The electric torpedo (ET-1E for its export variant) has been developed by the Region State Research and Production Enterprise, which is Russia's largest developer of air-launch torpedoes and weapons.

The torpedo can hit any surface, submarine and coastal target at a distance of up to 18 km (11 miles) amid electronic countermeasures and even in shallow water and under ice. It can be launched from submarines equipped with 533mm torpedo tubes.

TASS reported earlier that the ET-1E electric torpedo had undergone tests on a nuclear-powered and diesel-electric submarine, confirming the safety of its deployment.

It is also reported that it can be equipped with additional modules due to its modular design. When completing a task, it can make a number of decisions on its own, including jamming avoidance responses.

The ET-1E was unveiled by KTRV at the Army 2022 international military technical forum, held at the Patriot congress and exhibition center in Kubinka near Moscow on August 15-21.
