Russia's new nuclear drone submarine could be capable of causing 300ft-high tsunamis, able to wipe out coastal cities, experts say. The existence of the drone, believed to be the Status-6 system - also known as 'Putin's doomsday machine' - was confirmed by the Russian President himself in his annual state-of-the-nation speech in Moscow last month. Experts say a 50 megaton underwater nuclear bomb would be able to create tsunami waves reaching more than 320ft - the 'Status-6' is allegedly able to carry a 100 megaton warhead.

Some Russian politicians might have gotten the idea of broadcasting fear with talk about a cobalt bomb “doomsday device” from the part with the Russian Ambassador in the “Dr. Strangelove” movie. Or maybe they got it from their predecessors.

I doubt the existence of such a weapon but I do not doubt that anyone can put a cruise missile sized nuke within a conventionally sized torpedo.

If the Russians wiped out all the Democrat-run coastal cities, I wouldn’t miss them.

The "doomsday machine" was real and became operational during the waning stages of the Cold War.

Send it to space, as a defensive weapon Mr. Putin. It has no logical place on Earth.

A question might be:
What coastal cities are not run by liberals?

House Atreides says bull crap! And House Harkonnen says,

Russia's new nuclear drone submarine could be capable of causing 300ft-high tsunamis, able to wipe out coastal cities, experts say. Great weapon.
I seem to recall that something like 70 or 80% of the worlds population lives within 50 miles of the oceans coast.

these doomsday weapons of last resort exist in name and hype only. it’s what an ultimate deterrent weapon is all about.
To: familyop
Silly article this is, though technologically correct. We can do the exact same but Russia has few seacoast cities of importance with the exception of St. Petersburg. Our response would be multiple 250 kiloton weapons across Russia.
Amusing article for the ill informed this is..

Never underestimate the power of the human mind to believe what it wants to believe, no matter the conflicting evidence. Hence we have people that believe Obama was a good president.
And a natural born citizen of the United States.
