OVERVIEW: The APR-3 is an airborne-delievered, rocket-powered ASW active/passive acoustic homing torpedo with an 74 kg. warhead.

DETAILS:  The APR-3 (Aviacionnaia Podvodnaia Raketa-3) is an rocket powered ASW torpedo utilizing a sold-fuel turbowaterjet for power. The range of the homing system is 1500-2,000 meters. Could be used to depths of 2,600 feet (800 m). The missile performs silent target search by scanning underwater space during gravity submersion along a spiral trajectory withoutstarting the engine. The turbo-hydrojet engine is started as soon as the target has been detected.  THe missile cruises at up to 80 km/hour, with a maximum speed of 104 km/hour, ensuring target engagement within the missile's short  113 second endurance, minimizing target reaction time. Can be deployed in water at least least 100 meters deep in Sea States up to 6.
