re: #136 darthstar

It’s a torpedo. Make no mistake, but it’s a torpedo that is semi autonomous that allows it to identify and target a ship. It doesn’t appear to be a missile either, given that it’s got ducted props.

I’m all for the Ukrainians puffing up their tech to claim capabilities in excess of what they’re able to deliver, but it seems to be a smallish torpedo (there are larger versions in the works).

By way of comparison, US ADCAP torpedoes are in the same range as the TLK-1000. Mk 54 torpedoes are around the size of the TLK-150/400.
