A British defence analyst says an “underwater robot drone” showcased on Russian state television on May 1 could just be a “propaganda weapon” and could even be a red herring.

Russian television presenter Dmitry Kiselyov, who is known to be close to President Vladimir Putin, showed a video of the Poseidon nuclear weapon and said it could create a tsunami that would destroy the British Isles.
