Iranian Navy | News and Discussions


This is one area I’m disappointed by both IRGC-N and Iranian Navy….UUV drones. With how narrow and shallow PG is a fast moving swarm of UUV equipped with powerful warheads or underwater smart munitions would do MORE a havoc than a bunch of speed boats firing unguided rockets. No manpower needed and harder to detect and destroy a swarm of UUVs vs swarm of surface vessels
 
Well, technologically is much more challenging that those FACs. Navigation it is harder and you need excellent sensors (shallow waters are much more noisy than blue water ones)... and propulsion must be longer range than light torpedoes or heavyweight that IRIN usually operates.
 
The only thing Iran's not so new navy commander reveals is a stamp!!!!..WTF! ..progress in reverse order!. These f*kers better move their as*! Country can not afford incompetent people in charge.

Sky Jump, looks like I was guessing February 11, 2023 when I wrote this

but then I exaggerated in my hypothesis with photoshop, I had imagined it with two corner bridges. instead it seems that there is only one
During the interview carried out by the Tasnim Agency concerning the commercial vessel listed above under modification, the current commander of the IRGC replies
"On the Shahid Bahman Bagheri vessel, 180 meters of flight deck has been built, on which the UAV can take off and land, while this vessel also houses small Zulfiqar and Ashura class missile boats."

I thought Shahid Abu Mahdi Al-Mohandes was supposed to be its own class Catamaran that is smaller in size than Shahid Soleimani. It’s almost complete and has already been spotted by sats.
 
The Iranian Navy’s 86th flotilla "Makran 441 and Dena 75" has docked at Oman’s Salalah port after a long voyage around the globe.
