Russia Tests 'Country Killer' Poseidon Torpedo Missile (Photos) by Kaliningrad(op): 9:50am On Oct 30, 2025
Russia Tests 'Country Killer' Poseidon Torpedo Missile (Photos)

🇷🇺 Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia had tested a Poseidon nuclear-capable super torpedo and that it had been a great success.

Officially known as the “Poseidon” (by Russia) and often designated as “Kanyon” by NATO, it is not a traditional torpedo. It is best understood as a large, long-range, nuclear-powered, and nuclear-armed autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) or an intercontinental-range, nuclear-armed underwater drone.

It is massive, estimated to be over 20 meters (65 feet) long and 2 meters in diameter, making it one of the largest torpedoes ever developed. It is powered by a small nuclear reactor, giving it what is believed to be virtually unlimited range. It could traverse entire oceans without needing to surface.

It is an unmanned, autonomous vehicle. Once launched, it would follow a pre-programmed course to its target, operating independently.

The Poseidon’s design gives it a set of capabilities that differentiate it from other nuclear delivery systems like intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).

The primary warhead is a nuclear weapon, estimated to be in the multi-megaton range (potentially up to 2 megatons or more). For comparison, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima was about 0.015 megatons. This immense explosive yield is not just for blast damage.

Putin, drinking tea with Russian soldiers wounded in the Ukraine war at a hospital in Moscow, said that the test had taken place on Tuesday.

“For the first time, we managed not only to launch it with a launch engine from a carrier submarine, but also to launch the nuclear power unit on which this device passed a certain amount of time,” Putin said. “There is nothing like this.”

“This is a huge success,” Putin said, adding that the power of the Poseidon exceeded the Sarmat intercontinental missile, known as SS-X-29, or simply Satan II.


“The Poseidon’s power significantly exceeds the power of even our most promising Sarmat intercontinental range missile,” Putin said.

Putin last week held a nuclear launch drill and on Sunday announced that Russia has successfully tested its nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile, a nuclear-capable weapon Moscow says can pierce any defense shield.

Since first announcing the Poseidon and Burevestnik in 2018, Putin cast them as a response to moves by the United States to build a missile defense shield after Washington in 2001 unilaterally withdrew from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, and to enlarge the NATO military alliance.

The massacre in Sudan is so massive that you can literally see bloodstains from space, visible in satellite footage.
The Islamist-led ethnic cleansing is still raging on, relentless and unpunished.

Where are the HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS??!

The West have been screaming "Russia must be destroyed" for the past 3 years.

This is to ensure that no one survives in the west, not even a blade of grass... if they're crazy enough to attack Russia.

If US and European leaders like, let them hide deep underground. These missiles go still reach them and turn them to ashes.

They are only interested in opposing what is God's. They are more anti-God than pro-humanity. Same humanity they mask their anti-God moves with.

This is all Russia do, develop high grade weapons of mass destruction, it reminds me of a particular tribe in Nigeria.

Nigeria has tribes that the only thing they ever achieved was seize Niger delta oil wealth through betrayal and covestounes.

No wonder the PDFile in the White House instructed the Alcoholic in the Pentagon to start testing their own Nuclear Weapons.

Stop comparing apples with oranges. The civil war in the Sudan is not the same thing as a situation of colonial occupation by an occupying apartheid power against an enslaved and imprisoned people, which is what is happening in Gaza.

I was not impressed with Trump's order to test nukes.

The strength of America and Israel is their silence.

The power in their silence is more powerful than any power they can display.

Without military parades, we all know that America is the greatest. Without weapons testing, we all know that America is the greatest. With China, North Korea, Iran, and Russia's hardware testings and glamorous millitary parade, we know that they do so just to shake their small nyyassh. They do so to intimidate. But you see, Israel, without even one military parade or weapons display, we know that they are 20 times stronger than the strongest military in the Middle East (Egypt—Iran is like the 4th strongest in the Middle East after Saudi Arabia and Jordan). Display of strength is for the weak. Prove of strength is for the strong.
