Promising electric torpedoes UET-1 (“Ichthyosaurus”) will enter service with Russian nuclear submarines of a number of projects in the coming years, reports TASS.
This was reported to the agency’s correspondents by a source in the military-industrial complex.
According to the interlocutor, the process of re-equipping submarines with the latest torpedoes will begin after they are fully equipped with diesel-electric submarines of the Varshavyanka and Lada types.
According to the agency, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation will purchase 73 torpedoes of this type, and their production volumes will increase from 2023.
Earlier it was also reported that the new submarine “Volkhov” of the Pacific Fleet successfully launched a cruise missile “Caliber” at a ground target in the Sea of Japan.
