Russia threatened the UK with the Poseidon nuclear torpedo saying it would flood Britain with a 500-meter radioactive tsunami. So, let’s take a look at this Bond-villain weapon and see what it can really do.
The radioactive tsunami claim is just false. But that doesn't make Poseidon harmless: it's a real, functioning autonomous weapon designed to carry a multi-megaton warhead across an ocean underwater, bypassing the missile defenses built to stop threats arriving from the sky.
I break down what Poseidon can actually do, how NATO's undersea detection network would try to stop it, and why the real threat here is far less cinematic than Russian news wants you to believe.
