Russia reveals giant nuclear torpedo in state TV 'leak'

Russia had accidentally revealed technical details of a torpedo being built on a state television channel in Russia. My first reaction to the article is how dumb could you be to have such a document be leaked on national television. After reading the entire article, I believe Russia leaked these documents deliberately on national television. The torpedo is called the status 6. This torpedo is extremely devastating. I was shocked at its capabilities. The torpedo can go as fast as 115 miles per hour and avoid traps and tracking devices. The trajectory of the torpedo is 1000 meters. It was developed by Rubin, a submarine design station. If the torpedo were to hit the United States, it would cause a tsunami on the coast and radiation. Everything in the ocean would be dead. I do not think this leak should concern the United States, because they already seem to have a plan in place. The United States is developing a sea-based Aegis ballistic missile defense system. Air defense missiles are currently stationed in Romania and Poland. It seems that America already has a planned in placed, which I would hope they do have. Also, the status 6 some say is a cobalt bomb. A cobalt bomb has never been tested, because of the devastating radiation it would cause. I doubt Russia would ever use this type of bomb on the United States, because of our second strike capabilities. America should not be any more concerned of Russia then they were before this leak happened. I think Putin is just up to his usual trying to make Russia seem more powerful than it really is. There could be some sort of national pride happening here. Putin may have had this leak happen, because he wants his Russian citizens to know that Russia is powerful. I think Russia should be very careful messing with America. America is not the tree you want to bark on. It is going to be interesting how not only the United States responded, but also how other European countries respond. This would capture my attention if I was a European country especially a weaker one. Also, the technology that states have today is just scary. We can easily just destroy each other if we wanted to. The power of this technology is in the hands of the few. I hope they do not screw up, because we are all dead if they do.
