New Submarines Launched

Iran navy equipped with four new submarines

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?

Hummm, I wonder why you took it personally. I meant PressTV aficionados abroad. Otherwise I was much more lefty myself than most of the readers here.

I have been called a lot of things but not a lefty!

The only thing from Leftestan I like is the music:

  • rimsky korsakov
  • rachmaninoff
  • ippolitov ivanov (Caucasian Sketches)
  • tchaikovsky
  • others

I also like Dr. Zhivago.

I am no lefty!

I 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!

But submarines are useless against the real threat, the real enemy of the islamist regime: the Iranian people.

I don't think that the beautiful girl from Iranian Personals (picture on the right) will fit into the mini submarines!

 

And if they want to fit the ex-head of Sepah, Firoozabadi in there, good luck!

I encourage hamvatans to boycott this PRESS TV dominated website

by Anonymouse on

As 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.

"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!


mahmoudg

they are so small

by mahmoudg on

fits no more than 5 people from the looks of it, and they want to go up against the Los Angeles and Ohio class American subs!!!!! I will give these bozoos about 2 days before they are sunk.

These characters on the Press TV look so disgusting. I mean how can they even go to bed at night knowing what a brutal and inhumane government they are supporting.

It seems they have their clothes hanging out there on a rope to dry too. Of course it might not be the best way since these submarines supposedly submerge in the water :)
