the drive portal drew attention to a spectacular video of a "water shot" of a russian submarine posted on the network.
The authors cannot accurately identify the submarine, but they assume that it is a Kilo-class diesel-electric boat. to him, nato includes submarines of projects 877 "halibut" and 636 "varshavyanka".
The process of loading and launching a torpedo from a submarine is surprisingly complex, the author of the portal explains.
Here, the balance between the weight of the projectile, the water filling the launch tube around it, and the compressed air that is used to push the weapon out plays an important role.
All this is carefully thought out and controlled by the valve system. When the submarine and its crew are undergoing exercises or training, the torpedo is often not loaded into the vehicle at all. And if in this case a signal is received about the launch, then a powerful jet of water simply flies out of the gun under pressure. In fact, this is an analog of a blank shot.
Actually, this moment was captured on video. Viewers who filmed it on smartphones were doused with water from head to toe. But they seemed ready for it.
