Daily Mail – Russia’s Nuclear Weapons Explained

Infographic illustrating three Russian nuclear systems — the Skyfall “Flying Chernobyl” missile, the Cosmos-2553 satellite platform, and the Poseidon nuclear torpedo — with diagrams showing structure, capabilities, and potential destructive effects.

The infographic visually details three Russian nuclear-related weapons systems.
At the top, it shows the “Flying Chernobyl” missile, a long, white cruise-missile-shaped object with exhaust at the rear and labels marking the booster rocket, warhead, and guidance system. A human silhouette next to it provides scale, suggesting the missile is several meters long.

Below that, the graphic describes the Cosmos-2553 satellite in space. The satellite appears rectangular with a solar panel array, orbiting Earth at 1,240 miles. A large red explosion graphic shows how a nuclear detonation in space could destroy thousands of satellites and disrupt global infrastructure.

At the bottom, the infographic explains the Poseidon nuclear torpedo. A cutaway diagram shows its internal components: pump jet, condenser, steam turbine, nuclear reactor, navigation system, and the large red nuclear warhead at the rear. The torpedo is depicted as 24 meters long and 2 meters wide. A three-step visual shows the torpedo detonating underwater near a coast, forming a massive tsunami-like wave that moves toward land, causing widespread damage. Labels note its speed (115 mph), depth capacity (over 1,000 meters), nuclear propulsion, and 2-megaton warhead.
