MG-757 Anapa-M, also described as Anapa-ME, is a Russian shipborne anti-saboteur sonar built by Taganrog Plant Priboy for harbor-defense and close ship-protection work. It is described as detecting and tracking combat swimmers or diver-propulsion targets, passing target coordinates to anti-saboteur grenade-launcher control systems, and appearing in the sensor fits of several Russian patrol, corvette, frigate, and mine-countermeasures classes.

Detection And Control Tasks

The Anapa-ME product description frames the sonar as a close-protection sensor rather than a stand-alone weapon: it searches underwater approaches, classifies detected targets, tracks them automatically, measures target coordinates, and can feed those coordinates into anti-saboteur grenade-launcher control systems.

TaskCatalog contextSupported detail
DetectionClose harbor and ship protectionDesigned to find underwater swimmers moving with fins or diver-propulsion equipment.
TrackingOperator workloadThe listed fit supports automated target tracking and at least four simultaneous tracked targets.
Weapon cueingCounter-saboteur responseThe system can provide current target coordinates to an anti-saboteur grenade-launcher control system.

Public product-reference material describes low- and high-frequency antenna elements, automated coordinate measurement, mine-countermeasures control-system cueing, and an antenna package carried by a remotely operated underwater vehicle. Open reporting ties the sonar to the Project 12700/12701 Alexandrit mine-countermeasures family, while Weapons.rf identifies Aquamarin as developer and Taganrog Plant Priboy as producer.
