Poseidon Torpedo: NSDC reacted to media reports about the movement of nuclear weapons of the Russian Federation

Information on the disappearance from the base of the atomic cruiser "Belgorod" increases information terrorism from Russia, assured at the Center for Combating Misinformation. Information on the disappearance from the base of the Russian underwater atomic cruiser "Belgorod", which is the carrier of the Torpeda "Poseidon", cannot be confirmed at the moment, but the very fact of its publication in the media can play on the Kremlin's hand.

This conclusion on Monday, October 3, was reached by the Center for Clearing Misinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. The CPD reminded that for the first time information about the disappearance of the submarine "Belgorod" was published by the Italian newspaper La Repubblica - journalists referred in their material to the non -public report of NATO intelligence.

The publication stated that "Putin seems to be close to the increase in the level of nuclear confrontation" because, according to the publication, the mission of the submarine "Belgorod", noticed in the Arctic waters - for the first "Judgment Day".

However, as the NSDC monitoring at the NSDC showed, as of October 3, the NATO website information on the movement of the Belgorod atomic submarine with Poseidon torpedo was not published; NATO regularly captures the activity of Russian courts since the Cold War; NATO reported in 2016. "Such unreasonable statements from the media only intensify information terrorism," the Center said.

The K-329 submarine "Belgorod was developed by the Russian Federation against the background of tensions with the United States and came into service with the Navy of Russia on July 8, 2022. The ship is the longest submarine in the world-this is due to the placement on it reconnaissance information. For its part, the Superpad was designed to bypass the infrared satellite surveillance system.
