## Key points

- Russia is testing a submarine built to carry six Poseidon nuclear torpedoes.
- Khabarovsk would strengthen Moscow’s underwater nuclear deterrent.
- Tsunami claims describe extreme, speculative nuclear-war scenarios.

## Summary

Russia has begun sea trials of the Khabarovsk, a new nuclear-powered submarine designed to carry Poseidon nuclear torpedoes. The development matters because it would expand Moscow’s nuclear deterrent with an underwater weapon system intended for extreme conflict scenarios and difficult to intercept.

The article says the 135-metre, 10,000-ton vessel could carry six Poseidon torpedoes, compared with three on Russia’s existing Belgorod submarine. It reports that each torpedo has a nuclear reactor, long range and an estimated two-megaton warhead, though claims about radioactive tsunamis and Britain being rendered uninhabitable are presented as speculative and highly contested consequences of nuclear use. The submarine is being tested in the White Sea before an expected deployment to Russia’s Pacific Fleet.
