The French Navy has received the 200th MU 90 lightweight torpedo from the European joint venture company (GEIE).

The MU 90 is a fire-and-forget lightweight torpedo specifically designed for anti-submarine warfare including both conventional and nuclear boats, in all tactical scenarios.

Equipped with a shaped explosive charge with a high penetration capability, the third-generation electrically powered torpedo provides greater range, better performance and enhanced security.

Currently, the French Navy is using the torpedoes from Atlantique 2 maritime patrol aircraft and Lynx helicopters, as well as from F70 and Horizon Class frigates.
