Shkval E

Pigfish · 12-10-05, 07:19 PM

Got this from Janes-does anyone know more about this? :hmm:

"Shkval-E underwater rocket promoted for harbour role
The Russian Tactical Missiles Corporation JSC is marketing a short-range anti-ship missile system armed with a conventional-warhead variant of the Shkval supercavitation underwater rocket-torpedo, writes Miroslav Gyurosi. It is being promoted as an anti-surface ship weapon able to defend harbours and beachheads or to enforce a naval blockade."

the did say they would bring out a more modern one the VA115 i doubt this is it, its like the MK48 and MK48ADCAP just an update

Good find. Using Shkval for harbor defense seems a bit of a stretch, tho.

I agree with Bill. Normal mines are a heck of a lot cheaper.

Will be interesting say 20 years from now what advances super cavitation will play in the worlds Navys. If Im still alive.

A looong time ago I posted a pic of an American super cav torpedo. It was from an arms show. I lost the pic and link long ago. Does anyone recall what Im talking about? And if so do you still have the pic/link you could post?

I think It was a Mcdonell-Douglas torpedo.
