I found some interesting info on this page:

http://milit.ru/torpedoes.htm

Of interest are these expressions:
"passive acoustic noncontact exploder"
"radically new optical exploder"
"active acoustic noncontact exploder"

I know that there is not realy any techical explanation, but the page seems to be written by trustworthy people.

The question now is, how would such fuses react on CMs? Is the stance that torpedos do not detonate on CMs still applicable, or would at least some detonate on CMs because any of the above fuses gets triggered?

Also, what kind of fuses do US torpedos use? Only magnetic and contact? If so, would contact fuses be the only detonators against titanium subs like the Alfas or Sierras?
