The Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that the Russian submarine "Poseidon" test "has achieved a huge success", with no similar equipment in the world, the submarine currently "can not be intercepted", according to Russian media reports, "Poseidon" intercontinental submarine using nuclear-powered devices can navigate at high speed in the deep sea, can launch torpedoes with nuclear warheads. British media said the news of the success of the "Poseidon" test was concerned by the West, because this "Ultimate Weapons" has almost unlimited capacity to navigate, can break existing counter-system. US President Trump said on the 30th through the media, "because other countries are conducting relevant tests", he has ordered the Pentagon to "immediately" launch a heavy nuclear test. Many concerns

Putin recently announced that the "Haiyan" cruise missile has completed a "decisive test."The image is a video capture of the launch of a nuclear-powered intercontinental cruise missile released by Russia in 2018.

Far more powerful than "sarmat"

According to the news of the Russian presidential website on the 29th, Putin went to the Central Military Clinical Hospital "Mandereka" in Moscow on the same day to visit the Russian soldiers wounded in the special military operation. Putin said that the Russian nuclear-powered unmanned submarine "Posejun" has been tested, the Russian side has for the first time successfully fired "Posejun" from the submarine with a "start-up engine" and opened the nuclear-powered device to let the submarine sail for a while.

Putin said that the power of "Poseidon" far exceeds that of Russia's most promising intercontinental ballistic missile "sarmat". Putin mentioned that not long ago, Russia successfully test-fired the latest cruise missile "Haiyan" with a nuclear power plant and unlimited flight distance. "The most important thing is that ordinary nuclear reactors take hours, days or weeks to start, but the nuclear reactor of Haiyan missile can start in minutes and seconds. This is a great achievement." Putin pointed out that the above technology can also be used in the national economy. In the future, it can be used to solve energy security problems in the Arctic region or to implement the lunar program.

Russian presidential press secretary Peskov said on the 30th that the "Porsche Winter" submarine represents a new technology and is an important step to enhance the national defense capabilities, he said, such technology prospects are broad, breakthrough, and has potential for application in other areas of the economy.

Russia's "Izvestia" commented that "Poseidon" has become a part of Russia's latest "Trinity" strategic weapon system together with "sarmat" and "Haiyan". Perminov, a member of the Russian Federation Council (upper house), said that the successful tests of "Poseidon" and "Haiyan" have reserved a powerful force for Russia's national security in the coming decades.

Send another signal to America.

The news of the successful "Poseidon" test quickly attracted the attention of all parties. Many Western media reported under the title "Russia tests a super weapon capable of creating tsunamis with radioactive materials", claiming that the nuclear-tipped torpedo carried by "Poseidon" was detonated offshore and could create tsunamis tens of meters high.

"Russia conducted two nuclear weapons tests in a week amid a deadlock in Russia-Ukraine ceasefire talks." Euronews Channel mentioned on the 30th that Russia regards these two "super weapons" as a response to the United States 'vigorous development of a missile defense system. The British "Daily Express" said that the design concept of the "Poseidon" unmanned submersible vehicle originated from the former Soviet Union, when the Soviet Union planned to develop a weapon that could make coastal cities in the United States uninhabitable areas.

According to the British Daily Telegraph, the Russian side advanced the development of "Poseidon", on the one hand, because the former President of the United States George W. Bush in 2001 unilaterally announced the withdrawal from the Treaty on Anti-Ballistic Missiles signed by the USSR in 1972 and advanced the construction of missile defense systems, and on the other hand, the continued expansion of NATO to the east.

Ukraine's "RBC.UA" news network said on the 29th that Russia's announcement came just after the United States imposed new sanctions on its oil companies and was aimed at exerting pressure on Western countries and obstructing Western military aid to Ukraine. Some Ukrainian military experts believe that "Poseidon" makes European countries even more afraid.

The Associated Press said that Russia's latest announcement on weapons seems to be "another signal" to the US government that Moscow will not easily give up its demands on the Ukrainian issue. Russia's "Business Online" website said that Russia had previously proposed that Russia and the United States return to the strategic stability dialogue, but the United States has not yet responded. The news that Russia announced the latest weapons test at this time may be to urge the United States to sit at the strategic stability dialogue table.

Russian troops surround the "Donetsk Gate"

On the 29th, while announcing the success of the Poseidon test, Putin mentioned that the situation in the front line was favorable to Russia and the Russian military was actively advancing. He said that in Kupiyansk and Pokrovsk "enemy forces have fallen into a circle."Putin stressed that the Russian military is willing to temporarily cease fire in the above-mentioned areas for 2 to 6 hours, so that foreign and Ukrainian journalists can safely enter and conduct field interviews, "checking the situation of the surrounded Ukrainian troops."

Although the Ukrainian military has denied that Koupiansk and Pokrovsk are both surrounded by Russian troops, the Ukrainian military forces responsible for defending Pokrovsk confirmed that the Russian side has deployed about 11,000 soldiers and surrounded the city. The US New York Times cited informed sources on 29 said that the Russian side had erupted in a fierce street battle in Pokrovsk. The Ukrainian intelligence organization DeepState warned on 30 that the situation in Pokrovsk could not be rescued and the Ukrainian military would be difficult to guard.

The website of Russia's weekly "Arguments and Facts" stated on the 30th that the situation around Kupyansk has become very critical for the Ukrainian army. The report quoted military experts as saying that more than 5000 Ukraine soldiers were trapped in Kupyansk, in critical condition, and tried to surrender.

Reuters said that Pokrovsk is known as the "gateway to Donetsk" and Kupyansk is an important railway hub in Kharkiv Oblast in northeastern Ukraine. The media analysis said that controlling Pokrovsk can not only provide the Russian army with a strategic platform to fully control Donetsk Oblast, but can also help it further disrupt supplies on the eastern front line of Ukraine.
