Was it an oversight or a threat hidden?
The Russian government television said the country had accidentally shown some secret plans to launch a nuclear torpedo.
On Tuesday, Channel One and NTV channels controlled by the Kremlin, focused and hold a confidential document reading a Russian general during a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his military chiefs in Sochi, a city at the foot of the Black Sea, Monday.
The sheet showed drawings and details of a weapon system called Status-6, designed by Rubin, a construction of nuclear submarines in St. Petersburg.
"It is true that some secret information out in the decision, which was erased later," said Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov. But many web pages have taken screenshots of the "revelation".
"Definitely, we will take preventive measures to prevent this from happening again," the spokesman Peskov. But he did not say why so few channels strictly controlled television broadcasting ended information like this.
Torpedo intensely radioactive
These nuclear torpedoes would create "zones of intense radioactive contamination", he said the document he read the Russian general. In the television transmission it is the torpedo would be released by nuclear submarines and having a destructive range up to 10 thousand kilometers.
You can also read the "marine system multipurpose Status-6" is designed to "destroy important economic enemy installations in coastal areas and cause a guaranteed devastating damage, preventing any economic or military activity for a long period," at least five years .
Russian military experts told the BBC that a weapon of this size could produce a tsunami of up to 500 meters high, eliminating all life within a radius of 1,500 kilometers.
Deliberate transmission
Some Russian media commentators suggest that leaking torpedo the plan was deliberate.
This theory is that hours after transmission, the newspaper Rossiiskaya Gazeta Russian government showed details of a "mini robotic submarine" capable of traveling at 185 kilometers per hour, radar and avoid the destructive power of a cobalt bomb very radioactive.
No country has ever tried a cobalt bomb, because of the devastating radiation occur. So transmission may not have been accidental.
