How Soviet Engineers Broke Underwater Physics With a 200-Knot Torpedo

The VA-111 Shkval shattered naval physics by traveling at 200 knots inside a self-generated gas bubble, outrunning any NATO vessel afloat. For decades, Western intelligence scrambled to understand how Soviet engineers bypassed hydrodynamic drag to create an unguided underwater rocket that could destroy a carrier group in minutes. 📍 CHAPTERS 00:00 The Torpedo No One Believed 01:10 Hydrodynamic Theory Without Test Data 02:29 Conditional Approval And Five Year Deadline 03:36 The Problem With Conventional Propellers 04:42 Testing At A Landlocked Range 05:47 Overcoming The Thermal Geometry Trap 07:04 Confirmation Within The Water Tunnel 08:11 Ablative Ceramics Under Extreme Heat 09:17 Loading The First Full Scale Prototype 10:24 Rocket Ignition And Forward Venting 11:46 The Gas Bubble Envelops The Hull 12:48 Accelerating To Two Hundred Knots 13:56 A Clean Launch For The Prototype 15:04 Inertial Guidance With No Correction 16:20 The Weapon Coasts To A Stop 17:28 A Silver Bullet Not Standard Armament 18:31 Operational Deployment In 1977 19:34 Edmond Pope Arrested In Moscow 20:54 Legal Conviction And Subsequent Pardon 21:57 The Unmatched Naval Speed Gap #va111shkval #supercavitatingtorpedo #sovietnavy #underwaterrocket #coldwartechnology #200knottorpedo #lakeissykkul #edmondpope #navalwarfare #hydrodynamicdrag #militaryengineering #russianweapons #submarinetactics #classifiedweapons #declassifiedhistory
