The US Defense Department is concerned about the development of Russia's underwater drone, capable of carrying a warhead capacity of tens of megatons. The development was given the code name Kanyon unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV). The new project, according to The Washington Free Beacon, is part of the ongoing modernization of the Russian strategic nuclear forces.



The American artist is the Russian submarine drone is. However, almost no one knows exactly what it looks like.


"This underwater drone will develop high speed and will be able to overcome long distances," - he described some of the technical characteristics of the development of a source of the online publication. He stressed that the project is still far from prototyping and testing. Apparently, the "Canyon" will be able to attack the key base of US submarines.

Work on the creation of drones for the Russian Navy has learned more than a year ago. "In the next few years, the Navy Russia will have at its disposal a new unmanned underwater vehicles - the so-called gliders" - said vrns.ru. True, it was a question of research devices, which can work up to 300 feet of water for 90 days.

Apparently, the Pentagon knows more than us.

The use of "Canyon" certainly will not be limited to the study of the ocean depths, says colleague art201045. "In addition to the destruction of the Pentagon designated naval bases (of which the world had a huge number of Americans scattered), underwater drones can very effectively destroy the aircraft carrier battle groups. You do not need megaton nuclear charge, enough kilotons, "- writes the blogger.

According to him, the veil, consisting of hundreds of underwater robots torpedoes scattered throughout the world's oceans and lying in the muddy ground, is virtually impossible to detect. Is it just coincidence, and that only a few devices. At the right moment for the team and gliders are initiated upon detection of carrier strike groups are destroying it.
