Maksymilian Dura, a reserve captain-lieutenant of the Polish army and a publicist for the Defence 24 portal, stated this on Espreso TV."From a military point of view, these new ideas, namely the Burevestnik missile and the Poseidon torpedo, are not of great importance. Why? Because concerning the Burevestnik, we are talking about a maneuvering missile. Of course, it has an active reactor, but it's a missile that behaves like a maneuvering missile; it's easy to shoot down. It is a larger missile that is easy to detect, so for us, it does not pose any threat. The only feature that distinguishes it from others is that it has a fairly long range, but we do not know if this missile really works and if it will actually be in service, because the costs for this missile are much higher than for conventional missiles of this type. I think the West was not frightened by this type of weaponry," he said.Maksymilian Dura noted that the Poseidon torpedo should not cause concern, as the Russians have not yet mastered the technology of autonomous underwater vehicles to the extent they would like."Regarding the Poseidon torpedo, the Russians have not yet mastered the technology of autonomous underwater vehicles as they would like. Therefore, we should not worry about this torpedo either, because it is a nuclear weapon, and as such, as far as Russian policy is concerned, it does not threaten us for now. The Russians are currently only trying to participate in local conflicts so as not to provoke a larger reaction from the West and China. Therefore, there is no need to fear these new systems, because they are only in the early stages of testing, and they will not change anything in the actions of NATO, the European Union, and I also think they will not harm Ukraine," he added.On October 27, it became known that Russia had tested the Burevestnik cruise missile with a nuclear power unit. The launch took place from the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in the Arkhangelsk region of the Russian Federation, in the Arctic Ocean.On October 28, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin announced the testing of the Poseidon underwater vehicle, calling it a "great success.
