Hello dude,and whats so special about it?

Hello dude,
@VEVAK estimated 145 ft long that mean more than 44 m
you will enjoy to read this article

thanks for the link, very informative.
Fateh was already declassified some years ago, I thought this is a other sub...
Fateh submarine to join Iranian navy in September

Wow about time, took years just to build one submarine. Hopefully, they understood the errors they made and speed up production and stop delays. No more of this cheap material garbage.
do we know what "cheap material" they used for the Fateh hull and which they use now?
what is the standard material for such subs? aluminium?
titan is for sure to expensive for Iran and I think they also dont have the technology for it...
The standard materiel used in submarine hulls is usually high strength steel but this boat is a coastal type and would generally operate in shallower waters.Titanium is expensive and used to be rather difficult to work with back in the early days of mig/tig welding but is unnecessary for a boat of this type that would mainly be operating in shallow waters.It would seem based on the very long time that it has taken to finally announce the induction of the boat into the navy that there had to be some very major problems with either the design or materiels used in the boat,but this was the first large sub that iran had designed from the ground up so problems should not be a surprise and hopefully iran learnt enough lessons from this that the larger 1000/1500 ton boat wont have as many problems[fingers crossed!].do we know what "cheap material" they used for the Fateh hull and which they use now?

How many torpedoes can it carry? Besat will be 1200 tons?it seems Fateh is ready to go, now we are waiting for Besat/Qaaem class submarine.....

So 140 ft x 14 ft (aka 42 metres x 4.2 metres).
It's 145ft x ~14
But I think Iran should have gone for something a bit bigger for production 200ft x 20 ft I believe is the perfect size for subs something similar to the Sinpo class & Type 209, 212 & 214
Fatteh is similar in length and beam to the German type 205 & the Germans moved on to the 206 that's a bit bigger and then the 209 which they built over 60 of
I think Iran should take a lesson from that and move on to mass production of something a bit bigger & stronger that's a force multiplier!
I think building larger subs should be number 1 on the to do list for Iran's Navy at a minimum rate of 1 per year if your going to stick with the Fatteh Class
