Military observer Butyrin called Poseidon a weapon without analogues

The Poseidon underwater vehicle with a nuclear power plant has no analogues in the world and is capable of changing the balance of power, military commentator Alexander Butyrin said on October 30.

"You and I have witnessed the consistent use of a power plant, which was first tested on a new Burevestnik rocket, and now on an unmanned vehicle," the expert said in an interview with RT.

He stressed that Poseidon can move at great depths and distances, which makes it difficult for radars to detect. According to Butyrin, this device "significantly changes the balance of power" and complicates the situation for Russia's opponents.

Earlier, on October 29, the former commander of the Northern Fleet, Admiral Vyacheslav Popov, said that Poseidon surpasses all land-based and sea-based strategic ballistic missiles in the world in terms of its impact on the enemy. According to him, the unique characteristics of the underwater vehicle make it not only a powerful deterrent, but also a factor radically changing the strategic balance.
