The United States called on Russia to get rid of Petrel and Poseidon

Russian projects of the Petrel and Poseidon missiles should be closed, said Marshall Billingsley, special representative of the President of the United States for arms control. We have repeatedly warned that Poseidon and Petrel are terrible systems, Billingsley writes on his Twitter. Russia needs to get rid of these projects. A big waste of money. According to him, these missiles should be covered by a new treaty with Russia on the limitation of strategic weapons. According to the news agency, earlier a military expert of the Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine noted that a Russian intercontinental cruise missile of unlimited range with a nuclear power plant Burevestnik and an unmanned underwater vehicle Poseidon in the event of a nuclear war will become a weapon of retaliation. Recall that the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START-3), signed on April 8, 2010 between Russia and the United States, ends on February 5, 2021. To date, Washington has not yet decided whether to extend this agreement, which US President Donald Trump considers unsuccessful. See also: Experts called Petrel and Poseidon a weapon of retaliation
