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. Vlad's henchmen were scuppered by technical difficulties, the US believes. US officials warned Moscow could attempt to test the torpedo again, but the waters will soon be covered with ice. A Western diplomat told the outlet: "This can be seen as part of the bigger picture and Russia's recent military practice, sending ill-trained and under-equipped troops to Ukraine. "Russia's military industry is going through difficult times, and we can also see that Western sanctions on high-tech military goods are having an effect and must continue." It comes just weeks after new images suggested Putin's "city-killer" submarine armed with "apocalypse drone" torpedos was lurking just 270 miles from the Nato border. The infamous Belograd was spotted docked in a port in Severodvinsk, - close to the Russian Arctic - in what is being viewed as yet another of Putin's chilling warnings to the West. The powerful K-329 Belgorod can reportedly trigger radioactive tsunamis and wipe out enemy coastlines with its underwater drone torpedo, Poseidon. And as the tyrant continues his shambolic invasion of Ukraine invasion, there are fears Russia's giant nuclear-capable torpedo is primed and ready.
