US EditionPutin Says Russia's Nuclear-Armed Underwater Drone Was Tested Successfully
Poseidon, a nuclear-powered underwater drone with a warhead more powerful than Russia's Sarmat missile, was tested running on nuclear power for the first time, Putin said.

- This announcement marks a second provocative nuclear weapons test within days, following the launch of the Burevestnik missile, which elicited warnings from U.S. President Donald Trump.
