Specifications (RPK-7 Veter)
Specifications (RPK-7 Veter)
Both missiles are torpedo-tube launched, with a solid-fuel rocket engine to power them above the surface. They are dual-role and can be armed with either a 400 mm anti-submarine torpedo or a nuclear depth charge. The Veter's increased range of approximately 100 kilometers was an impressive boost over its predecessor the RPK-2 Vyuga, which could only reach half the distance.
Performance: • Range: 100 km (55 nmi) Payload: • Nuclear depth charge or 400 mm torpedo Guidance: • inertial guidance
