PUTIN’S chief propagandist has warned Russia could wipe out both coasts of the US with its Poseidon torpedoes.

Vladimir Solovyov stated on state television that deploying the nuclear-powered drones—intended to cause a “radioactive tsunami”—would signify “the end” for America.

Addressing a potential reaction to “Western aggression” on state-operated Russia-1 channel, Solovyov cautioned: “Would Trump understand that two Poseidons, launched from different directions, could obliterate the US and trigger a radioactive catastrophe?”

“That would be the end – nothing will save them.”

Referring to US missile defense systems, he said: “No protective element will help them”.

Solovyov suggested Washington underestimates Russia’s capabilities, adding it would face dire consequences if it escalates tensions.

The Poseidon, also known as Status-6, is a Russian nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed underwater drone designed to attack coastal infrastructure.

The Poseidon is said to be capable of diving miles beneath the ocean surface and traveling unmanned at speeds of up to 62mph.

Pentagon analysts, who refer to the weapon as “Kanyon,” believe it is designed to carry a thermonuclear warhead with “tens of megatons” of explosive capacity.

The torpedo is therefore considered capable of creating a “radioactive tsunami” – an underwater nuclear blast powerful enough to flood and contaminate large swaths of coastline.

Pro-Putin state TV presenter Dmitry Kiselyov said in 2022 that detonating such a torpedo near the British coast could trigger a 1640-ft tsunami that would flood the coastline with radioactive seawater.

Some experts warn that the Poseidon could unleash a tsunami as devastating as the one that killed 20,000 people in Japan and crippled the Fukushima nuclear plant in 2011.

But others remain sceptical about the torpedo’s ability to trigger a tsunami.

This isn’t the first time Solovyov has made threats about Russia using nuclear weapons against the West.

Solovyov is known for his staunch support of Putin’s policies, including Russia’s war in Ukraine, which he openly promotes on his prime-time show Evening with Vladimir Solovyov.

On the eve of Russia‘s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, he was sanctioned by the EU and banned from entering its member states.

Solovyov at the time said: “Today is the day that a righteous operation was launched for the de-Nazification in Ukraine.”

After proposals by some EU countries to ban tourist visas for Russians, he suggested missile strikes on Berlin, Paris, London and Brussels in August 2022.

Solovyov’s comments come as Russia launched its largest air assault on Ukraine, with 728 drones and hypersonic missiles.

Key targets of the bombardment were Lutsk and Ternopil in the West of Ukraine, which triggered an emergency response from Nato forces in neighbouring Poland.

Both Polish and other Western air force warplanes were scrambled as a defensive measure during the Putin strikes.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump slammed Putin for talking “bull****” about the Ukraine war and making “meaningless” promises.

Trump reiterated that he was “very unhappy” with Putin, claiming their phone call last week made no progress on the Ukraine peace deal.
