A top-of-the-line Russian nuclear-powered submarine has gone missing from its harbor in the Arctic along with its rumored "doomsday weapon," according to multiple reports.

NATO has reportedly warned members that Russia's Belgorod submarine no longer appeared to be operating out of its White Sea base, where it has been active since July. Officials warned that Russia may plan to test Belgorod's "Poseidon" weapons system, a drone equipped with a nuclear bomb that Russia has claimed is capable of creating a "radioactive tsunami," according to Italian media.

The drone can be deployed from the submarine at any time and detonated at a depth of 1 kilometer near a coastal city. Russian state media has claimed the device can create a 1,600-ft. wave that smashes into the coast and irradiates it.

I don’t know if it’s this particular submarine. But I heard that a Russian sub recently went aground off the New England coast.

IIRC, A missing fighter jet is called a “Broken Arrow”.

What term is used for a missing Submarine???

[Vermont Lt]

I am sure there are eyes on it from just about every direction.

Would be a shame if something bad happened to that sub.

That and Crimson Tide were good movies. I liked the October better though.

[pepsionice]

On my BS meter, this is a ‘7’.

[ConservativeInPA]

Can a drone defect?

[EEGator]

I thought a broken arrow was a missing nuke?

Its 50/50 with Russian subs as to whether they are on attack patrol or sunk in the harbor.

Ooops?

[Afterguard]

Actually, Broken Arrow is the code word for a lost/missing nuclear weapon.

If the Rooskies were patient, glo-bull warming caused sea rise will take care of things.

Quick do! Somebody call admiral Arnold Morgan!

[SaveFerris]

It is

Again, Andre?

 

[BenLurkin]

At least they had the good sense to not attempt Russian accents. What it detracts from immersion it offests in overall production value.

Well, the Kursk was top-of-the-line, too.

So is the Russian aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov. Well, top-of-the-line by Russian standards, anyway.

[EEGator]

Thanks, I thought I was going loopy.

“We know where every Russian submarine is.”

I would expect us to.

I think it’s wrong to “induce fear” at every turn...as part of the Dem agenda.
