RBU 6000 is not really my favorite thing if we are talking about ASW, it's something else entirely. ASW role is indeed better suited for corvettes and light frigates, so i'm hoping at least the future replacement for Pattimura-class could be fitted with better ASW suite, TASS (CAPTAS 1?) and of course ASW heli with dipping sonar, better arms up those Panthers. Btw is it possible to fit surface combatants with torpedo countermeasure? Actually, an ASW MPA could be a tremendous boost to our ASW capability, especially in long-range hunting scenario, where immediate response from the surface fleet is unavailable, of course i meant something more than these duckface CN-235 MPA, you know it, and some information sources confirms the military's interest with that aircraft, but then there's a fight of whether the Air Force or the Navy get to operate it.
is there any MPA aircraft in our current inventory that can drop torpedoes or sonobuoy ?
