Pentagon Confirms Russia's Thermonuclear Submarine Bomb Is Real
The Pentagon has confirmed that a new Russian nuclear delivery drone is real
. The undersea drone, which carries an enormous nuclear warhead to destroy
coastal cities and military bases, was tested late last month. The test was
leaked by unnamed sources to The Washington Free Beacon.
Russia calls the system "Ocean Multipurpose System 'Status-6," and it is
allegedly capable of traveling underwater to distances of to 6,200 miles. It
can submerge to depths of 3,280 feet and travel at speeds of up to 56 knots.
The U.S. intelligence agencies estimate Status-6 will carry a multi-megaton
thermonuclear bomb payload. For comparisons' sake the bomb dropped on
Hiroshima was 16 kilotons, several orders of magnitude smaller. A one
megaton bomb is the equivalent of 1,000 kilotons-one one million tons of TNT
. Reports from Russia indicate the bomb could be as large as 100 megatons.
Status-6 is designed to attack enemy coastal cities, ports, shipyards, and
naval bases. Once Status-6 arrives at its destination it detonates the bomb,
causing an enormous amount of damage through blast and heat. A 100 megaton
bomb would generate artificial tsunamis, carrying the destruction far
inshore.
As bad as that sounds, it gets even worse. Reports from Russia indicate the
bomb could be armed with a "salted bomb", or one that "salts the Earth" with
the dangerous isotope Cobalt-60. Such a bomb could spread such high levels
of radioactivity it would prevent anyone from using the attack zone for
approximately 100 years. Depending on location and prevailing weather
conditions, such an explosion would also carry vast amounts of radiation
inland.
The existence of Status-6 was originally greeted with some skepticism-the
weapon sounds so horrible, so devastating, and so completely over the top it
is difficult to process that someone would actually want to build such a
thing. Unfortunately for all of mankind, it appears that it is very real. |
