(quote) hajo you mean the Russian Ekranoplan dubbed the Caspian sea monster which uses Ground effect to kinda skim/fly above the water (unquote).


Yes, Blank (I'm Halo, not Hajo), that's the big beast I was thinking about.  Thanks for the reference.

It's the technological knowledge that matters, not what they have built in numbers and which are now left to rust.

Those rocket torpedos are great. Because they move so fast and have magnetic fuses they're basically fire and forget. Well I guess they'd have to be since they haven't wires. "torpedo in the water bearing 123", fire off a shkval heading 123 set heading for 303 and fire off some decoys. The thing is, shkvals are thunderously loud, if you set one off you've alerted every boat in the hemisphere of your presence and location.

Again Supercavitating tech. is old hat.  Do some reasearch on the subject.  For example a google search would reveal this:


The Rapid Airborne Mine Clearance System (RAMICS) is a targeting, fire control, and gun system which fires a supercavitating projectile as a countermeasure against near surface moored mines.   The LIDAR and gun system are mounted on the helicopter.   The LIDAR directs the gun fire to the target mine.   Mine deflagration utilizes reactive material and kinetic energy of the super cavitating projectile."


Wow the USN may know something on this subject...can it be that they are as good as the mighty Russian Navy?
