 Russia Developing New Nuclear Submarines Underwater Drones, SHUIGU Novel Concepts for Submarines and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles as well as robotic systems are being developed for the Russian Navy, Defense Minister Sergei Shiaigu said at a meeting at the Russian Pacific Fleet headquarters. Today we are actively working on designing multi-purpose nuclear submarines, robotic systems and unmanned underwater vehicles, he said at the meeting. Shiaigu checked the fulfilment of state procurement contracts at the Zvezda Submarine Shipyard in Bolshoi, Karman and the Progress Helicopter Plant in Arsenyev. Later, the top Russian military official went to the Russian Pacific Fleet headquarters to hold a meeting summing up the production results of military industrial enterprises in the Far East. It should be noted that Russia has finished building its first batch of nuclear-capable underwater drone torpedoes, nicknamed Poseidon. Poseidon is NATO's name for Russia's status-six, oceanic multi-purpose system, a new kind of underwater drone capable of carrying both nuclear and conventional warheads. Little is actually known about the mysterious weapon and its capabilities. President Vladimir Putin first revealed the torpedoes to the world during a 2018 presentation to the Federal Assembly, Russia's legislative body. Poseidon is said to use nuclear-powered engines to drive it. Thank you for watching.
