Russia is working on a new high-speed torpedo dubbed ‘Khishchnik’ (“Predator”) which is to replace Shkval underwater anti-ship missile currently in service. The details regarding this new project has been meticulously kept confidential, however Elektropribor Design Bureau is reportedly in the last stages of development. Shkval entered service in 1977 and has a speed of no more than 140 kilometers per hour thanks to its solid fuel engine.
