Russia has taken a bold step to showcase its power by launching a new nuclear submarine named Khabarovsk. This submarine is specifically built to carry the 'Poseidon' nuclear drone, ominously dubbed as the 'Missile of Doom.' The threat posed by these drones is so immense that they can eradicate entire coastal countries. This launch marks a pivotal move in strengthening Russia's maritime defenses.
Khabarovsk stands as a formidable nuclear-powered missile cruiser. Tailored to operate completely underwater, this submarine is an integral asset to Russia's naval fleet. Designed by the Central Design Bureau of Marine Engineering Rubin in Russia, it is an embodiment of cutting-edge ingenuity.

Main Mission: This advanced submarine's primary role involves the deployment of underwater weaponry and robotic systems.
The standout feature is its role as the primary carrier for the Poseidon nuclear drone, named 'Canyon' by NATO. Far from an ordinary torpedo, this nuclear-powered underwater drone moves at astonishing speeds of 186 km/hr, traversing deep oceanic and intercontinental distances. Russian officials claim that the drones can induce radioactive tsunamis, devastating coastal regions.

Belousov declared on television that today marks a significant milestone for us. The massive nuclear submarine Khabarovsk is being launched from Sevmash's stern. Notably, Sevmash Shipyards have previously upgraded the INS Vikramaditya aircraft carrier for India. Following its launch, the submarine is primed for testing.
Russia has excelled in crafting Khabarovsk. Let's unveil its key features...
Nuclear Power: Equipped with a nuclear reactor, it can remain submerged for extended periods.
Weapon Systems: Embedded with underwater weapons and robotic systems, it will safeguard Russia's maritime boundaries and protect national interests in global oceans.
Poseidon Drone: This drone will be launched from the submarine. Recently tested by Russia, President Vladimir Putin shared that it was launched from a mother-submarine, housing a nuclear power plant 100 times smaller than a strategic submarine's reactor.
Swift and Deep: The Poseidon surpasses submarines and torpedoes in speed, capable of covering intercontinental distances in deep seas. Dmitry Medvedev, Russian Security Council's Deputy Chairman, hailed it as the 'Doomsday Missile.' The Duma Defense Committee's Chair Andrei Kartapolov noted its capacity to obliterate entire coastal countries.
Last week, Russia successfully tested Poseidon after the Burvestnik missile test, all to demonstrate Russia's nuclear prowess.
In contemporary times, maritime conflicts are escalating. Amidst the Ukraine war, Russia is bolstering its navy. With submarines like Khabarovsk, Russia's capabilities expand...
Border Security: Russia's maritime borders will be fortified.
National Interests: Russian interests in global oceans are protected.
Weapons of Deterrence: Drones like Poseidon induce fear in adversaries, introducing a novel approach to nuclear deterrence.
