IndiaNavyIt has long been considered insufficient in strength, and in order to improve its armament and combat power, India began to develop anti-submarine with a longer rangeTorpedoes。The R&D project is called:SupersonicMissilesAuxiliaryTorpedoesThe launch system is designed to expand the effective strike range of anti-submarine warfare by increasing the power of armaments. Although IndianNavyTheir strength is highly controversial, but their efforts and R&D attempts cannot be ignored.

This combination is very important for India because they want to be able toNavyfield to gain a greater advantage.
According to the Indian defense organization DRDO publicly, theMissilesTorpedoesThe firing range can reach more than 600 km, creating the world anti-submarineTorpedoesA new record for range. India has also designed this launch system to be able to support land-based launches, using a two-stage solid-fuel unit to provide power and thrustMissilesTorpedoesAble to hit targets more stably and accurately.
However, this R&D project has also caused some controversy. Some people think thisMissilesTorpedoesThe reason why the range record can become the best in the world is mainly due toMissilesThe ability to fly, whileTorpedoesThe range itself is not outstanding. TorpedoesThe firing range is only 20 km, the weight is 50 kg, and theMissilesTorpedoesIt does not have the ability to fly in the middle of the course, and can only carry out launch and terminal flights. Therefore, some netizens were not impressed by India's exaggeration in its propaganda.
If it will be IndianAnti-submarine missileswith other countriesAnti-submarine **Comparing it, it can be found that it does have a competitive advantage in terms of range. For example, the famous one in the United StatesAnti-submarine **Asroc has a range of only 20 km, compared to the Russian oneAnti-submarine missilesThe range of quartz is also only 30 km. In contrast, India'sMissilesTorpedoesThe range exceeds that of these countriesAnti-submarine **Range.
However, range is not a measureThe only criterion of merit and inferiority. In anti-submarine warfare, the accuracy of detecting enemy targets is equally important as the ability to lock on. According to the current state of the art, the effective range of the deployed sonar detection system is about 50 kilometers while dispatchedAnti-submarine **After conducting coordinated reconnaissance, the anti-submarine range can be extended to about 100 km. Therefore, India's claimed range of more than 600 km may not have much advantage in real combat.
Internationally, intercontinentalMissilesThe firing range is a stricter standard, and the three powerful factions of China, the United States and Russia occupy a dominant position. India inAnti-submarine **Fielding beyond these three countries remains a distant goal. Therefore, it will be IndianAnti-submarine missilesExaggerating the world's first range may not be accurate, and other factors need to be considered in actual combat.
Despite the fact that India developed itAnti-submarine missilesIt has a certain advantage in range, but from a global perspective, it does not surpass the three powerful factions of China, the United States and RussiaAnti-submarine **。In anti-submarine warfare, range is important, but what is even more critical is to accurately lock on to the target and strike at it. In developed countries, the effective range of sonar detection technology is about 50 kilometers, which is already the limit that the current technology can reach. Therefore, the range of more than 600 km, claimed by India, may not have a great advantage in real operation.
Exaggerating the results of R&D in propaganda, calling it the world's first range, this could be IndiaNavyA propaganda tool that wants to achieve a greater advantage on a global scale. However, in actual combat, we have not seen that India has been able to surpass the three powerful factions of China, the United States, and RussiaAnti-submarine **。Therefore, it is inaccurate to exaggerate India's R&D achievements as the first in the world.
In short, India is inAnti-submarine missilesSome progress has been made in research and development, but it is still a distant goal to surpass the three powerful factions of China, the United States and Russia. In the evaluation of oneIt is not only the range that needs to be considered, but also other factors such as accuracy and lock-on ability. Only if a substantial breakthrough can be made in these areas will it be possible for India to do soAnti-submarine **A major breakthrough has been made in the field.
