In August 2007, Russian scientists and military for studies of the Lomonosov Range in the Arctic Ocean used a deep-water descent “Clavsine-1R”, on the basis of which the autonomous uninhabited underwater apparatus “Clavsine-2r-PM” was developed, recalls “Star “.
Weekly notes that when mapping the bottom of the Ocean “Clavsine-1R” was removed from the side of the atomic icebreaker “Russia” by 15 kilometers, while under water during first 21 hours, and then – 10. “Problems with return to the place of descent is not It was even taking into account the fact that as a result of the ice drift, an atomic icebreaker attracted 12 kilometers away, “writes a weekly.
The publication notes that the “Clavsine-1R” has become the “CLABUSIN-2P-PM”, which received an elongated to 6.5 meter of the case with a diameter of 1 meter elongated to 6.5 meters, allowing more equipment to accommodate more equipment. “As for the” Poseidon “- already then it was clear that the autonomy of the apparatus with a nuclear power plant, which” accidentally “hit the video called” Status-6 “, will be unlimited in time. And it is possible that the prototype of its energy installation. It was tested just on the “Claisein-2r-PM”, “- allowed in the publication.
In June, the Nuclear Submarine “Belgorod” of the project 09852, which should become a carrier of the nuclear torpedo “Poseidon”, first reached the factory running tests in the White Sea.
In February 2019, Russian Ministry of Defense presented the first video of Poshondon’s polygon tests.
Officially nuclear underwater drone “Poseidon” presented in March 2018 by Russian President Vladimir Putin during the Message to the Federal Assembly. Initially, the weapons of mass lesion, known since November 2015, was designated as “status-6”.
