Russian nuclear monster that could bring an end to the world

The existence of this <x0drine” which is believed to be a “system Status-6”, also known to “The last day of the world in Putin's hands”, was confirmed by the Russian president himself during the annual speech before the nation, held in Moscow last month.

Experts say an underwater bomb of 50 megatons could create tsunami waves up to 97m high, while “Status-6” is claimed to have a 100 megawatt nuclear head.

“Status-6” is also reported to have a 6,200 mile radius of action (9.978 km), moves at a maximum speed of 56 knots (103.7 km/h) and has the capacity to hold radiation heads to the United States.

In his March 1st speech, Putin said that “drone” of high speed also has a <x2-continctical radius” and is able to hold a nuclear head that can simultaneously target aircraft carriers and coastal targets.

He said the wide operational range and its high speed could make it immune to the interception by enemies, adding that “is simply amazing”.

Physicians and nuclear weapons researcher Rex Richardson told “Business Insider” that a nuclear head thrown from this “drone” underwater could destroy coastal cities.

A highly productive nuclear weapon in the rank of 20-50 megatons near a coastal country would release enough energy to cause a tsunami similar to that of 2011 in Japan, where nearly 16 thousand people died, perhaps even more. Tsunami waves could reach 100m”, he said.

Richardson adds that if such an underwater nuclear bomb were dropped off the coast of the United States, it could cause catastrophic damage to cities like Los Angeles or San Diego, due to radioactive rains.

“Status-6” was just one of the new nuclear weapons President Putin chose to announce and confirm that his tests had been passed over the past few months. In his speech on the nation's situation, Putin said that the arsenal included a “cruise” nuclear warheads, a new hypersonic missile, and showed video launching of an interctine ballistic missile on a giant screen behind it.

During the speech, Putin said the creation of new weapons has made NATO's US-led anti-missile defence system <x0 useless”, thus implying the end of what he described as the Western “efforts to undermine Russia's development”.
