A top-of-the-line Russian nuclear-powered submarine has gone missing from its harbor in the Arctic along with its rumored "doomsday weapon," according to multiple reports.

NATO has reportedly warned members that Russia's Belgorod submarine no longer appeared to be operating out of its White Sea base, where it has been active since July. Officials warned that Russia may plan to test Belgorod's "Poseidon" weapons system, a drone equipped with a nuclear bomb that Russia has claimed is capable of creating a "radioactive tsunami," according to Italian media.

The drone can be deployed from the submarine at any time and detonated at a depth of 1 kilometer near a coastal city. Russian state media has claimed the device can create a 1,600-ft. wave that smashes into the coast and irradiates it.

Rebekah Koffler, a strategic intelligence expert and author of "Putin’s Playbook," warned that Russia's use of such a weapon would only come as a last resort "in the event that Russia and the U.S. are in a direct kinetic war and Russia is losing."

Koffler said the device is likely not to be operational until 2027, but Putin may be testing it as a means to intimidate both Ukraine its NATO allies in the West. Putin has warned that Russia's potential use of nuclear weapons is "not a bluff."

Belgorod's location remains publicly unknown as of Monday, a situation that is not particularly surprising to Koffler. Russian submarines have some of the best stealth capabilities in the world and have even entered U.S. waters undetected in the past, according to Koffler.

This sounds like a plot to a James Bond film.

It's really going to be on the Russian people and the Russian military to not fire a nuclear weapon on anyone when Putin orders it.

But if they do - if they let it happen - then all of Russia if f'n dead. And I won't care. Somebody better be a patriot and take that f'r out.

I don't think Putin would launch a nuclear attack, this is just loosh harvesting

Well, now we know what Sumac's been up to.

Isn't part of the reason most people think Putin is bluffing because nukes, even if you have a lot of them already, are too expensive to launch?

It's probably more expensive to keep them silo'd than it is to launch them.
