Naming Russian weapons is the horror of the US military

The weapon that American naval strategists fear most is the nuclear-powered Poseidon torpedo, which functions as an underwater combat UAV with seemingly unlimited range. It is expected that six Poseidons will be deployed on the deck of the Belgorod.
In addition, according to the author of the article, Poseidon is capable of creating an explosion with a capacity of up to 2 megatons. According to expert Eastwood, in the arsenal of NATO countries there is no weapon that can stop this super torpedo.
Furthermore, it is now assumed that the Poseidon is capable of overcoming all means of the US anti-missile defense system. The Belgorod can also carry underwater devices that allow the crew to cut submarine cables and perform operations on the seabed.
In early July, the National Interest noted that the Belgorod, a special-purpose nuclear submarine, was designed to deliver a retaliatory strike in the event of a nuclear war. In the same month, an article published in The Drive said that the K-329 would allow the Russian Navy to maintain dominance in the Arctic.
