What it takes to 'fly' at 100m/sec under the water?
Russians supposedly have torpedos that do that or even faster.
Russians supposedly have torpedos that do that or even faster.
The Russian torpedo uses a combination of propulsion methods, including an electric motor, a gas turbine, and a rocket engine. This allows it to reach high speeds while underwater.
A high-speed torpedo is used for attacking enemy ships and submarines. The high speed allows it to reach its target quickly, making it difficult for the target to evade or defend against.
The guidance system of the Russian torpedo uses advanced technology, including sensors and computer algorithms, to continuously adjust the direction and speed of the torpedo in order to accurately reach its target.
One potential danger is that the high speed of the torpedo can cause it to lose control or malfunction, potentially causing harm to friendly vessels or civilians. Another danger is that the high speed can create a large wake, making the torpedo easier to detect and track.
At this time, the Russian torpedo is the only known torpedo capable of reaching 100m/sec. However, other countries and militaries may be working on developing similar technology in order to enhance their own naval capabilities.
