After starting its maiden voyage in the sea trial phase on June 25, 2021, the Russian Navy has now announced the full operation of its largest nuclear-powered submarine Belgorod. The operation of the Belgorod is big news in the world of global strategic weapons, because the Belgorod is the carrier of the Poseidon nuclear-powered torpedo/drone, whose existence is a mystery and fear in itself among the West.
Quoted from TheDrive.com, the K-329 Belgorod, which is the longest submarine in the world, was handed over to the Russian Navy in a ceremony at the Sevmash shipyard in Severodvisnk, last Friday (8/7/2022). The Belgorod is described by Russia as a "research" ship capable of conducting diverse scientific expeditions and rescue operations in the most remote areas of the entire ocean.
The Belgorod is, in fact, an underwater weapon system that can deliver devastating strikes to strategic assets, and serves as a 'mothership' for a number of underwater platforms. Belgorod is 178 meters long and is supported by two OK-650V nuclear power plants each capable of providing 190 megawatts of power. According to GlobalSecurity.org, the Belgorod's weight at the surface was estimated at 19,000 tonnes and when submerged at 24,000 tonnes.
Still from the same source, it is said that the Belgorod will be the first Russian ship to be armed with the 2M39 Status-6 or the nuclear-powered "Poseidon" intercontinental torpedo. Poseidon is capable of diving in the deep sea, plus the ability to cruise super far (10,000 km). In terms of size, the Poseidon is about 20 times larger than a normal torpedo.

It is estimated that in one voyage Belgorod can carry six Poseidon units. The Belgorod is also designed to carry specialized, miniature submarines for deep-sea diving, such as the “Losharik”, as well as equipment for covert military work on the seabed, which global military observers believe are sabotage and reconnaissance activities, such as attempts to disrupt optical cable networks at sea. free.
Belgorod is believed to be used to support the deployment of Harmony, namely special robotized underwater modules that are quietly released from submarines, and will 'dwell' on the ocean floor.
The role of Harmony is precisely to run powerful hydro acoustic stations that 'eavesdrop' all forms of movement on it. The distribution of this Harmony module will later send information to the control center via satellite media using a special buoy attached to it.
