The torpedo bodies themselves supercavitate, not just the props. They couldn’t be referring to the props because the supercavitating torpedoes don’t actually have any as they are rocket powered. The VA-111 Shkval torpedo is available on the world arms market, has been available for decades and has a demonstrable top speed in excess of 200 knots for the export models.
