ET52 torpedo is the Chinese development of the Italian Alenia A244-S light ASW acoustic homing torpedo, and is considered by many domestic Chinese sources as Chinese equivalent of the A244-S Mod. Italy (Italia officially the Italian Republic, (Repubblica Italiana is located on the Italian Peninsula in Southern Europe, and on the two largest Alenia Aeronautica is an Aerospace engineering corporation in Italy, a subsidiary of Finmeccanica. A244/s is a lightweight fire-and-forget Torpedo employed for Anti-submarine warfare. A244/s is a lightweight fire-and-forget Torpedo employed for Anti-submarine warfare. 2 version. ET52 is essentially the A244-S torpedo with technologies of US Mk 46 Mod. 2 torpedo incorporated. A244/s is a lightweight fire-and-forget Torpedo employed for Anti-submarine warfare.

China purchased around 40 Italian Alenia A244-S light ASW torpedo in 1987 for evaluation and reverse engineering. Italy (Italia officially the Italian Republic, (Repubblica Italiana is located on the Italian Peninsula in Southern Europe, and on the two largest Alenia Aeronautica is an Aerospace engineering corporation in Italy, a subsidiary of Finmeccanica. A244/s is a lightweight fire-and-forget Torpedo employed for Anti-submarine warfare. Year 1987 ( MCMLXXXVII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link displays 1987 Gregorian calendar) At the time, China was in the process of mastering the license production of the US Mk 46 Mod. 2 torpedo according to the deal first signed between China and USA in 1985. Designed to attack high-performance submarines the Mark 46 Torpedo is the backbone of the U Year 1985 ( MCMLXXXV) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link displays 1985 Gregorian calendar) The 705th Institute (also known as Xi'an Precision Machinery Research Institute, 西安精密机械研究所) tasked to evaluate and reverse engineering the A244-S torpedo was also responsible for Mk 46 Mod. 2 torpedo program in China, with many of the team members working on both projects. UserEl_C --> Xi'an ( Postal map spelling: Sian is the Capital of the Shaanxi province in the A244/s is a lightweight fire-and-forget Torpedo employed for Anti-submarine warfare. Designed to attack high-performance submarines the Mark 46 Torpedo is the backbone of the U Chinese researchers suggested that since Otto fuel II powered torpedo could cost as much as three times of electrically powered torpedo, the cheaper electrically powered torpedo should be developed also. Otto fuel II is a Monopropellant used to drive Torpedoes and other weapon systems The suggestion was accepted, and it was decided to that the technologies of both the Mk 46 Mod. 2 torpedo and A244-S torpedo should be applied to each other to enhance the performance, and 705th Institute (also known as Xi'an Precision Machinery Research Institute, 西安精密机械研究所) was put in charge of A244-S torpedo project in addition to the Mk 46 Mod. Designed to attack high-performance submarines the Mark 46 Torpedo is the backbone of the U A244/s is a lightweight fire-and-forget Torpedo employed for Anti-submarine warfare. UserEl_C --> Xi'an ( Postal map spelling: Sian is the Capital of the Shaanxi province in the 2 torpedo project. Although incorporating the best features to each other certainly improved the performance for both torpedoes, the greatest benefit by far was that due to many shared components, production techniques, and other technologies, the logistic support was significantly reduced and the overall cost was also significantly lowered.
