Russia’s New ‘Nuclear Torpedo’ Can Create Giant Tsunamis And Wipe Out Entire Coastal Cities

While the eyes of the world are on ISIS, Russia is creating weapons unlike anything the world has ever seen before. Plans for a giant self-propelled nuclear torpedo that can create a giant tsunami more than 1,000 feet tall were recently "leaked by mistake" by the Russian media. Apparently the warheads on these torpedos are designed to create so much radiation "that everything living will be killed" - including those that try to survive the attack by hiding in underground shelters. These "robotic mini-submarines" would have a range of up to 10,000 kilometers and would be able to evade all existing U.S. detection systems. To say that such a weapon would be a "game changer" would be a massive understatement.

I know that you are not just going to take my word for any of this. So like I do in all of my articles, I am going to carefully document what I am saying.

The reason why we know about the plans for this new nuclear torpedo is because they were displayed on Russian state television for a few moments during a recent broadcast. According to Russian officials, this was an "accident".

"Secret plans for a new Russian nuclear torpedo system have been shown on state-controlled television in what the Kremlin said was an accident.

A close-up of a confidential document detailing "Ocean Multipurpose System: Status'6 was broadcast for several seconds by Channel One Russia and NTV during coverage of a meeting between Vladimir Putin and military officials."

War or the possibility of such always brings out the best in weapon development!

Thank you Obama!!

1,000 foot tidal wave??? How many megatons would that require?

[Norm Lenhart]

Any nuke that could create such an explosion to create a 1000 foot wave that could wipe out the east coast would scatter tiny chunks of what used to be earth throughout the solar system.

In short, SCi-fi, not reality.

[Red Badger]

Not as much as you would think.........................

[McGruff]

If we had one we could take care of those islands China created instead of playing chicken with them.

[achilles2000]

Exactly.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Not sure how germane that is to the claims of the lede article, which speaks of coastal cities.

1,000 foot tidal wave??? How many megatons would that require?

That and the radiation claim are both preposterous.

[sefarkas]

Does Reagan’s SDI sound familiar? Accident my (%*#%#.

[DoughtyOne]

The fallacy of that is on a number of levels.

As you state, the megatonage would have to be yuge. Then you'd have to consider the unintended consequences. Tsunamis aren't exact targetable.

You set off a thousand food tsunami in one place, you've just started 500ft, 300ft, 100ft tsunamis in other places.

China has a habit of saying some of the most outlandish things, and now it seems Russia has caught the itch.

Baloney.

After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.

Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

Gadzooks! What ever Michael Snyder is smoking... the Obamanation appears to be smoking it, too--

[gaijin]

Ridiculous.

Reads like something out of Tehran.

I love these wacko ideas. Oooh, let’s design a nuclear torpedo that will wipe out entire coastal cities with really massive tidal waves.

But wait, wouldn’t that same bomb vaporize most of the targeted city? Aren’t you actually limiting the radiation fallout by having it explode underwater? And really, tsunamis are not the most effective population or infrastructure destroyers. And of course, the techniques and technology to deliver such a nuke by air is far more a known element than some mysterious underwater torpedo delivery. I think the last public release of data from the US mainline torpedos indicates only a 5% chance of catastrophic failure of the delivery system.

I’d certainly feel more comfortable with tsunami torpedos than your average submarine launched ICBM.

[Zathras]

No Superpower has ever detonated a multi-megaton warhead in deep water.
Crossroads Baker scared people so bad they abandoned 20kt deep water shot till I think Wigwam.

A 25MT device detonated just inside the Continental shelf could possibly create such an event.

[Hatteras]

Pretty cool James Bond villain idea though....

"...Russia's New 'Nuclear Torpedo' Can Create Giant Tsunamis And Wipe Out Entire Coastal Cities..."

sukhoi-30mki, is that you? (LOL, just teasing...:)

[gwgn02]

Why chance it with an underwater torpedo? Why not just use a nuclear air burst device and achieve a better result that is already proven technology? Article is pretty funny.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

1000 foot tidal wave is an awful lot of water. Is it 10 foot wide?

[HiTech RedNeck]

I went to this page http://alabamaquake.com/energy.html which rates earthquakes in terms of various other energy measures. A 5.0 quake on the Richter scale is 617 Hiroshima bombs (A-bombs, whereas modern bombs are H-bombs).

A full coastal inundation would be implausible, but a city? Another story. Wanting to unleash such a doomsday bomb is an issue of itself. Probably not even Russia would want that. But, they are tame compared with modern jihadist madness.
