It is a corvette not a cruiser... They shoud have buyed ADA class, only for the vls is not that special for a corvette. If you want to use it as a frigatte not enough armed, only rich middle east countries wasting ther money.

And what do they want to do with landing ship?

This is a 3250 tons ship.. if Iran calls a 1400 tons ship a frigate.. than Qatar can call this one a cruiser..:lol:
On a serious note though, there are different standards in the world.. but this is a frigate not a cruiser and not a corvette either..

does it has anti submarin system?
It goes without saying that it has a sonar and torpedoes, but it is mainly an AAW ship..

In any case the NH-90 Helicopter on board carries the MU-90 torpedo.. and towed sonar.. but I really doubt that any kind of warship won't carry a sonar and torpedoes even if it is AAW dedicated..
