R.

Russia / Soviet Union

• Torpedo 53-39 Standard torpedo used by Soviet submarines at the beginning of the Second World War
• Torpedo 53-39MP was a further developed version from the Cold World War of the unguided 53-39 and functioned as an area search torpedo .
• Torpedoes ET-46 and ET-56, copies of the German G-7e torpedoes that were developed in the Soviet Union in the 1950s.
• Torpedo 53-57 was an unguided torpedo for use against surface ships from the Cold War. With a top speed of up to 51 knots, it was very fast and could carry a conventional warhead as well as a nuclear warhead .
• Torpedo 53-61 from the Cold War was a further development of the 53-57 and was able to track targets independently with built-in sensors.
• SET-40 , a light torpedo for submarine combat with active target search from 1962.

S.

Sweden

• FFV Type 61 , heavy torpedo that was primarily intended for use against surface targets from submarines, ships and coastal positions.
• FFV Type 42 , light torpedo for use by helicopters against submarines. First torpedo that could still be steered in the air.
