Putin: Russia Tested Poseidon Nuclear-Capable Super Torpedo

On October twenty-ninth, Russia announced a successful test of its Poseidon underwater drone, a nuclear-powered, nuclear-capable weapon that can't be intercepted by current defenses. The test involved launching the drone from a submarine and activating its compact nuclear reactor, which kept it running for a long time. The drone can reportedly travel far without refueling, hit speeds over one hundred and twenty miles an hour, and dive deeper than any current naval weapon. This test is part of Russia's push to build next-generation weapons, following the U.S.'s decision to drop out of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. Putin has made his nuclear capabilities a big part of the conversation since the invasion of Ukraine, sending a message to Western leaders about Russia's nuclear deterrent.
