Question regarding Soviet/Russian 650mm tubes

Kapitan · 07-11-18, 04:14 PM

Most of the 650mm have been phased out mainly now only being used by SS-N- 15 & 16 pretty much all the 65 version torpedoes are gone the 65-76 is definitely out (went after kursk)

65-73 is not guided and was intended to be a nuclear tipped torpedo it has since been phased out.

there is a 65-73A which came about in the early 90's i do believe it has now been phased out as its powered by HTP like the rest of the 65 series.

I do think they did try and re engineer a 65cm torpedo with electric motors and wire guided but to be honest i'm not sure if it materialized
