Another totally normal evening on Russian state TV as Solovyov and Simonyan join military commentator Yevgeny Buzhinsky in fantasising about the Poseidon underwater drone causing a nuclear tsunami that engulfs Britain pic.twitter.com/kNigUAmMo8

We are safe to start a nuclear war against Russia now.

I remember old War Nerd column talking about that. "If the psycho down the street starts loading his rifle and yelling 'I'm coming fer you' it doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence when you tell me the rifle is rusty and he's a terrible shot."

True, but when the guy down the street has done the same song and dance threat hundreds of times in the last year and still hasn't shot anyone, one starts to wonder if he is bluffing.

Can nukes actually cause a tsunami? I don't know the math but water is really fricking heavy.

Yes, they detonated a shitton of them in the ocean at different depths to figure this out

But he's lying tho. He doesn't address that water really fricking heavy problem. I also doubt that even radiation would be problem. Water very good at blocking/diffusing radiation

Yeah radiation isn't an issue, when you dilute it in billions tons of water it doesn't matter. We fired dozens if not hundreds of nukes in underwater tests and no pollution problems arouse because of it.
As for tsunami, one nuke shouldn't be enough but a number properly positioned should. It's pretty pointless though since at this point you're getting nuked back for sure, and your tsunami does nothing in preventing enemy from nuking you back (and nuclear war is all about killing enemy's ability to nuke you, attacking cities is distraction that wastes valuable warheads)

Its supposedly 100 megatons
Same size as the Tsar Bomba. That's a lot of energy too.

Tsar bomba was only 50 megaton actually, so it would be the equivalent to 2 Tsar Bombas

Lol, one side can literally see quasars at the beginning of the universe, and the other has a bunch of leaky radioactive wunderwaffen sitting around at home.
No one intelligent is even slightly worried about orc nukes. The yanks can see exactly where they are, can strike before the deployment time is completed, and can hear the orders being sent.
All else is orc or old greenie
