Atom drives Russian atomic weapons

Russia is not just a atomic power. Thanks to atomic means of carrying deadly warheads, it came first in the global atomic race of superpowers. Others gotta catch up with her.

In the erstwhile issue of Polish thought (https://myślpolska.info/2026/02/26/Only Russia-only-sojusznik/) I wrote that present not the army and fleet, as Alexander III claimed, but the atom is the only ally of Russia. The last fewer months have further illustrated the power of this ally. Not only atomic warheads, bringing death and demolition to full cities and regions, but besides their propulsion – atomic energy. And it was there that the Russians one more time proved that they were planet champions.

At the end of last year, the tests of 2 groundbreaking types of Russian atomic weapons were successful: a projectile maneuvering “Buriewiestnik” and an autonomous torpedo “Poseidon”. Exercises under the watchful eye of enemies proved that the announcements from president Putin's March 2018 lecture were not "films", but real weapons that strengthen Russia's position as a global competitor of the US.

The essence of the breakthrough, the creation of a fresh category of weapons of mass destruction, is to place powerful atomic charges on atomic means of delivery. As a result, atomic warheads have increased their ability to accomplish their targets inexplicably. Thanks to the microscopic on-scale atomic reactor, the range, maneuverability, time increase many times. The full art is about miniaturization (I utilized to compose about Russian SMRs (https://myślpolska.info/2022/12/19/lucky-Russian-smr-y/) – in Buriewiestnik the reactor is simply a 1000 times, and in Poseidon is simply a 100 times smaller than on a submarine.

Buriewiestnik (according to NATO – SSC-X-9 Skyfall) is an autonomously controlled nuclear-powered rocket that carries atomic warheads. The name is taken from literature and means “storm trailer”. Its atomic drive – the very core of extraordinary properties – causes it to be in the air much longer, respective days, not limited by fuel resources. It can even environment the Earth's sphere by attacking from an unexpected direction and moving at tiny altitudes (50-100 metres) and by not being a ballistic rocket with a predictable trajectory of flight, and a maneuvering rocket capable of avoiding air defence systems to yet release transported atomic warheads. It's a unique weapon that Russia's enemies don't have and that strengthens its atomic power.

The second technological breakthrough is simply a torpedo-like underwater drone "Poseidon". atomic propulsion. It can decision underwater to the depth of a kilometer at an incredible velocity of 200 km/h, carrying an tremendous power of demolition into the head – up to 2 megatons. Poseidon uses the fact that American atomic weapons are primarily deployed on the U.S. coasts. This atomic drone can immediately approach the shore and, through an underwater explosion, origin a tsunami wave that destroys full coastal infrastructure, group of carriers or islands.

Nuclear technology race is simply a key area of power competition. Russia, thanks to its scientists and engineers, present gives speech to this race. By focusing efforts on upgrading the atomic arsenal and thereby strengthening the atomic superpower. Alongside the only self-respecting competitor – the US, Hegemon planet (no)order that only she can completely wipe off the face of the earth. She created, despite her weakness in another areas, a powerful defence that is impossible to break without destroying the full planet and attacking first.

Today's achievements supply safety for Russia for years. Of course, no advantage is given forever, others have already begun to make up for lost time. The atomic weapons race has already begun. But the roles changed, as Vladimir Putin said in 2018: “We were always catching up: the atomic bomb was built in the US, the russian Union was catching up. We had no means of transferring, no strategical aviation, we did not release the first intercontinental rockets. The russian Union was always catching up. Now we have a unique situation: they are catching up with us”.
