JUST IN: 🇷🇺🇺🇸🇪🇺 Russia’s Poseidon “Doomsday” Submarine Khabarovsk Begins Sea Trials, U.S. & Europe Face New Nuclear Challenge Russia’s Khabarovsk nuclear submarine has reportedly entered sea trials after leaving Severodvinsk, a major milestone for Moscow’s Poseidon underwater nuclear weapons program. Unlike ballistic missiles, Poseidon is designed to travel deep underwater over very long distances, creating a completely different detection and interception challenge. Khabarovsk is the first submarine designed from the outset to carry Poseidon, reportedly capable of carrying several of the nuclear powered underwater drones. 🇺🇸🇪🇺 For the U.S. and Europe, the strategic concern is clear: finding and tracking the carrier submarine before launch could be just as important as dealing with Poseidon itself. Russia’s underwater nuclear deterrent is moving from the shipyard toward the open sea. 👀

What is known about Russia’s Poseidon nuclear-powered ‘apocalyptic' torpedoes? Project 09851 Khabarovsk nuclear submarine, which was launched in November 2025, is capable of carrying and deploying Poseidon torpedoes, Aleksander Moiseyev, commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, said. Key characteristics of Russia’s underwater doomsday weapon: 🔸The Poseidon is essentially a 100-ton unmanned underwater vehicle equipped with a nuclear propulsion system and a nuclear payload of up to two megatons 🔸Designed to take out coastal targets such as port facilities and naval bases, the Poseidon can achieve this result either through direct impact or by triggering a tsunami 🔸Its nuclear propulsion affords the Poseidon virtually unlimited range and a maximum speed of up to 130 km/h 🔸The Poseidon is very hard to detect as it can dive to depths up to 1,000 meters and can actively maneuver while in motion Russia is currently finalizing the Poseidon nuclear underwater vehicle for service entry, President Vladimir Putin said.

🚨🇷🇺OCEANIC SHIELD: RUSSIA'S DOOMSDAY TORPEDO IS NOW AT SEA The Russian Navy has launched its most secretive and strategic submarine yet — RFS Khabarovsk — a nuclear-powered special-purpose vessel built for one mission only: to carry and deploy Poseidon (Status-6) nuclear torpedoes. What is Poseidon? 🔸A nuclear-powered, autonomous underwater torpedo 🔸Estimated range: up to 6,200 miles — intercontinental 🔸Capable of carrying a 2-megaton nuclear warhead — 100x more destructive than the Hiroshima bomb 🔸Runs at depths and speeds that make interception extremely difficult Putin himself confirmed its successful test in October 2025, calling it "a huge success" and saying "there is nothing like this” Khabarovsk — Poseidon's carrier: 🔸A nuclear-powered special-purpose submarine, quietly launched by the Russian Navy 🔸Designed to carry up to 6 Poseidon torpedoes in specialized side-mounted launch hangars 🔸Powered by a single OK-650V nuclear reactor 🔸Operates from protected bastion zones near Russian coastlines — safely out of enemy reach — while Poseidon autonomously travels to its target 🔸No countermeasure exists to intercept it Poseidon is Moscow's direct hedge against US missile defense, precision-strike capabilities, and low-yield nuclear systems that Russia views as a threat to strategic stability. Integrated with the Perimeter dead-hand system, Poseidon guarantees retaliation even if Russia's nuclear command and control is destroyed. Russia's plan, according to the US Naval Institute, calls for 30 Poseidons on 4 submarines — 2 for the Northern Fleet, 2 for the Pacific Fleet — with torpedoes in the Atlantic and Pacific capable of autonomously striking US port cities, far beyond the effective reach of any American torpedo. Multipurpose Deterrent — Poseidon is dual-capable, conventional or nuclear, and built to strike carrier battle groups, coastal fortifications, and critical infrastructure. The US has no standoff weapon to intercept Poseidon. The Navy retired Subroc in 1992 — its only long-range anti-submarine missile. Its replacement, Sea Lance, was canceled at the Cold War's end and never replaced.

🚨🇷🇺 NATO IN PANIC: RUSSIA’S FIRST ZIRCON-ARMED NUCLEAR SUBMARINE IS ENTERING SERVICE Russia’s Project 885M nuclear submarine Perm is expected to complete trials and join the Navy before the end of 2026. It will be Russia’s first multipurpose nuclear submarine built from the outset to carry Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles as standard armament. 🔸 The Yasen-M combines the concealment and endurance of a nuclear-powered attack submarine with Russia’s most advanced naval strike weapons. Its arsenal includes Zircon, Kalibr and Oniks missiles for attacks against warships and targets deep inland. 🔸 The submarine has a submerged displacement of around 13,800 tonnes, reaches 31 knots underwater, can dive to 520 metres and remain at sea for up to 100 days. 🔸 Zircon reaches speeds of around Mach 9 and can strike sea and land targets at ranges exceeding 1,000 km. Its speed leaves defending forces only minutes to detect the launch, identify the target and attempt an interception. 🔸 The missile has already been successfully launched from beneath the surface, but Perm turns that tested capability into the standard armament of an operational submarine rather than a launch from an adapted trial platform. 🔸 Surface ships carrying hypersonic missiles can be tracked by satellites, aircraft and patrol vessels. A Yasen-M can remain hidden beneath the ocean, change its firing position and attack from an unexpected direction. 🔸 The same submarine can hunt carrier groups and other major warships while holding naval bases, ports, command centres and infrastructure on land at risk. Finding Perm will be NATO’s first problem. Stopping its missiles after launch will be the second — and at Mach 9, the alliance may have only minutes to solve it. Does NATO have an answer to a Mach 9 missile launched from beneath the ocean?

🚨🇷🇺 NATO IN PANIC: RUSSIA DEPLOYS FLAGSHIP NUCLEAR CRUISER TO STRATEGIC ARCTIC BASE Russia has just returned its most powerful nuclear cruiser to its Arctic stronghold: after 29 years of upgrades, the Admiral Nakhimov is back in Severomorsk — the ultra-secure Northern Fleet headquarters on Kola Bay guarding Russia’s nuclear submarine bastion. 🔸 Admiral Nakhimov completes its refit as Russia’s premier surface warship, now permanently based in the closed Arctic city that commands the Northern Fleet and its ballistic missile submarine force. 🔸 Severomorsk’s ice-free access, sustained by the North Atlantic Drift, lets major surface units reach the Barents Sea and GIUK Gap without seasonal restrictions. 🔸 The cruiser’s integrated air-defense, anti-submarine, and anti-ship systems add a potent layer to the multi-domain bastion built to shield Russia’s sea-based nuclear deterrent. 🔸 Western assessments often overlook how the bastion concept is rooted in defensive geography and the requirement for assured second-strike survivability rather than power projection alone. Do you think NATO can counter Russian power in the Arctic?

First Combat Use of Underwater Kamikaze Drones: Russian Kilo class Submarine Disabled in Novorossiysk The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has carried out a special operation in the port of Novorossiysk, marking the first-ever combat use of underwater kamikaze drones. During the operation, SBU-operated Sub Sea Baby underwater drones struck a Russian Navy Project 636.3 submarine (Varshavyanka class; NATO designation: Kilo). The explosion caused critical damage, effectively disabling the vessel. The submarine was equipped with four Kalibr cruise missile launchers used by Russia for strikes against Ukrainian territory. The operation was conducted jointly by the SBU’s 13th Main Directorate of Military Counterintelligence and the Ukrainian Navy. A Varshavyanka-class submarine is estimated to cost around USD 400 million. Due to international sanctions, building a comparable submarine today could cost up to USD 500 million. This class is also known as the “Black Hole” because of its low acoustic signature and reduced sonar visibility. The submarine had been stationed in Novorossiysk after earlier Sea Baby surface-drone operations forced Russian naval assets to leave Sevastopol Bay in temporarily occupied Crimea.

Having nuclear weapons is one thing. Surviving a nuclear attack and still being able to strike back is what defines a true nuclear superpower. Reports claim Pakistan asked China in 2024 for help building a sea-based nuclear deterrent, the most survivable form of nuclear capability. According to reports, China rejected Pakistan’s request and called the demand “unreasonable.” Today, only a handful of countries possess an operational sea-based nuclear deterrent: the United States, Russia, China, France, the United Kingdom, and India. India achieved this capability through its Arihant-class submarine programme, completing its nuclear triad with land, air, and sea-based nuclear forces. Pakistan’s reported push highlights how modern nuclear competition is no longer just about missiles on land — it is increasingly about what survives beneath the ocean. #China #Nuclear #submarine #Pakistan #indianarmy #NuclearSubmarine

🚨 The Submarine That Was a Floating Underwater City Russia’s Typhoon-class nuclear submarine was the largest ever built. At 175 meters long and over 48,000 tons submerged, even two Boeing 747s stacked end to end wouldn’t match its length. Designed for long missions, it included crew living areas, a gym, and a swimming pool. Its double hull design increased survivability, even if the outer hull was damaged, the submarine could continue operating. Powered by two nuclear reactors producing around 190 MW each, it had virtually unlimited range and could surface through Arctic ice. All Typhoon-class submarines have now been decommissioned, with the last one, TK‑208 Dmitry Donskoy, retired in 2023. Plans are underway to convert it into a museum ship. A remarkable achievement in naval engineering, unmatched in size and ambition.

🇷🇺 POSEIDON: RUSSIA’S UNDERWATER DOOMSDAY TORPEDO No, it’s not a 300-megaton super-nuke that will unleash a 1,500-foot radioactive tsunami to swallow cities whole - but it’s still terrifying. Russia’s Poseidon is a nuclear-powered, unmanned underwater drone, not a missile. It travels entirely underwater, bypassing missile defenses by cruising in stealth mode at low speeds and deep depths. Its likely yield? Somewhere between 2 and 10 megatons, enough to flatten coastal cities and irradiate harbors, but not to flood continents. Designed for a second-strike, it can sneak close to U.S shores and detonate offshore - spreading radioactive seawater and wrecking infrastructure. The Pentagon calls it “difficult to detect,” but not invisible - and definitely not invincible. Western navies are already working on ways to counter it. So no, it won’t destroy half the planet. But it’s a floating nuclear death bot with a grudge, and that’s bad enough. Source: FT, The Bulletin, National Interest

Just read through Trump’s interview with The New York Times and really appreciated what he had to say about the New START Treaty between the U.S. and Russia. The New START treaty is set to expire on February 5, 2026. It is the last nuclear arms treaty between the U.S. and Russia that prevents the two powers from rapidly expanding their nuclear arsenals. Trump said in the interview that he wants the deal to be made even stronger because there are a lot of weapons that Russia has that it does not cover, including their battlefield nukes and the Poseidon nuclear torpedo. He added that if it does expire he will make sure that a new "better agreement" is put into place. If the New START Treaty is continued, the U.S. would slow down Russia’s ability to churn out new missiles and nuclear warheads while the U.S. modernizes its ICBM arsenal and builds its new Columbia-class ballistic missile submarines. This could also have the added effect of saving taxpayers' money by not triggering a new arms race that would strain the Pentagon’s budget and an industrial base that is being revamped. He even added that he wants a treaty that limits China’s nuclear weapons as they are rapidly increasing their stockpile to compete with the U.S. and Russia. As can be seen in the video below, Trump reiterated the same position back in August, saying that he wants all 3 nations to limit their nuclear weapons

👀 KEEP EYES ON THE ATLANTIC | A U.S. RUSSIA NAVAL STANDOFF IS UNFOLDING The focus is on the sanctioned oil tanker Bella-1, a vessel linked to Iranian interests and now sailing under a Russian flag, as it attempts to cross the North Atlantic toward Russian waters. The United States is actively tracking the ship as part of sanctions enforcement, with U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon aircraft conducting surveillance and anti submarine patrols in the area. According to the Wall Street Journal, Russia has dispatched naval assets, potentially including subsurface forces, to escort the tanker and discourage any attempt to seize it. Moscow has not publicly detailed the scale of its deployment. The tanker’s cargo remains unconfirmed, but the close proximity of U.S. and Russian forces at sea raises the risk of miscalculation, turning a sanctions dispute into a serious strategic flashpoint.

Alastair Crooke: The US🇺🇸 may have signalled that it will resume nuclear weapons testing because Trump misunderstood a Russian missile test as a nuclear test ‘It seems to be based on a misunderstanding. Allegedly, Trump has proposed the idea of nuclear tests in response to Russian nuclear tests. But there hasn’t been a Russian nuclear test. The Burevestnik missile, that was publicised these recent days, like the Oreshnik. But this one has a nuclear power. It has got a propulsion system that is nuclear-based. Its warhead isn’t. There isn’t a nuclear warhead on it. It is a conventional warhead, but it is just instead of having a rocket propulsion, it has a nuclear drive that propels it. And this is why it’s able to stay aloft for a very long time, and in fact traverse the whole globe. But it’s nuclear propulsion, not a nuclear weapon. Did Trump understand that? Or did he just think this was a new nuclear weapon that Russia was testing? He probably didn’t understand that it wasn’t. It was just its propulsion mechanism that is nuclear, but not its warhead. Did Trump understand that? Or did he just think this was a new nuclear weapon that Russia was testing? He probably didn’t understand that it wasn’t.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. is desperately trying to prevent Iran from rebuilding its nuclear programme while needing to get it back to the negotiating table to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The problem is that one of Iran's most important remaining nuclear facilities is believed to be buried too deep for even America's most powerful conventional bunker-buster bombs to reliably destroy. That has led some analysts to discuss a possibility that until recently would have been almost unthinkable: a U.S. tactical nuclear strike. The greatest danger wouldn't necessarily be Iran's immediate retaliation. It would be breaking an almost 80-year taboo on the use of nuclear weapons. That precedent wouldn't stay in the Middle East. Russia has repeatedly threatened nuclear escalation during the war in Ukraine but has so far stopped short of crossing that line. Part of that restraint comes from the enormous political cost of being the first country since 1945 to use a nuclear weapon in war. If the U.S crosses that line first, it's easier for others to follow. It becomes far harder for Washington and its allies to argue that Russia must never do something they have already done themselves. A tactical nuclear strike might solve one military problem in Iran. But it could also make nuclear weapons politically usable again in every future war that involves a rival with nuclear capabilities. Writer: Mhedi

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. is desperately trying to prevent Iran from rebuilding its nuclear programme while needing to get it back to the negotiating table to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The problem is that one of Iran's most important remaining nuclear facilities is believed to be buried too deep for even America's most powerful conventional bunker-buster bombs to reliably destroy. That has led some analysts to discuss a possibility that until recently would have been almost unthinkable: a U.S. tactical nuclear strike. The greatest danger wouldn't necessarily be Iran's immediate retaliation. It would be breaking an almost 80-year taboo on the use of nuclear weapons. That precedent wouldn't stay in the Middle East.

🚨🇷🇺 WEST IN PANIC: RUSSIA DEPLOYS MACH 27 MANEUVERING HYPERSONIC NATO CAN'T STOP Russia's Avangard just made the NATO's trillion-dollar missile shields look like expensive theater. The world's only operational hypersonic glide vehicle rides the Sarmat ICBM into the upper atmosphere, separates, then glides at Mach 20-27 while actively maneuvering to dodge interception. 🔸 Avangard reaches up to Mach 27 while dynamically changing both course and altitude, making reliable interception nearly impossible. 🔸 The system evolved from Soviet Project Albatross, designed in the 1980s specifically to defeat Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative. 🔸 Avangard was revived after the US abandoned the 1972 ABM Treaty, teased by Putin in 2004, and entered full service and production in 2018. 🔸 It carries a powerful 800 kiloton to 2 megaton nuclear warhead with a range exceeding 6,000 km. 🔸 Meanwhile, America’s Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) only completed its first trials in 2024. Has the hypersonic arms race already been decided in Russia’s favor?
