Russian ASW torpedoes in LWAMI 308

I just realized that all Russian based ASW torpedoes(53 cm and TEST-71M) have only a maximum running depth of a mere 250 m.

This means that in the event of an attack by the Russian, the Los Angeles class or the Seawolf could well evade the torpedo by going deep passing 250 m mark. Could Russian based ASW torpedoes able to acquire and homing on deep diving submarine well past 250 m?

The stock non LWAMI maximum depth of the 53 cm is 1,500 feet or more than 400 m.
