In conversation with "Tape.<url>" military analyst Alexei Leonkov gave an assessment of the Russian atomic torpedoes "Poseidon", calling them a weapon capable of leading to the complete destruction of an entire state.

The expert recalled that these devices cannot be detected by tracking means, and their trajectory makes interception almost impossible, which causes serious concerns in the The Pentagon. And the recent entry into the sea of the Khabarovsk submarine, which is a regular carrier of Poseidons, confirms that the system is in a high degree of readiness.

Leonkov also commented on the US plans to create bottom minefields designed to block the path of torpedoes. In his opinion, such tactics are doomed to failure. It is enough for one "Poseidon" to detonate mines so that the rest can pass unhindered to the intended objects.

EADaily previously also informed that the West commented on the launch of the Russian nuclear-powered Khabarovsk.
