Russia To Not Have To Notify US About Tests Of Poseidon Underwater Drones

 Russia does not have to notify the United States of the planned tests of the Poseidon nuclear-powered and nuclear-capable underwater drones, according to the agreements in force between Moscow and Washington, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said on Friday.



A source in defense industry told Sputnik earlier in the day that first trials of Poseidon drones from the Belgorod nuclear-powered submarine are scheduled for this summer.

"No, we do not have to. There are a series of agreements dating back to the 1980s, mostly from the last century, that involve the exchange of notifications about launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles, as well as large-scale exercises of strategic forces. Neither one nor the other applies to this promising system, and in general, test events of this kind do not fall under any verification mechanisms and cannot fall," Ryabkov told reporters.

  1. Заместитель министра иностранных дел Сергей Рябков заявил, что Россия не должна будет уведомлять Америку об испытаниях подводного беспилотника «Посейдон».

    «Есть серия соглашений 80-х годов в основном прошлого века, которые предполагают обмен уведомлениями о пусках МБР и БРПЛ, а также о проведении масштабных учений стратегических сил. Ни то ни другое не относится к этой перспективной системе, и вообще испытательные мероприятия такого рода не подпадают под какие бы то ни было верификационные механизмы», - сказал он.
