“If the drone can travel 6,000 miles........”
This is Putin’s arse licking media propaganda. The nuke drone prolly has a much lower range of say 500 miles. If nothing else, then for better communication between the drone and the submarine.
My guess, if deployed, it will fail and possibly even detonate in Russian waters. But who knows? The Kinzhal missile appears to be operationally successful.
“a doomsday device designed to trigger a 1,600ft nuclear tsunami”
Another thing that I pointed out before is that a Tsunami is a disturbance and that the water at the source of the Tsunami is NOT the same water that washes up on the beach, unless the Tsunami source is right next to the beach...and in that case it won’t be anything close to 1600 feet. From a quick look on the web, the energy released in Japan’s 2011 Tsunami was about 1/3 of this device, so it will be a bit worse than Japan’s Tsunami, which would still be a bad day for many Northeastern cities, but then again...
