One of Russia’s nuclear-powered submarines, named Belgorod, has reportedly vanished from its Arctic harbor, and Western countries fear it could be gearing up to test its advanced weapons systems.
Belgorod is believed to be armed with “Poseidon” nuclear torpedoes that supposedly have the ability to traverse hundreds of miles underwater and induce “nuclear tsunamis” near coastal regions, Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported.
“This nuclear ‘mega torpedo’ is unique in the history of the world,” submarine expert H.I. Sutton explained on his website Covert Shores. “Poseidon is a completely new category of weapon. It will reshape naval planning in both Russia and the West, leading to new requirements and new counter-weapons.”
NATO has warned its members that Belgorod has left its perch in the Arctic harbor, per La Repubblica. Belgorod is believed to be one of the largest submarines in the world and entered service back in July, the New York Post reported. NATO officials reportedly believe it could be headed to the Kara Sea for testing.
Formally known as the K-329 Belgorod, the submarine has been described as “the epitome of a new concept of warfare.”
