Corporation “Tactical Missiles” completed testing of the new electric torpedo ET-1E. The new ammunition showed the safety of deployment both on nuclear, and diesel-electric submarines. This was told in the state research and production enterprise “Region”.
New torpedo tested on nuclear submarines and diesel-electric submarines, recognized as completely safe for use. ET-1E – modular electric torpedo, therefore, additional equipment can be installed on it. It is initially shorter than conventional torpedoes, therefore there is up to one and a half meters to accommodate additional modules. Thanks to the installed digital hardware, adding modules does not require reprogramming.
This torpedo is much shorter than those samples, which have been previously developed. Due to the use of new technologies, it was possible to make it much shorter than existing samples and get about one and a half meters of margin to accommodate any additional equipment.. It is modular, it can take on additional modules- TASS quotes the words of the KTRV representative.
According to information from the developer of GNPP “Region”, electric torpedo ET-1T is capable of hitting any surface, underwater and coastal targets at a distance of up to 18 km in difficult interference environment, including in shallow water and under ice. Designed for submarines with torpedo tubes of caliber 533 mm.
For the first time, a torpedo was shown as part of an international forum “Army-2022”, but still in 2021 year, KTRV reported on ongoing tests of a certain electric torpedo, whose name was not revealed. With a high degree of probability, this was the ET-1E.
