TU-22M "Backfire" can easily transformed as the missile (Picture 1) |

There were plans to make so-called "doomsday weapon" in Russia, and this weapon might be 50-100 megaton nuclear powered "torpedo" or underwater drone, what could detonate below sea, and that weapon would cause terrible tsunami, what can risk lives and be very devastating on both sides of the Atlantic or Pacific ocean. There were many rumors about those super powerful nuclear weapons during the Cold War, and both sides were tested and investigated very powerful weapons like the bomber-sized cruise missiles. Those equipment were actually the strategic bombers, where were installed the fixed nuclear weapon, what might be very devastating.
Those very advanced missiles were patrol like other bombers, but if the order for the nuclear strike comes, those drones would fly to the enemy airspace, and then explode in there. In those massive nuclear missiles would use the same technology, what is used in the normal hydrogen bombs. The size of that kind of nuclear missiles would cause terrible destruction because all body of that giant cruise missile would fill with the lithium, and the nuclear fusion would begin by the normal fission bomb.
Also, there were the rumors that there were the nuclear mines on the Ocean floor. Those extreme powerful underwater nuclear weapons were reserved to kill the enemy ballistic missile submarines in the large area of seas. They would have one big problem. If those nuclear weapons are used, the own nuclear submarines would also destroy by the nuclear blast. Some people think that the super powerful nuclear drone would actually look like some "Akula" or other nuclear submarines.
There are many things, what are not mentioned about those killing machines. in the nuclear submarines have room and power to use even the supercomputers as the "brains" of the next generation robot submarines. Those underwater autonomous robots might not even need the crew, and then those submarines can patrol even the years under Ocean surface, and then attack any target, what is ordered for the destruction. The underwater drones must be connected to the transmitter, and if the transmission will shut down, drone starts to attack against the predicted enemy.
Somebody says that there are mechanisms in all submarines that if the crew is missing from the board, those submarines will detonate all nuclear warheads in the missiles, what is on board. The drone-technology can use in the nuclear submarines much easier than in airplanes because the computing capacity of those vehicles might be much powerful because they have more space than some "Predators", and the nuclear reactor can give the power supply for the supercomputers. and the nuclear reactor can give the power supply for the supercomputers and of course the sophisticated but complicated artificial intelligence needs powerful computers.
