Russian engineers have developed a unique device capable of jamming torpedoes’ target-seeking heads and blinding the sonar equipment used by submarines; the device is due to add significantly to the combat capability of the Russian Navy’s Pacific Fleet.
The Russian newspaper Izvestia reported that a miniature device, which is capable of jamming torpedoes’ target-seeking heads and submarine sonars has been put into service at the Russian Navy.
“The Small-Size Hydroacoustic Countermeasure Device Vist-2” is launched from a submarine or surface ship and creates a powerful acoustic hindrance, which silences the homing heads of enemy torpedoes or enemy submarine sonars.
“Additionally, the 80-centimeter device, Vist-2, which weighs just 13.5 kilograms, can be transformed into a ‘false target’ thanks to the emission of a special signal that simulates a ship or a submarine,” Izvestia said.
