Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Wednesday that Russia had a “huge success” testing its Poseidon nuclear-capable underwater drone, describing the system as a major step in the country’s strategic weapons program, according to Reuters.

“For the first time, we managed not only to launch it with a launch engine from a carrier submarine, but also to launch the nuclear power unit on which this device passed a certain amount of time,” Putin said. “There is nothing like this.”

“The Poseidon’s power significantly exceeds the power of even our most promising Sarmat intercontinental-range missile,” he said, referring to Russia’s SATAN II model.
