VTV.vn - Russia plans to launch Belgorod, the longest submarine in the world. However, it's not the size that makes this sub impactful, it is the payload that it plans to carry.

As Russian media reports, the Belgorod will carry "Poseidon" torpedoes or drones capable of carrying powerful nuclear warheads. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Belgorod will launch in spring 2019 with Poseidon. The submarine, which comes with a 184-meter hull, can deploy six of these 'doomsday' torpedoes, with each rated to carry a 100-200 megaton nuclear warhead.
