Iran has started manufacturing Jamaran 2 "destroyer", Iran's Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said at a press conference, IRINN reported.
Sayyari added that the Jamaran 2 destroyer is being manufactured domestically under supervision of Iranian specialists.
He also said the new destroyer model will be more advanced than the first "Jamaran" destroyer launched in the Persian Gulf waters in February 2010.
First Jamaran "destroyer" (actually a light frigate considerng its roughly 1,500 tons displacement) was also domestically-manufactured, and it completed its first international mission on December 18, after conducting counter-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden.
