The Hoot (Шаблон:Lang-fa; Whale) is an Iranian supercavitation torpedo claimed to travel at approximately Шаблон:Convert, several times faster than a conventional torpedo.[1] It was claimed to have been successfully test-fired[2] from a surface ship against a dummy submarine during the Iranian military exercise "Great Prophet" (Шаблон:Lang) on 2 April 2006 and 3 April 2006. Iran test-fired the torpedo within its territorial waters in the Strait of Hormuz in May 2017.[3]

The official Iranian news agency IRNA claims the torpedo was produced and developed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (Шаблон:Lang). Most military and industry analysts have concluded that the Hoot is reverse engineered from the Russian VA-111 Shkval supercavitation torpedo which travels at the same speed.[4][5][6]
