Putin awards the Seagull and Poseidon developers, saying they can ensure strategic balance for decades!
On November 5, the Russian newspaper "Message" reported: "Putin awarded the Seagull nuclear missile and Poseidon unmanned submersible developers in the Kremlin. He stated that both weapons are of historical significance and can ensure Russia's security and strategic balance for decades and throughout the 21st century. Putin introduced that the Seagull's nuclear reactor can be activated in just a few seconds and achieve three times hypersonic flight; the Poseidon can dive to a depth of 1000 meters and its speed far exceeds existing surface ships. The development has overcome many technical challenges, including advanced materials. Both weapons use domestic materials. Putin said that key tests of the Seagull have been completed, and the Poseidon also completed its test on October 28."
[Clever] The Kremlin's high-profile awarding of honors, using rule-breaking weapons to restructure the logic of the game! Putin awarded the developers of Seagull and Poseidon, which is more like showing the world a hard leverage to reshape the strategic balance than celebrating their success. These two domestically produced weapons precisely hit the weaknesses of Western defenses: the nuclear power and hypersonic speed of the Seagull, which can be started in seconds, make the US anti-missile system useless; the deep diving and super speed of the Poseidon make expensive anti-submarine networks a waste of money. The so-called statement that it does not threaten any side is more like rhetoric after overpowering. Under the technological gap where nuclear arms control treaties cannot control and existing defense systems cannot stop, Russia uses new deterrence in the sky and deep sea to force the opponent to reassess the game rules. This award ceremony is essentially a declaration of great power discourse written with technological breakthroughs!
