China’s secret torpedo resistant to jamming, threatens enemy aircraft carriers

The footage showcases a rare demonstration of Chinese submarine attack capabilities.

The clip shows the target—probably a retired Type 074 amphibious landing vessel—hit by the Yu-10 torpedo, causing its stern to rise out of the water from the explosion’s shock wave and a towering column of water nearly 100 meters (328 feet) high, the South China Morning Post reported.

According to Ordnance Industry Science Technology, the torpedo was probably a Chinese-developed Yu-10, which reportedly entered service in 2015, though no official specifications were released.

Due to the torpedo’s significant power, an aircraft carrier would likely face sinking, and destroyers or landing docks could be put out of operation even if they don’t sink completely, the Chinese publication added.
