"The Paket-NK antisubmarine system is mounted virtually on all surface ships currently under construction for the Russian Navy," Krylov said.

"The trials of the system have shown the high efficiency of the MPT antisubmarine torpedo and the AT anti-torpedo technology," he added.

According to Krylov, foreign developers of similar systems have also intensified their work in this sphere.

"The United States, Italy and Germany are currently developing anti-torpedo technology planned for integration into the existing surface ship protection systems to create complex automated systems of various surface ships’ defense," the CEO said.
