During the warm weather months when flowers and their nectar are plentiful, bees produce an excess of honey to get them through the cold weather months.

The notion is horrendous to consider.

A nuclear torpedo drone creeps alongside the ocean ground, slipping below coastal missile defences and detonating with catastrophic impact just about New York.

An unlimited wall of water rises from the sea, tearing through the city, obliterating all in its wake and leaving the house flooded with poisonous radioactivity.

When he unveiled plans for his newest military nightmare a few years in the past, everyone concept Vladimir Putin was once bluffing.

Capable of devastating a massive stretch of coastline with a multi-megaton warhead, the Poseidon 2M39 torpedo would prompt a chain of fatal radioactive tsunamis that may spoil into cities and towns leaving them uninhabitable for many years.

This 'doomsday nuke' or 'apocalypse torpedo' gave the impression simply the type of super weapon that the sabre-rattling Russian chief would dream up to scare the wits out of warring parties and bend them to his will.

At the time, U.S. officials and defence professionals disregarded it as myth.

But now the grim truth has emerged from the melting Arctic ice: Russia actually is developing the Poseidon, sending a relax through the West.

The Poseidon 2M39 torpedo would spark off a chain of deadly radioactive tsunamis that will destroy into cities and towns leaving them uninhabitable for many years. Pictured: Putin

At least 3 submarines tailored to hold the huge torpedoes are already being examined in the Arctic the place the Putin regime is building an ominous army presence.

The region was once once iced up and un-navigable, but the ice is melting and it has develop into a very powerful to Russia's economic plan to open and regulate a northern shipping route from Europe to Asia.

The gradual disappearance of the ice barrier has additionally exposed the military vulnerability of Russia's as soon as impenetrable northern border.

Putin needs the 2M39 deployed in the Arctic via the summer of 2022 and, consistent with Russian media reports, has asked his defence ministry to stay him intently knowledgeable of tests that started in February and can continue this 12 months.

The lifestyles of proposals for the 2M39 had been first published, reportedly on goal, through a Russian general in 2015 who used to be photographed chatting to Putin whilst carrying plans for the supposedly top-secret weapon.

Three years later, Putin announced that Russia used to be developing the torpedo in a bombastic speech during which animated pictures confirmed nuclear warheads dropping on the U.S.

While sceptics dismissed the Poseidon as a 'paper tiger' meant to place the wind up the West, some defence mavens insisted there used to be simply too much evidence that this venture used to be in deadly earnest.

They pointed to proof that Moscow was expensively enhancing submarines, becoming huge underwater hangar doorways instead of typical torpedo tubes, so they would be capable of launching such massive missiles.

Few now imagine Poseidon is a myth, even supposing the actual functions and feasibility of such a mega-torpedo remain a matter of intense debate.

In 2019, an it seems that harmless video was posted on YouTube of a Russian oceanographic analysis ship completing sea trials near the Arctic.

A clip emerged in 2019 appearing the Poseidon - seen via military officials as a giant nuclear-capable torpedo - throughout a release verify

Footage displays military officials overseeing the test launch of Poseidon, which can supposedly be released from a submarine

Sharp-eyed army experts spotted on its deck a Poseidon torpedo, prompting speculation that the weapon used to be designed to be launched from the seabed — onto which it could be lowered from the facet of the vessel — as well as from a submarine.

That option, which avoids the attainable for the sub being situated and destroyed earlier than the torpedo can be released, would indubitably be conceivable.

And since it has its own power plant on board — in effect, acting like an underwater drone — the torpedo's vary is pretty much limitless although some have estimated it at 10,000 kilometres (6,200 miles).

What is known with simple task is that the Poseidon is the largest torpedo ever constructed.

More than 6ft in diameter and 65ft long, the remotely-controlled weapon is 30 times the measurement of a standard heavy torpedo and estimated to weigh 100 heaps.

Few now believe Poseidon is a myth, although the precise features and feasibility of such a mega-torpedo stay a matter of intense debate

It is each nuclear-armed and nuclear-powered. Compared to inter-continental ballistic missiles, it might be somewhat sluggish, wanting hours to reach a goal.

A speed of as much as 80mph from a pump that uses a jet of water for propulsion is considered likely.

Western experts are doubtful about Russian claims that it travels at greater than 120mph underwater, announcing the generation needed for this pace would make the torpedo so loud as to be easily detectable.

And it is detectability — or the lack of it — that is the key to this weapon's terrifying doable. It has the advantage of whole stealth as it hugs the seabed to get previous missile defences. Russian resources have described the torpedo as nearly unstoppable.

And when it reaches its target, there's the question of its city- pulverising possible. Last November, Christopher A. Ford, then U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Non-Proliferation, described the Poseidon as designed to 'inundate U.S. coastal cities with radioactive tsunamis'.

The medical phenomenon of large waves breaking whilst still far out at sea, referred to as the Van Dorn Effect, is well known and the thought of a large nuclear torpedo capable of creating such waves was investigated by means of the U.S. as long ago as the Cold War.

Sharp-eyed army mavens noticed on its deck a Poseidon torpedo, prompting speculation that the weapon was designed to be launched from the seabed — onto which it may well be reduced from the aspect of the vessel — in addition to from a submarine. Pictured: The Sarov submarine for Poseidon

Putin desires the 2M39 deployed in the Arctic by way of the summer season of 2022 and, in keeping with Russian media studies, has asked his defence ministry to keep him intently informed of exams that started in February and can continue this year. Pictured: Russia's Arctic Nagurskoye Air Base

However, U.S. Navy studies in the 1950s and Sixties concluded that most of a mega-wave's power is dissipated when it breaks on the continental shelf ahead of reaching shore, so that they had been regarded as lower than splendid weapons.

That said, the Poseidon was to start with described as wearing a 100-megaton warhead — bigger even than the Soviets' air-dropped Tsar Bomba, the most robust nuclear weapon ever examined.

With that sort of payload, the explosion may produce a large tsunami a long way offshore, meaning the Poseidon would now not even wish to get close to a goal metropolis to spoil it.

According to TASS, Russia's state-controlled information company, on the other hand, the country's army now say it will likely be armed with a a long way smaller two-megaton warhead — at 133 occasions the power of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima nonetheless devastating but, say some experts, unlikely to be strong enough to create a tsunami offshore.

While Russian claims about Poseidon shift all the time, Western defence chiefs admit that they are deeply involved through anything else that may launch a nuclear attack without even being noticed through their missile defence methods.

Vice Admiral Nils Andreas Stensones, who as head of Norwegian Intelligence is fixated by means of Russian moves in the Arctic, ominously told CNN that Poseidon was 'geared toward objectives... and has an influence a ways beyond the region by which they verify it currently'.

U.S. Government assets, who say they're monitoring developments there 'very closely', warn that Russian regulate of the Arctic would allow it to extend its power into the North Atlantic — and that would be a deeply alarming construction for the UK.

It has been reported that Russia plans to equip its Northern Fleet with 30 Poseidon torpedoes. Nobody is reassured through the country's insistence that its designs in the Arctic are peaceful.

It is pinning its financial hopes on opening up the area to delivery and is already not easy that tankers passing through the area get Russian permission and use Russian pilots.

At least three submarines adapted to carry the monumental torpedoes are already being examined in the Arctic where the Putin regime is development an ominous army presence

Meanwhile, defence analysts say that submarines are the best actual software where the Kremlin has any hope of levelling the playing field with a militarily awesome U.S.

Now there is no doubt that Poseidon exists, mavens expect it will likely be used to 'scare' the West and most likely be used as a bargaining chip in hands keep an eye on talks.

With Russia already testing the submarines that would raise Poseidon, and given Moscow's dismal track report when it comes to army mishaps, environmental professionals worry dire nuclear contamination of the sea when they come to test the torpedo, too.

In Hollywood's Clash Of The Titans, if no longer in precise Greek mythology, Poseidon, god of the seas, releases the monstrous sea creature the Kraken to damage the city of Argos by way of creating a large tidal wave.

President Putin is also hoping his NATO warring parties take into accout the film as they respond to the new underwater danger.
