RUSSIA'S "city killer" submarine has set sail for the first time packed with nuclear drones capable of triggering monster tsunamis.
The 604ft Belgorod - which is twice the size of the Royal Navy's Astute-class attack subs - reportedly took to the sea for the first time on Friday.
The 14,700-tonne war machine bristles with nuclear-tipped underwater drone torpedoes - each guided by artificial intelligence.
The secretive launch came after Vladimir Putin's navy vowed to sink British warships the next time they sail too close to Crimea.
The war talk followed a face-off in the Black Sea where HMS Defender was accused of making a "deliberate provocation" by the Kremlin as it entered waters deemed to be Russian territory.
Experts fear the Belgorod's huge torpedoes could be detonated underwater sparking 300ft high waves which could devastate coastal cities.
The giant sub is reportedly operated on behalf of the nation's secretive Main Directorate of Undersea Research and is thought to be fitted with up to eight nuclear-armed torpedoes.
Each of the 79ft weapons is capable of carrying warheads with an explosive power of two megatons.

I’m confident that it’s more dangerous to its crewmen than anyone else.
There will be an attack sub tailing it 24/7/365.
Analysts have a perfect track record of greatly inflating the supposed capabilities of foreign weapons systems.
They must just read the manufacturer’s brochures.
All US subs have been reassigned to hunting down and destroying Global Warming

I give it 6 weeks until it blows itself up and sinks.

Yeah, but our sailors have checked their privilege, so there.
Was General Milley present at the launch?
Closely followed by a boat filled with old hippies with surfboards.
“Catch a torpedo and you’re sitting on top of the world.”
It has state of the art screen doors.
They christened it the Kursk II.
Well, they can just launch their nuclear torpedoes and we’ won’t invite them to the Midnight Chocolate Buffet.
Most of you a-holes are STILL talking crap on the Russians and the Chinese! Holy shiite! Have you see OUR navy lately? You arrogant fools! Keep talking and making jokes.
You must have observed the freak show our military academies have bee producing.
