At Strategy page there was an article on this. It seems this underwater
missile is very short range, 5-7 km, and extremely limited steerage.
Notice that no one else has developed such a missile, only the Russians
make them. Per the article the missile is a last ditch defense system.


Think again. We have an underwater supercavitating projectile that breaks
the sound barrier. We also have supercavitating bullets:

Which was probably copied from the Russians Prior to the announcement of
the Russian underwater rocket (in 1995) no U.S. supercavitation torpedo was
in development AFAIK.
