A magnitude 6.0 earthquake releases approximately 1.3×1017J of energy, equivalent to the explosion of a 100-megaton Russian nuclear submarine Poseidon. It is well known that magnitude 6 earthquakes do not generate tsunamis. On July 29, 2025, an 8.8 magnitude earthquake occurred, which generated a tsunami wave 4 m high.
That is, to generate such a wave, 15850 nuclear Poseidons would have to be detonated.
So nuclear Poseidons do not pose a threat?
My colleagues have prepared an article with the following title: "Assessment of the vulnerability of strategic facilities in closed bays to artificially generated tsunami waves by means such as the nuclear torpedo "Poseidon"".
The question arises, is there any interest in this publication? I am attaching an abstract of the article.
"The vulnerability of strategic facilities in closed bays to artificially generated tsunami waves by means of the Poseidon nuclear torpedo type has been assessed. The results of the study are relevant for the US Navy Naval Base San Diego, Naval Base Kitsap located in the bays, and for the infrastructure of the San Francisco Bay. The vulnerability assessment was performed based on experimental data from measuring the tsunamigenic characteristics of the earthquake of 07/29/2025 M=8.8, using the example of Avacha Bay (Pacific Ocean), where up to 50% of Russia's strategic submarines are permanently based.
Based on objective satellite reconnaissance data, the features of the destruction of the Russian Navy's submarine infrastructure were established, and hypotheses were put forward as to the causes of the destruction that occurred. These hypotheses were confirmed by appropriate calculations.
It was found that the TTX weapons of the Poseidon nuclear torpedo are fundamentally incapable of providing the formation of a tsunami wave, even 20 cm high. It was found that in closed bays and on coasts with a steep coastal slope, tsunami waves do not pose any threat. It was found that strategic facilities of NATO countries deployed in the Atlantic Ocean, despite the level of seismic activity, do not fall into the zone of vulnerability to tsunami waves. "
Yesterday at the parade the President of the People's Republic of China began to scare the President of the United States with nuclear torpedoes that generate destructive tsunamis. Photo attached, source of information https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXnV8iptmYo (video time 32:00). We now understand that this nuclear underwater weapon, for which there really are "no detection systems or destruction systems" - performed by "Poseidon" - is a psychological weapon. The explosion of "Poseidon" will not have any dangerous consequences.
The People's Republic of China stole a non-working weapon from Russia - "Dummy". China spent a lot of yuan and now looks ridiculous. Wanted to look threatening, but did not study the theory of the origin of tsunami waves. The theory of tsunami is presented in my publications.
Opposition Russian пeneral Ivashov stated that the nuclear torpedo of the PRC, an analogue of the Russian nuclear torpedo "Poseidon", is the main deterrent factor in the confrontation between the United States and the China-Russia bloc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgJH2Z_hf5Y).
The statement of the opposition politician indicates the stability of the existence of the myth about the possibility of inciting a tsunami by a nuclear explosion.
As a certified specialist, I am now debunking the myth of the possibility of generating a tsunami by a nuclear explosion at a scientific level.
Firstly, no underwater test of a nuclear bomb has ever caused a tsunami. For example, the Baker test on the Bikini Atoll (July 25, 1946) had a capacity of 21 kilotons and did not cause a tsunami.
Russian and Chinese propagandists are scaring US President Trump with the capacity of the Poseidon of 2 megatons. Donald, do not be afraid. You and the civilian population of the US are being fooled, as always.
I will give the consequences of a 10 megaton explosion (link https://www.ixbt.com/live/science/nevidimye-posledstviya-samogo-moschnogo-izverzheniya-xxi-veka-vulkan-hunga-tonga-nakryl-okean-pepelnym-savanom.html). The photo that I attached is published at this link.
This is a powerful explosion of the Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Haapai volcano in the Pacific Ocean on January 15, 2022 (https://hromadske.ua/posts/u-tihomu-okeani-stalosya-viverzhennya-pidvodnogo-vulkana-pislya-cogo-hvili-cunami-nakrili-ostrivnu-derzhavu). The photo that I attached is published at this link.
It is important to assess the consequences of the explosion.
As a result of the "spray dome" at the site of the explosion, 4 people died, but a "spray dome" is not a tsunami wave.
The height of the tsunami, for example, in Japan was 1 m, compared to the ocean tide (height 2.5 m), which occurs in Japan daily.
Conclusion. As a result of the simultaneous detonation of five nuclear torpedoes of the Russian or Chinese "Poseidon" type, the height of the tsunami will not exceed the height of the daily tide.
I ask the experts to join the discussion, because in essence the topic of the discussion is the threat to the world from geophysical weapons, which confuses everyone, and only I am officially participating in the discussion.
