Satellite images reveal the Russian Navy's special purpose submarine RFS Khabarovsk in the water at Sevmash shipyard, designed to launch nuclear-powered 'Poseidon' torpedoes. The submarine, based on the Borei-A class design, can carry up to six of these unique torpedoes, which are strategic assets for Russia's naval capabilities.
Insight: The 'Poseidon' torpedoes give Russia a strategic advantage, as they can be launched from safe zones near the coast and target important harbors and naval bases. The submarine's deployment location, possibly in the Northern Fleet, would allow Russia to target Western Europe and the US eastern seaboard effectively.
