wiki say nuclear anti-sub torpedo and has 0.9 Mach in water.........We use SS-N-15 ASW missile from heavy torpedo tubes on bigger ships.Its rough russian equivalent of ASROC though less sophisticated.
Wont compared to ASROC .....SS-N-15 9 is slow ?
looks like it is 24 vls only ......which is low in no number (also will in talwer)
talwer should go with this VL system
found Gorshkov-class frigate quite good fire power 16 AShm and 32 anti air missile

what is your opinion of Shtil-1 vs Barak 8?

Whereas many Westen navies have opted for the use of lightweight 324mm ASW torpedoes for both close in ASW and as helicopter-delivered long range ASW system, Russia has traditionally combined RBU, specifically RBU-60000 with dual purpose heavyweight torpedoes (ASuW/ASW). Any shipborn Ka-27 and Ka-28 use 1 × 350mm (APR-3E), 400mm (AT-1M, VTT-1) or 450mm (UMGT-1 Orlan) ASW-torpedo or -missiles
The RBU-6000 can double as an close-in anti-torpedo self-defence weapon. Only few Western navies (US, South Korea, Japan) still use ASROC, which provides and intermediate weapons between ship and air-launched lightweight torpedo. Russia does have ASW rockets, including 50km 91RE1 member of the Club family (follow on to 45km SS-N-15 and 100km SS-N-16), but these tend to be fairly large and longer range than the US ASROC (which extends the surface and sub launch ASW range of light weights out from 10-12km to 19-22km).
I thought that RBU-6000 only uses unguided bombs which is different then ASROC which uses torpedo
I have no knowledge of RBU-6000 using torpedo as projectile...it is ?
why Russia dont uses 91RE1 like Western navies?
