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.

Heh! Indeed.
Almost on a personal level. An annoying social media attention whore I know was virtue signaling for pride month, and I don't know if her son is gay or not, but she had almost a dozen pics of him and his fellow seme--I mean, seamen--with rainbow flags and I think she zoom called (they are the chi com video app) her son for the occasion! This is what they are doing in the Navy.
I wonder what she will say when they sink all of our carriers in the Pacific?
Too late for New York.
Several.
Which may be the point. Tie up assets to keep track of it allowing other subs to get less attention.
(Translated from Russian)
“Are you sure the American taskforce is there?”
“Yes, sir! My Gaydar is the best in the fleet.”
Reliable Russia, producing talk about doomsday devices for over 60 years.
i think the destructive capabilities of this Russian sub are being greatly exaggerated.
Nuke drones AKA torpedos.
nukedrone-nukedrone-doopity-doo. Ive got another riddle for you.
Russia, Russia, Russia.
Yawn.

He Draws the moon towards him
With a wand of whales’ bone
The submarine magician is returning to his home
His slow hair floats around him
And his cloak spreads like a flower
The submariner has the oceans in his power
Green finned demon take me down
Green finned demon take me down
He speaks the bubbling language
Of everything that swims
He knows the eightfold secret
Of the Octopus’s limbs
His skin is silver scales
And his hair is green as weed
His eyes are phosphorescent
A sea-horse for his steed
Green finned demon take me down
Green finned demon take me down
Captain Nemo knew him
In his underwater deep
He understands the meaning
Of the dolphins’ joyful leap
Green finned demon take me down
The 70 knot claim is for the torpedo.
Russian submarines tend to mostly threaten themselves.
LOLOL That struck me as funny......*BOOM*
