"A new ET-1E electric torpedo will be presented at our exposition at Army-2022. It can hit any surface and underwater targets, stationary marine and coastal objects at a maximum distance of up to 18 km in all waters of the World Ocean in a complex interference situation, including in shallow water and under ice. It has a speed of 30 to 50 knots," the corporation said, noting that its main advantage is "noiselessness and stealth, it is almost impossible to detect it at distant borders."
As told in KTRV, ET-1E can be used from submarines with torpedo tubes of 534 mm caliber equipped with electric data entry units.
ET-1E was developed at the State Research and Production Enterprise "Region" (as part of KTRV), which is the largest Russian developer of naval torpedo and aviation bomb weapons.
Also, according to KTRV, other developments of the "Region" will be presented at the exposition - a corrected aerial bomb with a TV-correlation homing head KAB-500Kr, an aerial bomb with satellite guidance equipment and a high-explosive warhead KAB-500S-E, an anti-submarine corrected aerial bomb "Zagon-1" aviation anti-submarine missile APR-3ME, a small-sized anti-submarine the Package-E/NK complex with an anti-torpedo and an armament complex with a high-speed Shkval-E submarine missile.
