Russian state news agency TASS says it has not been able to confirm details of the weapon.
But
it quoted a source as saying: 'It will be possible to mount various
nuclear charges on the "torpedo" of the Poseidon multipurpose seaborne
system, with the thermonuclear single warhead similar to the Avangard
charge to have the maximum capacity of up to 2 megatonnes in TNT
equivalent.'

With its nuke, the weapon 'is primarily designed to destroy reinforced naval bases of a potential enemy,' the report added.
In
March, Putin announced that Russia has tested an array of new nuclear
weapons 'invulnerable to enemy interception' in a speech where he
praised scientists behind the arsenal as 'the heroes of our time'.
In
his annual state-of-the-nation speech in Moscow, Putin said the weapons
include a nuclear-powered cruise missile, a nuclear-powered underwater
drone and new hypersonic missile and showed video footage the launch of a
new heavy intercontinental ballistic missile on big screens.

The
video footage also contained a computer generated sequence showing the
potential power and reach of the new rocket, which included bombs
raining down over the U.S. state of Florida.
During
his speech, Putin said the creation of the new weapons has made NATO's
U.S.-led missile defense 'useless,' and means an effective end to what
he described as Western efforts to stymie Russia's development.
It comes amid continued heightened tensions between Putin and the West over his role backing Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.
Diplomatic
ties between Britain and Moscow have plummeted in the wake of the
poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in
Salisbury.
