Russian President Vladimir Putin ne Wednesday (Oct 29) announce kiya ki unhone ek nuclear-capable, nuclear-powered underwater drone ka safal test kiya, US President Donald Trump ki warning ke bawajood. Ye naye nuclear weapons system ka doosra test tha kuch hi dino mein. Pehle Sunday (Oct 26) ko, Putin ne ek aur advanced nuclear-capable weapon – Burevestnik cruise missile – ka test announce kiya tha jiska “unlimited range” hai. Trump ne kaha ki ye move “appropriate” nahi hai.
Poseidon ek nuclear-powered, nuclear-capable underwater drone hai jo torpedo ki tarah kaam karta hai. Ye conventional submarines se bhi tez chal sakta hai aur duniya ke kisi bhi continent tak ja sakta hai. Iska design aisa hai ki ise intercept karna namumkin hai. Ye 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) gehraai tak operate kar sakta hai aur 70 knots ki speed se travel kar sakta hai, bina detect hue. Isme do megatons tak ka nuclear warhead carry karne ki capacity hai.
Russian President Vladimir Putin ne bataya ki Poseidon ki speed aur diving depth duniya mein unmatched hai aur aisa lagta hai ki aane wale samay mein koi iska milta-julta system nahi banega. Ye drone radioactive tsunami create kar sakta hai jo coastal areas ko bahut zyada nuksan pahucha sakta hai.
Trump ne Burevestnik cruise missile ke test ke baad kaleja ki yuddh khatam karne par dhyaan dene ki appeal ki hai.
Ye dono weapons, Poseidon aur Burevestnik, Putin ne pehli baar 2018 mein announce kiye the.
Donald Trump ne kaha, “Use (Ukraine ki) jung khatam kar deni chahiye. Ek jung jo ek hafte mein khatam ho jaani chahiye thi, wo ab apne chauthe saal ke kareeb hai. Use missiles test karne ke bajay yahi karna chahiye.” Pichhle hafte, Trump ne Budapest mein planned summit cancel kar diya tha kyunki Putin jung khatam karne ko tayar nahi the. Jab se January mein apni doosri term ke liye White House wapas aaye hain, Trump Russia aur Ukraine ke beech shanti samjhauta secure karne ki koshish kar rahe hain, lekin ab tak koi pragati nahi hui hai, jis se wo Putin se naaraaz aur nirash hain. Putin ne ceasefire ke liye vishwa ki pukaron ko mana kar diya hai.
