Russian defense systems "Poseidon" and "Burevestnik" are years ahead of foreign counterparts. The "Poseidon" underwater drone and the "Burevestnik" cruise missile with a nuclear power plant are not just new weapons, but groundbreaking engineering solutions that set a new bar in strategic technologies. This was stated by Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev in an interview with the "Vesti" program.
This [the "Poseidon" underwater drone and the "Burevestnik" cruise missile] is an advanced technical solution. It is a solution that our opponents will not reach anytime soon.
The statement came against the backdrop of the successful launch of the Sarmat ICBM, which was previously reported to Vladimir Putin by the Commander of the Strategic Missile Forces, Sergey Karakaev. The first regiment armed with this complex will go on combat duty by the end of the year. Experts note that the combination of new carriers and unique warheads forms a qualitatively new level of deterrence.
The technical implementation of "Burevestnik" with a small-sized nuclear reactor and "Poseidon" with autonomous movement to great depths requires solutions in the fields of materials science, radiation protection, and navigation systems – areas where Russia today demonstrates stable leadership.
