to 100MT det. power, smaller versions, which are probably more common, start at 10MT, meant for targets like naval bases.
I see this torpedo as a new generation of overpriced, oversized scarecrows, like the 100MT tsar bomba once was.
Great video.
It's not that you are an idiot, you are just not educated enough!
20MT warheads were built in the sixties for the city buster ICBM's. Re-conditioned and re-purposed?

@@kylecollins7079 ...... or used two times by those a~~hole~.
Why is it scary? Although some people think that it is, it does not appear to be designed as a "doomsday" weapon. From my perspective, it is in fact a defensive device, designed to neutralize US carrier strike groups, that may try to play war in Russia's backyard. So long as the US leaves the Russian Federation alone, then there is likely no threat at all.
When Putin first announced the device publicly, a high ranking US military official publicly made a statement claiming that it was not really an important weapon, and that it did not change the strategic balance of power, since Russia already had the ability to nuke and devastate any US city, regardless if it was on the coast or not.
The US military official that made the statement was correct to claim Russia could nuke any US city, but what he failed to mention to the US public, is that it did change the balance of power, in terms of the US's ability to "project power" across the globe, during a time of open warfare, with Russia.
If the US decides to engage Russia in open warfare, such that the US Navy becomes a genuine threat to the Russian Federation, then Russia may use one or more Poseidon devices to sink any US aircraft carrier group(s) that are placed by the US within striking range of the Russian motherland. Poseidon is thus a defensive device. Using it against legitimate military targets like a US aircraft carrier strike group operating in range of launching an attack on Russian territory, would presumably not justify a US nuclear retaliatory response against a civilian population center within Russia. Using a Poseidon device against a US coastal city (which would be mostly a civilian target), could potentially justify US nuclear retaliatory strike against a Russian civilian population center, which is presumably not something that they want, and is presumably something that they would actively try to avoid. Consequently, US coastal cities are probably quite safe from Poseidon.
It would appear that Poseidon is primarily a defensive device, designed to protect the Russian Federation from US Navy surface ships that may try to threaten Russia. Ships that are sitting harmlessly in a continental US port city, would not likely be targeted by a Poseidon device (unless for some reason full scale nuclear escalation occurred, whereby US civilian population centers started becoming targets).
It should be noted, that US aircraft carriers (and their associated escort ships in the strike group) are far too expensive. The loss of a single US aircraft carrier strike group would instantly render the entire US surface navy effectively obsolete, since it would prove that they are basically defenseless and overpriced sitting ducks to Russian weapons. Consequently, it would no longer be safe for any US aircraft carrier to operate anymore, in any waters anywhere near Russian territory. The US Navy would really only be safe sitting at home ports located in the continental US, whereby it would not be in range of launching attacks against Russian territory.
The sensible thing for the US, is to end the war in Ukraine by pursuing peace, and to leave Russia alone. Russia has demonstrated tremendous restraint in the war in Ukraine thus far. Russia could have targeted and eliminated Zelensky early on, and/or, they could have started using nuclear weapons. However, they have not, even though the war has already been ongoing for a year and a half so far.
If Russia was actually being run by "crazy madmen" like the US and other western media claims, then nuclear weapons would have already been used long ago, in the Ukraine conflict. However, since they have not, it is clear that Russia is in fact being run by those who do in fact know restraint, are not suicidal, and are acting quite rational. If you do have access to very powerful weapons, and you are at war with someone, it takes restraint not to start using them. Official Russian nuclear doctrine basically says that they are not to use nuclear weapons as a first strike option, unless their homeland is being actively threatened. However, Zelensky (likely with the help of Biden) has made more than one attempt to assassinate Putin in the past, and Biden has spoken publicly about "regime change" in Russia. Consequently, the Russian homeland is in fact under threat, and Russia is therefore "allowed" to use nuclear weapons, based on their own nuclear doctrine. However, since they have not done so thus far, they are exercising restraint, considerably more so I would argue, than the US and NATO forces. The US and NATO have adopted a policy of continuous escalation to increasingly powerful and longer range weapons, whereby they have begun actively attacking sites within the Russian territory (and not just Crimea).
The US and NATO nations are playing with fire. Russian restraint may not be unlimited. The proper course of action is to pursue peace, and to stop the war insanity, even if this may mean making some compromises that may offend one's own ideals. Peace is definitely preferable to trying to survive in an irradiated post apocalyptic nuclear wasteland.

Ilimited range - that means you don't need any type of vessel to carry it around. You just launch it and send it super slow to the designated target and keep it there sleeping
This is some scary stuff. If that torpedo has an essentially unlimited power source then it wouldn’t even need to move fast. It could be maneuvered slowly into position then just sit near its target on the seabed and then moved that last little bit close enough to its target and detonated at a later date.
Imagine if these countries stopped fighting and wasting so much money on killing technology and used it to help the world instead.
I wouldn’t worry about it. Putin wants resources and economic control. By irradiating the East or West Coast, he loses that possibility and Russia has a very damaged economy.
He’d likely invade by conventional means if anything. However, since the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia’s track record with quelling and invading hasn’t been exactly been too successful
The use case described makes no sense in terms of how this weapon can be used. This topredo can probably throttle down its reactor to really low power and move into positon very slowly and very quietly and then just wait for a few decades. When it gets the orders if goes to full power and move at high speeds giving little time to react. With no people to deal with and the fact it doesnt need to get where its going fast it can probably be an order of magnitute quieter than a conventional nuclear sub. I wouldnt be surprised if this thing can park 1mile from a naval base without anyone detecting it.
A "few decades" is too long to leave a live nuclear weapon at sea and expect it to work. Not only is there the risk of an accident as there are no humans able to inspect and maintain it, but more realistically something would fail after probably just a few months.
The real factor is that if a 50 megaton bomb can destroy buildings at 1k kilometers, imagine a 100 megaton one in the ocean so even if it goes fast, it can be hundreds of kilometers from a base and simply destroy a region
Anything that humans have ever built can fail, especially after sitting decades under salt water. I would not be surprised if the Russian torpedo actually blows up some port in Russia while they try to program it.
They have thousands of nukes, they even don't need most advanced delivery system
Most of the Cold War weapons systems are old and falling apart in both countries.

So guys, you are misunderstanding the way that nuclear power can be used here, you guys are looking at this from a standpoint of typical steam generating turbine feeding reactor - which for torpedo design is simply unnecessary. First, since you are surrounded by very cold water you can create a very efficient RTG generator driven purely on decay heat or a sterling engine based electricity generator, again driven by decay heat. A RTG based torpedo, since it's power generator has no moving parts, can sit on the sea bed for years without making a noise, then just lift up and attack the target.

Posidon rocket was first developed by Dmitry Sacharov, brilliant physcist, but he got NobelPrise not for physics, but Piece prize. He also developed Hydrogen bomb among his inventions. The idea for the Posidon was to get to destination and lay there for many years, before being active. With the engines switched off. It might be couple of them are in service already.
When Putin took power he proposed cooperation and friendship on the base of Russia’s independence, but the US started surrounding Russia with its nuclear missiles, hostile countries and choking it with sanctions in order to bring it to submission. And now we have the result of this nearsighted policy. Americans have to learn how to respect others until it is too late.
What sucks is that we've been such a horrible neighbor to much of the world for so long that we needed the defenses we have to circumvent in the first place.
What do you mean by 'circumvent in the first place'
funny how the 100 MT claim comes from western defense analysts that have never actually been close to the actual weapon.
the Russians maintain it will be armed with a 2MT warhead. and the design which was leaked a couple of years ago and turned out to be correct shows the warhead size as being 1,5 meters diameter by 4 meter length. this is a 7 cubic meter warhead. which is smaller then the tsar bomba warhead at 2.1 meter diameter and 8 meter length, and therefore a 100MT yield or even a 50MT one is unlikely for the Status 6. 10-20 megatons is more in the range of possibility. and even then the 2MT warhead the Russians say it is, is also likely considering its mission, which is not to create tsunamis or attack coastal cities. the weapon is actually designed to blow up an entire carrier group with 1 weapon. or an entire naval port or dry docks.
the tsunamis, and attacking coastal cities claims is the basic western fear mongering those abilities have never been claimed by Russian officials or the manufacturer of the weapon, don't forget this weapon was designed in the first place as a response to the US's unilateral withdrawal from the ABM treaty in 2002. all the weapons Putin announced in the 2018 speech were designed as a response, they are all weapons designed to circumvent ABM systems. which is exactly the ability Russia said it would develop when the USA pulled out from the ABM treaty. and you can claim a full scale ABM umbrella was never emplaced. that would simply be false. SM-3 carrying ships patrol around Russia all the time. the Aegis ashore installations in Poland and Romania could hit a decent portion Russian ICBM's fired from static silos in their ascend phase.
next to that the US has been lying about Aegis ashore inability to fire tomahawk cruise missiles. because there have been talks with japan on giving the planned (now scrapped) Aegis ashore facilities that "software" when the Russians said the ones in eastern Europe only needed a software upgrade to fire tomahawks, they were laughed at and assured this was not the case. assured without any evidence to proof this was the case. at that time a clear violation of the INF treaty.
i would say Russia's response to being encircled with ABM systems is proportionate and reasonable. exactly what they said they would do if the US kept breaking down the treaties that in their view maintained the balance of strategic force.
"if you burn your ass, you have to sit on the blisters" is what they call that i believe.

Also, those projects that you mentioned are DIFFERENT projects.
Such submarines were decommissioned in the mid-90s due to maintenance and cost issues. k-329 is used as a test carrier, although in truth it is enough to simply push Status-6 into the water and start the reactor, the submarine is not needed for this.
Status-6 uses a liquid metal cooled reactor as a Lyra-class submarine. More than 200 times faster than a conventional reactor.

There's a weapon in the Navy's arsenal called the encapsulated torpedo (MK-60) The early versions of these (MK-48) were designed to detect and identify Russian nuclear subs. They have a library of sonar signatures and they can steer their way to a target from the sea floor. I'm guessing that the new stuff is a lot more sophisticated.

Salt water is heavy in conductivity. You could set up underwater modules to create a network around what you need to protect. And when it is detected these modules would send out a underwater emp pulse to disable the device. Easy. There is always an answer.
Figure out its guidance system and go after that. If sonar put a bunch of emitters all along the coast get it going in circles.
