The RPK-2 Vyuga (
Russian SFSR
in the 1960s.
Analogous to the
solid fuel rocket and delivering its payload up to 45 kilometres (28 mi) away. The payload ranges from a simple depth charge to a 200 kt nuclear depth bomb
.
Design
The RPK-2 uses a 82R torpedo or 90R nuclear depth charge in the 533 mm version, and a 83R torpedo carrying[clarification needed] or 86R nuclear depth charge in 650 mm version.
Both submarine- and surface-launched versions exist. The surface-launched versions are used by the Slava, Kirov, Neustrashimy and Udaloy classes. The submarine-launched versions are used by the Akula, Oscar, Typhoon, Delta, Kilo, and Borei classes. However, the munition package used in either is identical and hence the ship-launched version is launched into the water and submerges before firing its engines.
