Although there are only 16 VLS Aster 15/30 launcher tubes, the Bergamini frigate still has other advanced weapons. And another advanced weapon of the Bergamini frigate is the MU90 torpedo.
The MU90 torpedo itself is a weapon that has a very high speed. Quoting from naval-technology.com, it is known that the high speed of the MU90 torpedo is capable of reaching 50 knots. If calculated, the speed of the MU90 torpedo can reach 92.6 km / h. Then for the minimum speed of the MU90 torpedo apparently at 29 knots. Or about 53 km / h in one slide.
As a result of the high speed row in the MU90 torpedo, the cruising range alone can be very far. For the cruising range of the MU90 torpedo, it was able to go as far as 11 km with a maximum speed.
Then, for a minimum speed, the MU90 torpedo is capable of traveling up to a distance of 23 km. From these qualities, the MU90 torpedo can operate in both shallow and deep seas.
