Very small, very light (that's why they used it instead of great APR family - oh yes, APRs ARE fast, but too heavy for that system... but APRs could be raplacement for Stallion torps).

We can try that last too as a hypo. In my experience at least, the present situation is such that you basically would never carry a Stallion. Its torpedo is inferior (and will remain so after even this latest downgrade of the torp on the SS-N-27). The missile itself has greater range but of limited utilitity since you won't really shoot that far anyway and the SS-N-27 has more than enough reach...

From the link you gave, do you thought about 400 mm (15.75") APSET-95
torp ? Come on, 30.000m of range for 400mm torp ? It's very questionable one, probably two different torpedos are mixed here, the name from one and specs (guessed) from another...

Well, I suppose it won't be at 50 knots for 30000 (too far out of the zone for battery driven), but if I assume it can run 10-12 km at 50 knots (reasonable considering it is supposed to be a 90s torp itself and larger than Mu-90), 30000 yards may well be possible at say 30-35.
