Vietnam is making great progress in researching and manufacturing underwater weapons, especially anti-submarine torpedoes.

| In the past 5 years, in response to the Navy's need to move straight to modernity, the Naval Technical Institute has focused on researching a series of new technologies, especially focusing on sonar technology - sonar technology that appears on mines, torpedoes, anti-submarine ships, submarines and even anti-submarine helicopters. This can be considered the key secret to mastering the underwater area. Photo source: Shutterdock |

| According to the officers of the Naval Technical Institute, this homing head helps torpedoes increase the distance and accuracy in detecting targets. Unfortunately, it is not clear which model of torpedoes in our army this homing head is used for. Photo source: QPVN |

| However, the successful manufacture of torpedo homing heads opens up a new direction of development - that is, to manufacture torpedoes entirely domestically instead of using imported products. Thereby, saving a significant amount of the State budget in the context of the country still facing certain economic difficulties. Photo source: QPVN |

| Currently, Vietnam is equipped with many types of torpedoes produced by the Soviet Union/Russia, but basically there are 2 sizes: 400mm (mainly on Petya 159A ships) and 533mm. Photo: Loading 533mm SET-53 torpedoes onto Petya 159AE anti-submarine ship. Photo source: QPVN |

TEST-71 is equipped with an acoustic guidance system combined with receiving control commands via wire, making it extremely difficult to jam. Firing range 15 to 25km depending on cruising speed.
