“Russia has successfully tested a nuclear-capable, nuclear-powered underwater drone, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday, defying President Donald Trump’s warnings with Moscow’s second test of a new nuclear weapons system in just a few days,” AFP reports.
Said Putin: “Yesterday, another test was conducted for another prospective system – the unmanned underwater device ‘Poseidon’, also equipped with a nuclear power unit.”
“The Russian leader said there was ‘no way to intercept’ the drone torpedo, which, according to Putin, can travel at a speed higher than conventional submarines and reach any continent in the world.”
