In order to stir up regional tensions and create regional tensions, the United States, Japan, and South Korea brazenly conducted large-scale military exercises in the East China Sea. In order to combat the arrogance of the United States, Japan, and South Korea, the righteous countries in the region have responded appropriately. For example, the Russian military dispatched bomber units to the Sea of Japan to conduct strategic patrols, and our military dispatched electronic reconnaissance ships to closely monitor the US-Japan-ROK military exercises. The response of the North Korean army was very "hardcore", and it chose to directly test the powerful "nuclear torpedo".
According to public information from relevant quarters, the DPRK military recently tested a new type of "underwater nuclear weapon" with the aim of issuing a solemn warning to the United States, Japan, South Korea, and other countries. According to the public footage released by the relevant authorities of the North Korean side, the North Korean army's "underwater nuclear weapon" test triggered a small tsunami, which set off a monstrous wave at the scene, which shows that its power is quite strong.
Outside analysts believe that this kind of "underwater nuclear weapon" in the mouth of the DPRK military is actually a kind of nuclear torpedo. On the one hand, this powerful nuclear torpedo can directly hit the opponent's large surface ships (the DPRK military directly refers to it as the "enemy aircraft carrier strike group"), and on the other hand, this weapon can also be used outside the harbor to trigger a tsunami with radioactive nuclear materials and directly hit the opponent's ports and even coastal cities.
It can be seen that such a nuclear torpedo is indeed very powerful. So, then, why haven't we developed such powerful weapons and equipment? Of course, there is a reason for this.
First of all, torpedoes face a lot of underwater resistance due to their underwater navigation. Therefore, the speed is not fast, and the cross-sea attack sometimes takes several days. Compared with the DPRK army, the motherland's 10,000-mile sea frontier that our army needs to defend is much vast, and the role of vigorously developing this torpedo is limited.
And whether it is to strike aircraft carriers, or to strike large fixed targets such as military bases. We all have a huge number and weight of the Dongfeng family of missiles. Relatively speaking, the DPRK military does not have many options for attacking aircraft carriers, which is an important reason why it has developed such a nuclear torpedo. And our army is very rich in means, so naturally there is no need to develop such a nuclear torpedo that is not cost-effective!
To sum up, on the one hand, there is no need for us to develop such a nuclear torpedo, and the development of such a powerful nuclear weapon may still give people a handle and give the United States an excuse to engage in a "nuclear arms race." Therefore, it is not surprising that we did not develop such equipment.
