Vladimir Putin may have deployed a huge nuclear submarine carrying its latest doomsday weapon, NATO has warned its members.

The Belgorod has disappeared from its home base in the Arctic Circle and may be on its way to the Kara Sea to test the Poseidon nuke, a NATO warning note leaked to Italian media over the weekend has suggested.
Poseidon is a drone that is said to be capable of travelling huge distances underwater before detonating with enough force to trigger a 1,600ft nuclear tsunami designed to drown and irradiate coastal cities.


The Belgorod - a 600ft Russian nuclear submarine capable of carrying the Poseidon doomsday weapon - has left its base in the White Sea, a NATO warning note has said

If the test does go ahead, it would be Putin's latest attempt to intimidate the West over his failing war in Ukraine after he was suspected of ordering stealth attacks on the Nord Stream pipes last week.

The Belgorod was put forward as a candidate for the sabotage mission because it also carries mini-subs designed to carry out attacks on undersea infrastructure.
However, doubt was cast on its involvement because - at 600ft long - the submarine is one of the world's largest and getting into the Baltic undetected would have been extremely difficult.

It is also unclear whether the Belgorod would have had time to get from its home base in the White Sea to the Baltic - a distance of just under 3,000 miles - without its absence being noted.

NATO has since sent a warning to allies that the sub has gone missing, but said it is still thought to be operating in the Arctic.
It is unclear exactly when the warning was sent, but it was first reported by Italian newspaper La Repubblica on Sunday.
The Belgorod submarine has been in operation since July.

A clip emerged in 2019 showing the Poseidon - seen by military officials as a giant nuclear-capable torpedo - during a launch test

Poseidon was one of four next-generation weapons announced by Putin back in 2018, and is thought to be operational.

According to Russian media, it is capable of travelling for up to 6,000 miles underwater before exploding a nuclear warhead in its nose with a force of two megatons - more than 130 times times the size of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

That would create an irradiated tsunami up to 1,600ft high designed to drown coastal cities and leave them a nuclear waste-ground, state media claims.

The warhead has never been tested due to international prohibitions on the testing of nuclear weapons.

Breaking with those treaties by testing Poseidon - even in the remote waters of the Arctic - would be a hugely provocative move by Russia.

News of a potential test comes comes amid Russian sabre-rattling over the use of nuclear weapons linked to the Ukraine war, where Putin has been stymied by Western arms supplies.

The Belgorod can go up to 120 days without having to return to the surface.

TASS has previously reported that the Poseidon drone has an unlimited range and a maximum speed of more than 125 mph.

'Unique characteristics of the Poseidon system will help the Navy to successfully combat aircraft carriers and strike groups of a potential adversary in any oceanic theatre of war and destroy shore infrastructure facilities,' stated chief analyst of the General Staff, Admiral Igor Katasonov.



Vladimir Putin has threatened the West with nuclear weapons over Ukraine, after annexing four partially-occupied regions to Russia last week

'It is a completely new type of weapon that will force Western navies to change their planning and develop new countermeasures,' said expert H I Sutton, as reported by La Reppubblica.

A video shows how the state-of-the-art Belgorod submarine carries the lethal Poseidon drone torpedo.

Kiselyov - avidly watched by Putin and a top executive in Moscow's powerful state media propaganda machine - said Russia could use its big beast Sarmat hypersonic missile, also known as Satan-2, against Britain.

But he told viewers in May: 'Another option to plunge Britain into the depths of the sea is the Russian underwater robotic drone Poseidon.

'It approaches the target at a one kilometre depth with the speed of 200 kilometres per hour [125mph].

'There is NO way to stop this underwater drone.

'It has a warhead with a capacity of up to 100 megatons.

'The explosion of this thermonuclear torpedo close to Britain's shores will raise a giant wave, a tsunami, up to 500 metres [1,640ft] high.

'This tidal wave is also a carrier of extremely high doses of radiation.

'Surging over Britain, it will turn what is probably left of them into radioactive desert.

'Permanently unusable for anything.

'How do you like this prospect? And Putin warned about this, back on February 24 [if anyone interfered with his special military operation].'

Putin accused the West of sabotaging the Russian-made Nord Stream pipelines, but Western sources insist Moscow was behind the stunt which led to huge gas leaks in the Baltic.

This appears to be continued propaganda.

The US is also suspected.

Failing war in the Ukraine?
Putin gained 4 territories and millions of people under the protection of Russia.
That appeared to be the objective of the Operation.
Those people in those 4 territories, like Crimea VOTED to get out from under the boot of Nazi governed and U.S. Corporate Controlled Ukraine.
Those Territories had freer elections than the Peasant Class here in the Empire has ever seen.
Russia just had to turn a valve to stop NG flow.
Russia spent billions to lay that pipe. Then added a second pipe.....just to later blow them up?
The U. S. Corporate Empire stated more than once that the pipleline would be taken out.
I wonder how many LNG Ships were built in the last 10 to 15 years for just such an event to happen.
NOW Europe is firmly under the boot on the U. S. Empire.
Is the U.S. Corporate Empire at war with Russia.....Or Europe?

Sorry Dmatic, but your above post seems to be out of MSM. Winning? No one wins in war, NO ONE. Still for a look at some of what I have found to be more accurate as it comes straight from boots on the ground with regards to actual back and forth I will provide a link. I don't say it's any more accurate than whatever you research, simply a look at some of what is happening. Russia blowing up the pipeline would be/is stupid. There is no reason for that to happen that makes a lick of sense to a thinking human being. This sub has frightened the west in ways not even the nuclear stuff does because there is no defense against it.

On the ground in Ukraine, it seems to me for very little overall loss Russia has gotten/is getting much of what was claimed as the goals in the beginning, accomplished. I don't know who anymore than anyone else did the dmg to the pipeline but following the money is always a good look in the end and many, many more of the west are going to reap whatever monetary rewards from such an act than the russians. As an exercise for the mind, imagine Mexico shelling and invading Texas and claiming it theirs, Now further imagine after 4 years of no success Mexico with the help of China sending equipment,billions of dollars, and military trainers, decides to put down those Texans finally giving the land back to those who have claimed it (the Mexicans).

Would the US stand by and let it happen? That is exactly what Russia is doing to protect the Donbass from those who lay claim to lands that does not, nor ever has belonged to Ukraine. In this case Mexico=Ukraine, Texas=Donbass, US=Russia.

Of course in this instance Russia will defend it's own against the aggressor, IE: the west and the US we would do nothing different and the response likely would include for more devastation than Russia has caused so far.

Think about it is all I am saying. https://www.rooshvforum.com/forums/t...ainian-war.59/

I have seen many open sourced weapons advancements of Russia.
Their Corporations that are largely State Owned build for protection of the Russian State and dare say the Russian people.
The U.S. Corporate Empire sends money to Private Contractors that build things that do not usually work as advertised and funnel Billions to Stockholders.
Stockholder profits appear more important than building and usually re-building that weaponry to protect the Continuity of the U. S. Corporate Empire and little or nothing to protect the people.
There are charts on the internet that shows how much money is spent by Governments across the World.
Russia delivers much more bang for their much smaller Buck.
Big U.S. Empire weaponry is great for laundering Billions and hiding Trillions in Pension Funds.
Military Pension funds that the "Federal Government" also contributes to has over a $Trillion in investments.
Now, the U.S. Empire is looking to raping Germany and the rest of Europe by taking American NG and selling it to Germany and Europe at inflated prices.
The U.S. Corporate Empire soooooo richly deserve to be taken down.
Unfortunately, we of the Peasant Class will do the suffering for what we should have done years ago.
