The system was designed in [[Yekaterinburg|Sverdlovsk]], [[Russian SFSR]] in the 1960s. Analogous to the [[SUBROC]] missile previously used by the [[US Navy]], it is designed to be fired from a 533 mm torpedo tube. It is boosted by a choice of mechanisms depending on model before clearing the water, firing a [[solid propellant#Solid propellant rockets and projectiles|solid fuel]] rocket and delivering its payload up to {{convert|45|km}} away. The payload ranges from a simple [[depth charge]] to a 200 kt [[nuclear depth bomb]].
