“This innovative underwater vehicle, along with the Burevestnik missile, provides Russia with both significant military superiority and a strong bargaining chip in any future negotiations on the Ukraine crisis or the nuclear arms race,” Mohammed stressed. He noted that apart from military significance, these tests send a political message to NATO and the US that Russia is continuing to develop its advanced military technologies, especially in the strategic and nuclear fields, where Russia surpasses NATO thanks to its scientific and technological innovations. Mohammed added that with growing competition in the naval sphere and the arms race in place, the inability to detect or intercept the Poseidon gives Russia a military advantage and exposes NATO’s vulnerability.

“This comes at a time when Europe is significantly lagging behind in terms of both the quality and quantity of its weaponry. I believe NATO became even more convinced of this after Russia’s latest [Burevestnik] tests. It’s no coincidence that Trump’s statements came as the first and quickest reaction to their successful completion,” the expert concluded.
