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.
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.
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).

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.
