India has always been committed to improving itselfMilitarystrength, especiallyNavyStrength. However, IndiaNavy's combat capability has always been criticized. In order to change this situation, India has been working hard to improve its military and combat capabilities, hoping to become a stronger country on a global scaleNavy。Therefore, India began to work on the development of a longer rangeAnti-submarine torpedoes, hoping to expand the effective strike range of anti-submarine warfare through the increase in the power of armaments. This move has received widespread attention from the outside world and has raised questions about India's military research and development capabilities.
This one was developed in IndiaAnti-submarine missilesThe system was namedSupersonicMissilesAuxiliary torpedo launch system, it is actually oneMissilesand torpedo suits, specifically for IndiaNavyof the battle. ThisThe original intention of the design was to passMissilesQuickly deliver the torpedo to the target location for a precise strike. Specifically, whenMissilesWhen flying quickly towards the target's position, the torpedo is released and attacks the target. This design method not only increases the effective range of anti-submarine strikes, but also increases the operational flexibility.
The Indian defense organization DRDO has publicly stated that thisMissilesThe firing range of the torpedo can reach more than 600 km, createdAnti-submarine torpedoesA new record for range. In addition, India has set up the launch system to support land-based launches, using two-stage solid-fuel units for power propulsion and guidance. However, this design method has aroused dissatisfaction and doubts from many netizens. Some believe that this is a modern version of the Ark for the Sword, as India relies on land-based launches to locate targets and then launchMissilesTorpedo. In a way, India is a kind of dependence on R&DMissilesCarrying a quick strike with torpedoesSystem.
According to official Indian propaganda, thisMissilesThe range of torpedoes exceeds that of the current developed countriesAnti-submarine torpedoes20 times more. For comparison, the famous American anti-submarineAsroc has a range of no more than 20 km, Russian onesAnti-submarine missilesQuartz has a range of 30 km. ChineseAnti-submarine torpedoesThe firing range is up to 50 km, which surpasses the United States and Russia. However, in response to this, foreign ** and netizens have expressed doubts. They believe that thisMissilesTorpedo dependenceMissilesThe range of the torpedo itself is actually only about 20 km. Thus, India's claimed range superiority does not come from a technological breakthrough in the torpedo itself, butMissilesThe ability to carry and fly.
Anti-submarine missilesStriking targets are achieved mainly through launch and terminal flight. However, the lack of the ability to fly in the middle section leads to certain limitations in range. Currently, on a global scaleAnti-submarine missilesThe range limit is generally around 50 km. This limitation is mainly due to the effective range of the sonar detection system. Even in the noisy environment of the depths of the ocean, there are significant limitations to the accuracy of detecting and locking on to specific targets. Thus, a range beyond 50 km does not allow for accurate targeting and striking effectiveness.
In general, India claims to be the strongest in the worldAnti-submarine missileshas some drawbacks. Despite the fact that a certain breakthrough has been made in technology, the land-based launch method on which it relies as wellMissilesThe design of the carrying torpedo is such that its range advantage does not come from the performance breakthrough of the torpedo itself. At the same time,Anti-submarine missilesThe range is also limited by the limitations of the detection system and the accuracy of the target lock. Hence the IndianAnti-submarine missilesIn practice, it may not be at the level of the so-called strongest in the world.
However, India has been committed to the development of its own military industry and hopes to improve itself through arms buildingNavyStrength. Although at this stage, India is inAnti-submarine missilesThe field may not be able to surpass China, the United States and RussiaMilitaryBig country, but as a developing country, India's future progress and breakthroughs remain to be seen. For India, attention should be paid to the comprehensive improvement of technology and combat capabilities in order to achieve a real increase in anti-submarine strength.
