The Iranian Navy plans to dispatch the 62nd flotilla of warships to free waters in the next few days to protect the country's cargo ships and oil tankers against pirate attacks. The 62nd fleet includes Bayandor destroyer and Lavan and Bushehr logistic warships.

The 61st flotilla of the Iranian Navy had set off for the high seas to safeguard maritime routes used by Iranian vessels in international waters, especially in the Gulf of Aden, in March.

The fleet which consisted of Sabalan destroyer and a logistic warship, Bandar Abbas, returned to Iran on Wednesday morning after 67 days of the voyage.

The Iranian Navy has been conducting anti-piracy patrols in the Gulf of Aden since November 2008, when Somali raiders hijacked the Iranian-chartered cargo ship, MV Delight, off the coast of Yemen.

According to UN Security Council resolutions, different countries can send their warships to the Gulf of Aden and coastal waters of Somalia against the pirates and even with prior notice to Somali government enter the territorial waters of that country in pursuit of Somali sea pirates.

The Gulf of Aden – which links the Indian Ocean with the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean Sea – is an important energy corridor, particularly because Persian Gulf oil is shipped to the West via the Suez Canal.

This deployment may also help Iran with the protection of its coasts and reassure its national security. This comes as the US government reinforces its presence in the area, with the deployment of a carrier strike group, along with plenty of bombers.


I hope iran is not bluffing this time, the last time iran vows to send ship near us coast it ended up only as far as gulf of aden lol
 
however they are not recent photos, because now on the Naghdi 82 the Iranian technicians have modified the arrangement of the Canister of the anti-ship missiles as they had already done in the Bayandor 81

after several attempts, I think this is the most correct position
well to be honest i don't know much about ships i just find them cool and posted.:D:D
but now that we are talking about ships, do you know how many tanks our hengam classes can carry??
i would appreciate if you answer be, because it's a long time that one thing is bothering me: in case of war with PGCC, can we bring some tanks to the battle field with hengams or not??

"These assets are large enough to move a battalion-sized force relatively rapidly, and include: 3 Hengam-class (Larak-class) LST amphibious support ships (displacement of 2,940-tons loaded) that can carry up to six tanks, 600 tons of cargo, and 227 troops; 3 Iran Hormuz-class (South Korean) LSTs (2,014-tons loaded) that can carry up 9 tanks and berth 140 troops, and. 3 Hormuz-21 class 1,80-ton LSTs and 3 Fouque class 176-ton LSLs. Iran’s amphibious ships give it the theoretical capability to deploy about 1,000 troops, and theoretically about 30-40 tanks in an amphibious assault "
