The video shows how the superweapon would erase the UK off the face of the Earth, in a chilling warning to the West, sparking fears the US could be next.
The video which broadcasted on Russian state TV back in May has resurfaced after it was reshared by the Twitter account Terror Alarm.
Pro-Putin TV host Dmitry Kiselyov explains that the superweapon would spark a gigantic 1,640ft killer tsunami that would render Britain uninhabitable and turn it into a "radioactive desert."
He said: "It approaches the target at a one-kilometre depth with the speed of 200 kilometres per hour.

"There is no way to stop this underwater drone.";
He added the surging water - reaching almost halfway up Scafell Pike in the English Lake District - would contain "high doses of radiation."
The move aims to "psychologically demoralize the entire West."
In the same chilling broadcast the presenter also showed how the Kremlin's world-ending Satan 2 nuclear missile could also annihilate Britain.

It comes as earlier this month, Russia announced the production of the "first batch of nuclear-armed Poseidon drones."
State-run TASS news agency said: "It will be soon delivered to special-purpose nuclear-powered submarine Belgorod."
The mega-submarine, Russia claims, is capable of carrying eight of the torpedo drone weapons which could release a nuclear Armageddon.
The Poseidon is one of Vladimir Putin's six "superweapons".
The torpedos are 79ft long and carry a nuclear warhead - shooting towards enemy targets beneath the waves at speeds of around 70 knots (80mph).
It is understood to weigh around 100 tons and is also fully autonomous.
Russia claims the warhead is designed to generate an enormous wave that could swamp coastal cities such as New York and Washington.
Pentagon officials have described the weapon as a "new intercontinental, nuclear-armed, nuclear-powered, undersea autonomous torpedo".
Last week former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned Nato leaders to unleash nuclear war on the West if Russia is defeated in Ukraine.
He posted on Telegram: "The defeat of a nuclear power in a conventional war may trigger a nuclear war.
