Russian Navy?
That’s the very least of our worries.
As opposed to those miniature nuclear torpedoes that are often talked about.
That photo reminds me of Thunderbirds.
“FAB!”
US media and deep-state propaganda likes to portray Russia as a bankrupt, alcoholic nation, living under the boot of Putin and his thugs.
People like that are incapable of developing hypersonic missiles, nuclear torpedos, portable nuclear reactors, and such.
Russians are a highly intelligent and highly organized people - and Putin is attempting to revive their traditional culture and religion, free from the influence of globalism and wokeism.
My fear is most people in Washington DC believe their own propaganda and will make some very stupid mistakes.
Okay. I read the article. What does USNI have their panties in a snit about?
It says it is a “Intercontinental Nuclear-Powered Nuclear-Armed Autonomous Torpedo”
So I guess the sub launches the thing which, nuclear powered, can cruise around for a long time autonomously, and if commanded, can launch some kind of SUBROC type of airborne IBCM or cruise missile?
Is it diesel-powered, like their only carrier?

The sub that carries that torpedo is enormous! Reminds me of the story about the Russians shadowing the USS Triton. Triton was the one-off designed nuke boat that circumnavigated the world submerged with Captain Ed Beach in command. Triton was mothballed because her tactical utility was just about nil.
They don’t have to use any weapons on the U.S. we have democrats in charge of things white flags being made.
The Russian Navy isn’t going to do anything. 😣
