AFP: Iran's navy on Sunday took delivery of four new mini submarines of the home-produced Ghadir class, media reports said. The navy already owns seven submarines of this type which weigh 120 tonnes and were first launched in 2007. Iran has described the Ghadir as stealth submarines, hardly detectable by sonar and aimed at coastal operations in shallow waters, notably in the Gulf. The vessel is based on North Korean models of the Yono class and can shoot torpedoes, but their main tasks appear to be moving commandos, laying mines and reconnaissance missions, experts say.

It seems they are coming up with a new type of toy every 6 months! That's a pretty good pace!
What do you think they will present next?

by benross on Sun Aug 08, 2010 06:23 PM PDTI sincerely ask all you lefties and hippies of 60s, now apologetic to IRI because of the shame of helping the creation of such regime, to go back to your original roots. You don't have to change the subject. You can even be GREEN still. But back to your roots. All you have to do is to go 'til you find a sea of GREEN and live beneath the waves in your... SUBMARINE.
This is an easy way out of being apologetic to IRI and much more fun... but of-course there is Elahe option too.
Great News!
by yousef on Sun Aug 08, 2010 06:13 PM PDTBut submarines are useless against the real threat, the real enemy of the islamist regime: the Iranian people.

I encourage hamvatans to boycott this PRESS TV dominated website
by Anonymouse on Sun Aug 08, 2010 05:42 PM PDTAs you can see from the articles, this purportedly Iranian site's content is anti Iranian and comes largely from an IRI/PRESS TV/Channels 1 through 5 perspective, which is offensive to the vast majority of Iranians. Please do not engage with this site except to warn other Iranians.
Everything is sacred
"hardly" detectable by sonar = "MASSIVE" investment sanctions!

That was funny! But let's focus on IRI propaganda. These submarines are the property of Iranian army and after IRI they will serve for training the crew... at least during their five years useful life!
they are so small
