Futlyar is a wire-guided, combustion-driven torpedo with a top speed about 50 kn (93 km/h; 58 mph) and a maximum depth capability of more than 500 m (1,600 ft). It would be able to hit targets at a range of about 50 km (27 nmi; 31 mi). It will first equip the new Borei and Yasen classes of nuclear submarines. [1] [2] [3]
