The most interesting it is that IRIN is investing in a frigate with phased array radar (Damavand II and Taftan?), but, at the same time, IRIN is developing another frigate with hangar for helicopter.
Moudge class frigates have reached a limit in their development. But it is really remarkable how IRIN and the iranian naval industry are developing different solutions that could cristalize or converge in a single hull warship; VLS, phased array radar and hangar helicopter. In a 120 meters long hull IRIN could fit all together... Unfortunately it is so damn slowly. But even with this bizarre fleet of corvettes they can challenge Pentagon in all oceans around the world. Bravo Zulu!.
