- We discover how technology has taken over the most lethal weapons that have intervened in the conflict between these two countries and that could be very dangerous if used.

The technology has been exposed during the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and lethal weapons have now resurfaced not only from the countries involved in the war but from those that have sent weapons to Ukraine. A torpedo that could destroy a city or a missile with a power 2,000 times greater than that of the Hiroshima bomb is just some of these examples.
Satan II
Russia has released the RS-28 Sarmat, also known as the Satan II. Some projectiles are designed to transport explosive charges that, in addition, have a high radius of action, for this reason, and because they can also be nuclear, they are the most feared weapons.
They weigh 208.1 tons and can carry a payload of up to 10,000 kilos. They measure around 35.5 meters long and three meters in diameter.
Its range is estimated between 17,000 and 18,000 kilometers, whose shock wave would be of great magnitude. In addition, it can travel at a speed of almost 21,000 kilometers per hour and can change the trajectory of heading and height when it is already in the air.
Putin noted that this missile "has the highest tactical and technical characteristics and is capable of overcoming all modern missile defense systems."
This missile has around 40 megatons, which gives it a power 2,000 times greater than that of the Hiroshima bomb, launched in World War II and which left 150,000 dead.
C90 anti-tank grenade launcher
The first unilateral shipment of Spanish weapons that our country sent to Ukraine was at the beginning of March. Among the weapons material that was on the two planes, were 1,370 model C90 anti-tank grenade launchers.
These grenade launchers are manufactured by the Aragonese company Instalaza, one of the largest arms companies in our country based in Zaragoza.
This weapon is designed to destroy, among other things, enemy armored vehicles and main battle tanks at a distance of up to 750 meters. It belongs to the family of shoulder shooters and has an optical viewfinder and night vision.
According to the Catalog of the Spanish Defense Industry, it can be used with various types of ammunition (anti-tank, anti-bunker, dual-purpose, smoke-incendiary, etc.) and, it says, can penetrate steel armor up to half a meter.
Poseidon
Poseidon is a nuclear submarine that reaches 10,000 kilometers and has a maximum speed of 200 kilometers per hour. It is 20 meters long and two meters in diameter and can move to depths of up to a thousand meters.
Also known as Status-6, it has the capacity to generate waves greater than 200 meters, about 20 kilometers from the epicenter of the explosion, thus generating a shocking Tsunami. Likewise, its power of one hundred megatons could destroy an entire city.
One of the materials that this underwater drone could incorporate is cobalt-60, which is characterized by being a highly radioactive element. Such material produces radioactive fallout that, in the event of an explosion, would contaminate a large area for approximately one hundred years.
Russia considers this submarine to be undetectable by coastal defenses, such as those of the United States. It is a weapon that would be used against hostile naval bases and stations.
Orlan-10
Orlan-10 is specifically designed to carry out espionage tasks.
Specifically, the Orlan-10 has been in production since 2010 and was created by the Special Technology Center company in the city of Saint Petersburg.
The wingspan is about three meters while the fuselage reaches 2 meters. The device takes off via a catapult system, weighs 12.5 kilograms, and reaches a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour. As for the flight autonomy, it moves in 10 hours.
The drone, in addition to a canon camera, adds a daylight camera, a thermal imager, a video camera, and a radio transmitter and is designed to carry out intelligence work.
The drone has the capacity to house systems intended to cause interference in enemy systems.
Iskander-M
Russia has brought to the fore mobile missile launchers that can fire nuclear warheads several kilometers from the border with Ukraine
It is a ballistic missile system that was used during the Cold War as a substitute for the Soviet Scud missile, the first time they were used in combat was in Georgia in 2008.
Designed to confuse anti-missile defenses by flying at a low trajectory and maneuvering in flight to engage targets up to 500 km away with an accuracy of two to five meters.
