They’ve been scoffing for years at Putin’s claims about advanced Russian weapons. The scoffing stops when Russia demonstrates the weapons, and the so-called experts realize that the U.S. doesn’t have anything comparable. The latest Putin announcement will be more of the same. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
Russia has been busy this month testing cutting-edge nuclear warhead delivery weapons, at a moment peace talks with Washington centered on finding truce in Ukraine have broken down. To review, less than week ago we detailed: Putin Oversees Major Russian Nuclear Drill, Launches ICBMs. And then just days ago: ‘Not Playing Games’: Trump Responds To Putin Testing ‘Invincible’ Nuclear Cruise Missile.
On Wednesday Russian President Vladimir Putin declared yet another major breakthrough test of a nuclear-capable weapon, this time a state-of-the-art underwater drone named the ‘Poseidon’.
The trial took place the day before at an undisclosed location, with Putin subsequently describing, “When it comes to speed and depth, there is nothing comparable to this unmanned vehicle anywhere the world, and it is unlikely to appear anytime soon.”
He further claimed there are currently “no methods of intercepting” the Poseidon. It is also apparently nuclear-propelled, at least some of the time.
“For the first time, we succeeded not only in launching it from a submarine using its booster engine, but also in starting its nuclear power unit, which provided energy to the vehicle for a certain period of time. This is a tremendous success,” Putin described.

The Poseidon can make coastal cities disappear?
With the right washing machine parts anything is possible.
