This is a modern torpedo, and beneath its skin lies an incredible feat of engineering divided into several specialized sections.
Right at the nose is the guidance section, packed with advanced sonar arrays.
Instead of just blind thrust, it sends acoustic pulses across the ocean, processing the return echoes to track and lock onto enemy submarines.
But Sailors inside the submarine can steer the weapon manually through an ultra-thin wire link, fine-tuning its trajectory toward the exact target before detonating its high-explosive warhead right beneath the hull.
But Russian torpedoes,
however, often rely on a completely different tactic.
Rather than pinging through the water column, they use upward-pointing sensors to detect the turbulence and micro-bubbles left behind by a ship's wake making them almost impossible to decoy.
Even deadlier are air-dropped torpedoes.
