Submarine TOLOKA unveiled in Lviv
Ukraine Unveils Massive Underwater Drone Capable of Carrying 5 Tons of Explosives
At the Defense Tech Valley investment summit in Lviv, Ukraine, the General Staff of the Armed Forces presented an updated underwater drone, the latest model of the TOLOKA, known as the TLK - 1000. This new drone is a giant variant, ranging from 4 to 12 meters, and is capable of detonating 5 tons of explosives deep within an enemy's territory.
The TLK - 1000 is a larger version of the previously mentioned underwater drones, following the TLK - 150, a crewless, highly maneuverable mini-submarine that is 2.5 meters long and can traverse up to 100 km. The TLK - 150 can carry at least 20 kg of explosives, with a maximum capacity of 50 kg.
The second underwater drone variant, the TLK - 400, ranges from 4 to 6 meters. It boasts a larger 'hold' capable of carrying 500 kg of explosives, but beyond this, no specific information about its capabilities is available.
The presentation of the TLK - 1000 and the TLK - 400 marked the first time these models had been shown during a demonstration. Unfortunately, there is no information available about which state developed or acquired the underwater drone model TLK-1000.
It's worth noting that the first model of the TOLOKA drone, the TLK - 150, is already in service. The TLK - 400's range is an enormous 1200 km, while the TLK - 1000 can traverse distances up to 2000 km.
This development in underwater drone technology is significant, as it could potentially provide Ukraine with a strategic advantage in its ongoing conflict with Russia. However, the specifics of the drones' capabilities, including their operational range, speed, and communication systems, remain unknown.
