Have any pics or spec for those 90 knot boats?
defence.pk/threads/mrtp-22-kangal-a-turkish-concept-against-piracy.76749/
this is an old thread,basically shows the Kangal based on MRTP22 Kaan Class boat. Its rather called to boat because of its size . In brochure its told 85 knots, but its given with 85-90 percentage MCR( machinery continous rate) and the engines installed on these kind boats have designed to run 110 percentage for 1 hour at least . So in Trials , i have experienced ( not by boarding but on shore ) this guy hit to 90 knots,and passed it while all loaded ,in calm water.
So actually this Kangal also a FAC , adding up one missile system isnt a big deal
there is a R/C fore gun , which is equipped with stabilized deck,and E/O sensors, also complete radar and E/Warning systems, and accomodation for special force and a deployable RHIB boat on stern.
Calling a boat (actually just a boat ) to be FAC honestly makes it ridilicious , call it just a boat equipped with warfare systems, the original picture you showed ( where british version ) seems to be leisure one, and even design criteria of a leisure and naval boat is completely different. A basic question, british version seems to be a power boat, which has no additional accomodation on it. How can iranian reverse engineered ( basically copied ) version, maintains the same speed,while weight is increased, how did you maintain motion stability at 70+ knots while there is extra added weight on topside. I want to ask,are you sure iranian copy of boat reachs to same speed with britis version
To note it, a FAC is rather called a FAC when its equipped with sophisticated systems, rather than just a basic navigation radar ,and some unguided multi barrel rockets .
yet another BS .
before seraj , the fastest FAC in world was this :
Skjold-class corvettes (skjold means "shield" in
Norwegian) are a class of six large, superfast, stealth missile craft in service with the
Royal Norwegian Navy. The boats were formerly classed as MTBs (
motor torpedo boats) but, from 2009, the Royal Norwegian Navy has described them as
corvettes (
korvett) because their seaworthiness is seen as comparable to corvettes, and because they do not carry torpedoes. They were built at the
Umoe Mandal yard.
Although the Skjold class corvettes remain the fastest armed craft in the world with 60 knots (110 km/h), the unarmed
Canadian Navy high speed patrol craft hydrofoil prototype
HMCS Bras d'Or attained speeds of over
63 knots (117 km/h).
[2] The
HMCS Bras d'Or was cancelled and never put into active duty.

which had 60 knot speed .
there are boats with higher speeds even in iran , but this does not make them an FAC .
an FAC carries radars , missiles , machine guns and sometimes even sonar and torpedo .
i am curious on one point honestly,
if there are faster boats in iran, why dont you just make them FACs , but copy the british one? British one also just a small boat (be honest its a powerboat), isnt this being a dilemma?
Another point, i am curious to see those faster boats
bringing wikipedia doesnt make it legal, most of FAC or FIC ( fast intervention ) has a sprinting speed ,and dual cruise speed. Sprinting speeds also has 2 level, one with overloaded engine, one withing 90 MCR.
For turkish type FAC, the requested sprint speed is 60+ knots , 8 harpoon equivalent SSM , 1 of 21 cell RAM , 4 torpedoes , 76 mm foregun , 3D search radar, and surface radar. Size reaches to 60+ meters, and still called to be FAC .
a FAC is sophisticated thing, maybe you need to compare copied british boat ,to the ones you gave withing wikipedia quotation.
