Russia will soon be able to launch 12 Poseidon supertorpedoes at once.

November 2, 2025 6 814 14

On November 1, the launch ceremony for the Project 09851 nuclear-powered special-purpose submarine Khabarovsk took place at the Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk, Arkhangelsk Region. According to a communiqué from the Russian Ministry of Defense, the newly launched submarine is designed to fulfill the Russian Navy's missions "using modern naval underwater weapons, including robotic systems for various purposes," ensuring the security of Russia's maritime borders and protecting the country's national interests in various parts of the world's oceans.

It's worth noting that Khabarovsk is the second carrier of the 2M39 Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicles (NATO designation Kanyon, formerly known as Status-6), a strategic nuclear-powered carrier that carries nuclear warheads (nuclear torpedoes). This operation suggests that the Russian Navy will soon be able to simultaneously launch 12 Poseidon supertorpedoes, six from each submarine, if necessary.

The first Poseidon carrier, the Project 09852 special-purpose submarine BS-329 Belgorod, is currently based in Severodvinsk. The Khabarovsk, after completing trials and entering service, will likely be deployed to the Pacific Ocean.

It's worth noting that, unlike the Belgorod submarine, which was built using the existing Project 949A Antey SSGN hull, the Khabarovsk submarine was designed from scratch. The Khabarovsk's dimensions are quite modest compared to those of the Project 955A Borei-A and Project 949A Antey submarines, and comparable to the Project 885M Yasen-M.

Russia will soon be able to launch 12 Poseidon supertorpedoes at once.

It would be nice if they also wrote about when Russia will be able to mass-produce its own high-quality, inexpensive passenger cars, digital cameras, color printers, and other technology-intensive devices for the people...

And as Musk said (not verbatim) - bam, and trillions of rubles were flushed down the drain...

  ...when Russia will be able to mass-produce its own high-quality, affordable passenger cars, digital cameras, color printers, and other things...for the people...
  
  I will try to explain it in the most accessible form.
  Before mass production of everything you've mentioned, we need to ensure the safety of both the production and use of the products you mentioned, as there's a constant danger that numerous enemies, envious people, and competitors will hit us over the head not with a color printer or a digital camera, but with a terrifying and modern weapon. And they'll do this long before the first domestic products you mentioned appear.
  They will kill us and take away not only our cameras and printers, but also our territories, factories and vast natural resources, which we, in our stupidity and naivety, used to produce peaceful products instead of military ones.

    The explanation is off topic, but it still turns out that never...
    Thank you, you explain well...

  Color printers.
  
  In the Moscow region, electronics manufacturer Fplus has begun producing domestically produced color laser printers. The first large batch is ready and awaiting customers—the vendor is committed to producing over 100 printers per year, depending on order volume. This marks the first domestic production of laser printers; previously, such devices were manufactured exclusively abroad.

  Domestically produced Zenit digital cameras are also available. Google them. But most people use smartphones these days. They also produce cars, like the Lada and Patriot. Perhaps not everyone will be satisfied with their quality.

    Thank you. You reminded me – yes, I remembered that I met...
    We have similar-looking ones at work, but they're Chinese. "Assembled with Chinese components," as they say online.
    I've also come across the Zenit M (a Leica M with a "badge"). It was even given to Medvedev as a gift.
    
    I used to work with Sitronics myself. It was purely Russian electronics from China...
    
    Cars – everything is clear, I hope. I agree with you...

  The roads aren't thick enough for high-quality, inexpensive cars from domestic manufacturers. That's why there's a cash register booth every 10 kilometers, no free parking on the streets, and cars are exorbitantly priced. The government and the president need working people, not slackers loitering during work hours. There are already plenty of them; the Kremlin parliaments are full of roads and parking lots, the result of their nationality policies. Instead of factories, there are multi-story ghettos, instead of collective farms, there are agricultural holdings. Everything for the workers costs them money, and if you don't have any money? Then welcome to the North Caucasus Military District.

It's good that we have it, but the enemy is destroying southern and central Russia with cheap UAVs... in that case, either use this Poseidon in reality against those who supply them with all this, or pretend that everything is fine and nothing is happening...

What's the point of these Poseidons? They'll never be used, and the whole world knows it. Threatening is all we can do, and it's useless.

What about the children, mistresses, and houses in the West? I can't believe in a million years that such shitty wonder weapons would be used. Maybe against Voronezh...

Kindergarten-gardens on straps-Poseidon is, in general, idiocy-and also the APL-for their launch

  Unarmed is unprotected, especially in these turbulent times. Such a strategic necessity is non-negotiable. Regarding carrier submarines, they're too expensive; it's cheaper and more reliable to establish underground coastal bases with multiple underwater Poseidon launch sites. Nuclear propulsion allows for the establishment of bases in remote, favorable locations: the Kola Peninsula, the Novaya Zemlya Islands, Chukotka, Kamchatka, and so on. Our adversaries will also have similar weapons within five years, and we need to prepare for that.

The government, with its clumsy moves, wants to demonstrate its strength, but the opposite is true! An endless "fountain" of some "super waffles," and the enemy doesn't give a damn! This whole theater is beginning to resemble Krylov's fable, "The Elephant and the Pug." The Pug is played by a paper tiger! In geopolitics, cowards and weaklings have no place in the Major League! That's just the way the world works! All these new-old toys are designed for completely insane local "natives" and budget embezzlement! This will never fly anywhere! Never! And it's not a fact that it exists! The Armata also exists in several copies! It's dragged on trailers to parades and back to a warm box to be painted for the next parade or biathlon! A fancy-up tank, like all fancy-up Ministry of Defense vehicles.

  How could there be no fence? Every country has a fence. Otherwise, Russia would have become Chimerica long ago. Another thing is that Russia is catastrophically dying out. As jokers quote Trump:
  
  Voffka, we are not going to destroy Russians, you are better at that.
