Russian media have reported on the manufacture of the first batch of Poseidon nuclear torpedoes. Information about this was published by TASS, citing its own sources. It is noted that first such torpedoes will arm the Belgorod submarine.

Besides, according to the source of the publication, separate trials of the main parts of the Poseidon system, including a nuclear power plant, have been successfully completed.

Reports on the likely tests of the system appeared in early November 2022. At that time, the United States said that among the ships involved in the preparation of the nuclear test was the Belgorod submarine, capable of launching unmanned underwater vehicles, in particular the Poseidon system.

The US spotted the exit of Russian ships from the proving ground in the Arctic Ocean and their return to port without conducting the tests.The US intelligence concluded that this could indicate the technical difficulties of the Russians.
