Meanwhile an unmanned craft is currently being developed in the China Aerodynamics Research and Development Centre in Mianyang, Sichuan province, which is also known as Base 29.A video shows how the state-of-the-art Belgorod submarine carries the lethal Poseidon drone torpedo. It can travel ten times the speed of sound and launch missiles. Poseidon is a doomsday device designed to trigger a 1,600ft nuclear tsunami.The top secret American XS-1 under development by DARPA.Already the United States is powering head with its spacecraft, although China is busy developing one of their own.The molten metal can then morph into an aerodynamic slug during flight and pierce through another spacecraft or satellite and a munition explodes inside.This game changing rail-gun can fire a jet of molten metal, hurled through space at several hundred miles per second by the most powerful electromagnets ever built. The Poseidon ( Russian:, 'Poseidon', NATO reporting name Kanyon ), previously known by Russian codename Status-6 ( Russian: -6 ), is an autonomous, nuclear-powered, and nuclear-armed unmanned underwater vehicle under development by Rubin Design Bureau, capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear payloads.It is called the Magneto Hydrodynamic Explosive Munition or MAHEM.The Poseidon will be launched from a class of specialized submarines. With almost an unlimited range, the Poseidon would speed toward targets on America’s coastline, exploding a 2-megaton warhead next to them. This intriguing idea is being developed by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Russia’s giant nuclear-tipped Poseidon torpedo will undergo more tests this year.As bizarre as it sounds, a US Congressional report recently revealed the military has been pushing ahead with the kinetic space weapons.Reaching speeds of 7000mph they hit the ground with the force of a small nuclear weapon - but crucially creating no radiation fall out.One satellite fires the rods towards the Earth's atmosphere while the other steers them to a target on the ground.These would be made out of tungsten - a rare metal that can stand the intense heat generated by entering Earth's atmosphere.Instead of using rocks rods the size of telephone poles are deployed.A strange but utterly terrifying weapon has been dubbed "rods from the God" and is based on the concept of creating man-made meteorites that can be guided towards the enemy.
