South China Morning reported that Chinese experts are working on a project to develop a unique “torpedo missile”.
In a newspaper publication, scientists involved in the project were quoted, “We are currently working on a project of a missile about 5 meters long, capable of flying at 2.5 times the speed of sound, and rising to about 10 km and then covers a distance of 20 km. Dive underwater to work as a cutting torpedo.
Once the missile approaches its target within 10 km, it enters the torpedo position, moving underwater at a speed of 100 m/s, creating an air bubble around its body to reduce resistance of water, maneuvering, changing its course and, if necessary, diving to a depth of 100 meters. .
According to available information, “The main challenge facing scientists is to develop a propulsion system for this missile that provides proper propulsion in air and underwater, so Chinese experts will use boron to feed this system. The element actively interacts with the two environments and releases a large amount of heat.” “.
