Read about how Russian middleman are using the cryptocurrency tether to avoid U.S. sanctions and procure parts for drones and other high-tech equipment: on.wsj.com/3TQmmVI

the reason USA couldn't find oil in Russia.

You missing the point of this Torpedo, It's nuclear powered and has almost unlimited range, it can go slowly undetected under World Oceans...

NATO conventional superiority? 🤣🤣🤣

You missed the most important part : it's nuclear powered!!!

Ukrainian Chief of the general staff, Syrsky, said "Constantly underestimate Russia lead to an assured defeat". Remember what media used to say one year and half ago : Russia has exhausted all its missiles ; Russia pretends to have functional hypersonic Kinzhal and Zircon ; Russia has a poor army, with no equipment, no good training, and most of the soldiers are drugged and drunk soldiers. Etc.

We all saw our assessment of Russian capabilities…..remember “catastrophic, humiliating and strategic defeat of Russia?” Now it’s “please give us $60bn or it’s the end of NATO.”

Not bad for chips from washing machines.

Russia conducts military conflicts only on its border, aimed at protecting Russia's security. Russia has never attacked remote countries. Russia has never used nuclear weapons. At the same time, the United States is fighting a huge number of military conflicts far from its borders due to its strength and resources. The United States has killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in remote corners of the world. It was the United States that used nuclear weapons twice, but not for military purposes, but intentionally against the civilian population. It is unlikely that Russia will strike first. It doesn't make any sense. but the US aggression is quite obvious

wow, it's my first time seeing a shovel travelling underwater.

no need to mess with the russians

Not a first-class nuclear power. THE first-class nuclear power.

If they could make a 50 MT Tsar, then I see no reason to say they wouldn't make a 100 MT warhead for the torpedo

Sounds like another good reason to NOT be enemies with Russia.

waking the bear from hibernation was a very bad idea

She is so clever until it is too late. I hope she is not an acting advisor to a person who can't find his way of the stage. Otherwise, we are all doomed.

Is that a shovel? SACRE BLEU!!!

The Russian NUCLEAR TORPEDO POSEIDON can carry a HYDROGEN BOMB if The Armed Forces of Russia wish it so. So just because it MAY not be a 100 megaton warhead, it sure can pack a punch, anytime, anywhere.

I am tired of all the warmongering....

Burevestnik missile is the above ground version of Poseidon. A nuclear powered nuclear armed cruise missile can can fly for months in the wild blue yonder and wait for orders from the head office. Nasty.

I think Poseidon is a real weapon and it is almost certainly functional. A nuclear-powered torpedo with a conventional warhead or a nuclear one is feasible. Moreover, this is a defensive weapon. Russia's nuclear doctrine only allows the usage of nuclear weapons if the U.S. strikes first or if the existence of the Russian state is at stake. The United States' nuclear doctrine does, however, include the right to strike first... So, which country is the most dangerous ? Certainly not Russia as their nuclear weapons are strictly defensive weapons and can only be used in response.

Big promotion 50% off, Poseidon model surfboards, if the torpedo doesn't work you can surf a small wave on your favorite beach, if it works, you don't even need to be close to the beach. In either case you will get a cobalt tan.

The propaganda never stops huh

The only interesting use of this system would be to take out entire naval strike groups, but not the destruction of costal cities.

It's worse than the "tsunami effect." Take a look at the Bikini Atoll "Test Baker" July 25, 1946 involving the German cruiser Prince Eugen moored 1100m from the nuclear blast. Small compared to the newer Poseidon torpedo blast. Check the huge battleship dwarfed by the large underwater blast wave, presumably around 200m tall. Pics available anywhere on the internet.

The tsunami effect . . . If they detonate one of those in the right place the resulting nuclear tsunami would be larger then what you'd expect.

Let the US suit itself, please go ahead to poke the bear to confirm your doubts.

"There is no reason you would need a 100 megaton war head." Ahhh yeah there is, lol Cause they can. Good Lord. There is no reason for nukes that will never be used in the first place, its called a deterrent.

6,000 + nuclear warheads = first class nuclear power without first strike torpedo.

It's not tsunami weapon against coastal cities but a RC mine for your carrier groups duuh

To those who does not understand: Poseidon is not a nuclear submarine. Poseidon is a nuclear powered, nuclear missile/torpedo, that can loiter underwater for weeks, and denotates underwater.

Love how we build weapons we’ll never use again

On one hand they say that 100 megaton warhead is not needed for any strategic reason so 2 megatons is good enough, on the other hand they say "don't believe Putin, it's not as capable". Does it mean those 2 Megatons are not scary or you are trying to tell us you are 100% convinced they will not detonate close enough? What's the message here?

Why argue, when there is only one way to find out

I think USA must be given a bit taste of Russian fire power

I would like to see a full test in the middle of the atlantic.

Russia won't use them in a 1st Strike.

It’s like the hunt for the red October all over again lol

Then dont go to war with Russia

They did underwater tests. There was big waves. But they didn’t make 10,000ft waves

I believe Putin before I can believe anything Wall Street.

North Korea also got something similar

This definitely runs on washing machine and fridges chips 😂😂😂😂

What is the only country for today that realiesed 50megaton explosion? They stopped 100megatone explosion in 1961....according to the size of poseydon they could put 50megaton in it 60years ago.....

This is old. WJ is waaaay behind

It’s created to make both west east coasts inhabited for many years , due to specific nuc shell to create high radioactive pollution

Still waiting for WSJ to call me up for an episode on Equipped.

So, who ya gounna test it on first?

What's next? Shai Holud bomb???

Poor fish

Seems like underwater cruise missile would be a better description

how to funnel more money into defense industry companies 101.

George Carlin ---"My thing is bigger than your thing"....geopolitics 101. Take kindergarteners and put them in any government office, think-tank, and nothing would change.

Its crazy how far they must go to defend themselves..

One thing missing, this is drone, not exactly torpedo. System can already be deployed on both coasts, just sitting on bottom of oceans and standing by. With nuclear power, can be forgoten for years until time is come. These sleepers are very dificult to detect deep down underwater

WSJ and their never-ending CIA talkingpoints 😂😂😂😂

Imagine a world where humans cooperated to save the earth, and each other, rather than competing to destroy it all. We waste so much time, money, resources and intellect on militarism and weapons of destruction.

Heather's "expert" comments are annoying beyond belief🤮

Its to attack a carrier strike group rather than costal cities. The warhead assembly on it is a variable yeild 1.4 to 10Mt device. It isnt practical as s tsunami generator as water is a poor mode converter of gross radiant energy to a coherent shockwave like a tsunami.

US media always underestimate Russia 😂

Isn't this video a little too phallic? Or is that just war in general?

That launch video looked like a vertical launch system. Hmmm

It’s basically like project Pluto but underwater.

This is very old news but still a scary proposition. Thanks for sending.

I’m an American but man we underestimated Russia against us and our nato allies. Many against one. What does that say?

Don't use Mercator map. Show Actual size of nations and you'll realise how insignificant Europe is

I don't get it. It can navigate itself to not hit the bottom of the ocean? that is some impressive technology... if we were in the 1900s....

They should display this in their military parade

It is rumored to be a Cobalt warhead much highly radioactive than classic plutonium bombs.

Maybe it's designed to take out Naval bases/under water internet communications cables landing basins./Deep-sea ports. Maybe they are attached and hidden underneath commercial shipping vessels?.

here is a catch. they didn't tell you that its also nuclear powered ! can you imagine? unlimited range.

Heather Williams is awesome, we need to see more of her in mainstream media.

more of these types of videos please.

Sarcastically said: "Some in Russia have suggested this could create a tsunami with 10k foot waves or something along those lines..." Um, no one says that - as she sidesteps the stated 985 ft wave that would wipe out major ports and economic hubs.

Remember the T14 Aramata supertank? That went pear shaped on the red square itself.

A very impractical weapon. Relative to ICBMs, this would have a very slow delivery time coupled with difficulty controlling the weapon, either to direct its path remotely or recall the weapon.

By knowing physics, one understands how devastating this thing really is! No matter what WSJ says.

The interesting thing is that such a weapon, usable only near coasts,would create a radioactive tsunami. The detonation is after all, underwater. A 10 km (10,000 m) wave is very unlikely; but you can get quite a few things (cities and their contents) damp, and radioactive to some extent, with a wave 'only' 500 m high.

dude this has been a known thing for a while now. don't try to play it up. it has also never really been tested, seen working and is just a concept at most for what it does.

nato is conventionally stronger than russia which is why it has been unable to defeat russia conventionally

What is the effect if its detonated close to water surface beside a coastal city?

Any of your story want to include the part about how the United States exits the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty in 2001 and gives a great excuse for making a crazy torpedo like this? I'm sure you can't.

Don’t worry, it most likely won’t work if it exists at all.

This is beyond dumb. How did WSJ even get this past the editors?

Man I really want a posidon powered fishing boat

So, hows that three day special operation going?

We all know that without the support of all the west and US Ukraine wouldn’t be where it is today, let us put hate aside and stick to reality, I know that most people from the west won’t agree that Ukraine is still where they are today because the west have been supporting them. 1. Ukraine have received different kinds of weapons from the west which Russia have never face in wars before and that’s very challenging. 2. Ukraine have access to the world market where they can buy all the components that they need to build new weapons as they learn lessons from battlefield to counter Russia. 3. The west is helping Ukraine with intelligence with their advanced satellites and spy networks. 4. The west is helping Ukraine to build new weapons to counter Russia. Let’s assume that Russia have access to the world market what do you think would happen to Ukraine by now? Ukraine can get most advanced chips to build anything they want but Russia can’t because of sanctions. In reality, Russia is fighting not just Ukraine but all The west and USA.

As far as I’ve heard the collective west is having a hard time supplying Ukr with artillery shells & such while Russia has ramped up theirs that will take a long time for the west to catch up to. Not sure what conventional western arms superiority these folks are talking about.

Tsar bomb was significantly smaller and had 50mt yield (granted it didn’t have a nuclear reactor in it) but the torpedo is like 70 ft long 7 ft wide and the Tsar bomb was 23ft long. I doubt their nuclear R&D program regressed. It’s more than likely a variable yield like most modern nukes are, the lowest yield could be 2 mt but it’s max yield could be higher than anyone has ever witnessed. Which if it ever did pop off the US coast at max yield without warning, it will lead to the biggest geopolitical shift the world has ever seen.

When it hits target that will know no ones alive to narrate and say about poseidon😂😂😂😂😂😂

Russia always pulls nuke card in every talk as if they’re only ones with it

they filled the fuel tank with water . it won't reach us

Excellent

Talking about an underwater vector powered by a small nuclear turbine. Unlimited speed range, silent and undetectable. Tests have been completed, and it will go in mass production. 5 years ago, two Russian engineers lost their life while tests of the nuclear engine were carried out. They made a mistake which cost their life.

I doubt even the most powerful nuclear weapon can produce enough energy to cause a tsunami. Besides, using a torpedo seems unnecessarily complicated when you can do the same with a bomber. This seems aimed at taking out an american carrier group with a single strike.

You typically shouldn't underestimate your enemy, otherwise you might end up in a position similar to Ukraine. However when it comes to weapons capabilities, I would take the literal opposite of what russia says as fact. In this case, the torpedo probably launches and maneuvers in 180 and hits their own sub

2:12 well to obviously destroy the target that should be a no brainer.

A hundred-megaton warhead is to destroy a port permanently with its shipbuilding and supply lines. Tsar Bomba class bombs also could create huge waves like tsunamis, if positioned correctly.

Poseidon is absolutely a first strike weapon. So is the USAF capability to yeet an ICBM out the back of a Globemaster. If Russia did use this weapon, it would be their last shot at the west.

Out of Russia's 1000 Megaton propaganda about their capability, only 1 kiloton grows true
