  "textContent": "Russia's underwater drone program known as Poseidon has again become the subject of intense international discussion following reports that the system is approaching operational deployment. Western analysts increasingly describe the project as one of the most unconventional strategic weapons developed in recent decades.\nRussia's Khabarovsk Submarine and Poseidon System\n\nThe primary carrier of the system is expected to be the nuclear-powered submarine Khabarovsk, developed specifically for deploying unmanned underwater vehicles. According to publicly available assessments, the submarine may carry up to six Poseidon drones.\nThe system differs significantly from traditional torpedoes. Analysts describe it as a long-range autonomous underwater vehicle powered by a compact nuclear propulsion system, theoretically allowing it to travel enormous distances without the limitations faced by conventional naval weapons.",
