Both AKYA and ORKA was showcased with a contra rotating propeller,
However in recent reveals ORKA LWT was seen with a water-jet propulsion.
Also note the changes on the nose, sonar size has shrunk, and probably a better sensor suite is placed in new version.
From here, we can also expect AKYA to have a water-jet propulsion, to be noted from all these we can also conclude the showcased mock-ups wasn't representing the actual model in details but only in the sizes.

Wonder why nobody has not realized it yet :)

to be further noted, any kind of propulsion where propeller (becomes an impeller) is encased in a flow-conditioner (channel-duct) these kind of propulsion is a mix of duct propeller and impeller. More efficient, more silent.

What is the max speed of Akya?

As I read an article from navy post wake homing torpedos should be fast and long range,but akya neither fast nor long range so probably akya specs are not true or there will be a reason that we do not know

In wake homing mode torpedoes has less range because they keep zig-zagging as they converge in a wake of the ship, thus initially torpedo should have a long range (say 50 km) to have 20 km wake homing.
Again, what do we keep telling in here?: None of the specs are the actual specs, except of the dimensions. The given range is limited by the test area, the speed is the test speed which is revealed to public.
It is not 'not true',it is just 'not disclosed', it is 'confidential'.

Its normal not to reveal the actual specs,specially for countries with a sh!tload of ''enemies''.

Not all of the tests have been completed yet, how could the range be defined ?
It is just seen on a presentation prepared for public audience, not actual numbers, still.
Maneuvering & wake homing tests will be conducted within this year.

15km became 30+ now. 👍
Yes there is some progress :) , not referring to the torpedo (there is definitely a progress on that side) but revealing the specs.
