A British defence analyst says an “underwater robot drone” showcased on Russian state television on May 1 could just be a “propaganda weapon” and could even be a red herring.
Russian television presenter Dmitry Kiselyov, who is known to be close to President Vladimir Putin, showed a video of the Poseidon nuclear weapon and said it could create a tsunami that would destroy the British Isles.
Kiselyov said: “What will happen after [Prime Minister] Boris Johnson’s words about a retaliatory strike on Russia? Why do they threaten vast Russia with nuclear weapons while they are only a small island? A single launch, Boris, and there is no England anymore. Once and for all. Why do they play games?”
