These weapons can cause massive destruction under water in seconds, only two countries have them, one is India’s…

India has successfully taken revenge for the Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 tourists were killed, and in days, the Indian Armed Forces have brought Pakistan to its knees by showing their might. On 7 May, the Indian Armed Forces entered Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) and destroyed 9 terror camps. The world was shocked to see the valour of the Indian Armed Forces. Now, a lot of discussion is going on Indian Army’s weapons. Currently, only two countries in the world have such weapons that can cause a tsunami if detonated under the ocean. One of these countries is India’s best friend.

Russia

India’s longtime friend Russia has a nuclear-powered underwater autonomous weapon called – Poseidon. It was first revealed Russian media in 2015, when a secret slide described it as the ‘Status-6 Oceanic Multipurpose System’.
Basically, Poseidon is an underwater drone which is loaded with a nuclear weapon. Russian President Vladimir Putin, in 2018, introduced the weapon as one of six new super-weapons. In May 2022, a Russian TV anchor claimed that this weapon is capable of sinking the United Kingdom with a 500-meter-high radioactive tsunami.

Wha is Poseidon?

It is an intercontinental nuclear-powered autonomous torpedo. The weapon is slower than other contemporary missiles in speed but if fired it is difficult to stop it. The torpedo has a range of 10,000 km and is capable of operating at a depth of 1000 meters. Its speed is 100 knots. Poseidon can carry a two-megaton nuclear weapon and its explosion can cause radioactive tsunami.

North Korea

In January 2024, North Korea conducted a test of a new underwater nuclear weapon system in the Sea of Japan. This action, utilizing a drone designated ‘Haal-5-23’, heightened regional tensions in the Indo-Pacific. The drone, initially tested in early 2023, represents a new development in North Korea’s nuclear capabilities.
In response to joint military drills involving the U.S., South Korea, and Japan, North Korea announced the successful testing of a new underwater nuclear weapon system. State media reports claim the drone is capable of carrying nuclear warheads and causing widespread destruction, potentially creating tsunami-like waves. North Korea framed the test as a direct response to perceived threats from the United States.
