RUSSIA has been spotted trying to test a terrifying nuclear-powered torpedo, a senior US official has claimed.
But it is understood Putin’s goons suffered a glitch as they attempted to carry out chilling trials in the Artic Sea.
The tyrant’s massive 604ft, 30,000 tonne, nuclear-powered submarine the Belgorod was among the warships that took part in test preparations.
A senior US official told CNN that Russian naval vessels had been seen preparing for a possible test of a new nuclear-powered torpedo.
But within the last week, the warships were seen leaving the trial area and heading back to the port.
