Russia reportedly possesses an underwater nuclear drone that is capable of carrying a 100-megaton nuclear warhead, a leaked draft of the Pentagon’s Nuclear Posture Review has confirmed.
The weapon is referred to as an autonomous underwater vehicle or ‘AUV’ and features in a chart that offers a comprehensive look at the multitude of nuclear delivery vehicles that are used by Russia.
Specifically, it was claimed that the drone is officially known as Ocean Multipurpose System Status-6 and was first tested in November 2016.
It is reportedly capable of travelling a top distance of 6,200 miles, and boasts a top speed in excess of 56 knots, along with the ability to descend to depths of 3,280 feet below sea level.
