Love how they stamped it with “Made in Iran” [emoji23]
Auto Marla cannon give you surface attack capabilities while you lose such options with ak-630ALCON,
The fact that a newer vessel like this Separ (newest member of the Sina-class) is NOT equipped with an AK-630 based CIWS is what makes me suspect the brief images we saw of one this year were more for show & that no reverse-engineering work is taking place. If it is, it is moving at glacial speeds...
ALCON,

I expect fitting a CIWS in there would require removing either the Fajr-27 or the bofors. *Bigger is better* so it would have to be the bofors...
But now it's been fitted I highly doubt the CIWS will be retrofitted, if the project actually succeeds. In fact, I don't think any of Iran's current Mowj frigates or Sina FAC will get CIWS. Iranian designers don't seem to count it as important.
I think it would be too crowded, having a CWIS and a Bofors both back there. They would interfere with each other's arc of fire.Well they can move the life boats and put the CIWS there.
It will become crowded but I doubt they interfere with each other . but honestly when was the last time they managed to hit anything with that Bofors . just remove it and put something that actually can make a difference there.I think it would be too crowded, having a CWIS and a Bofors both back there.

Qatar's Barzan-class are even fitted with the might Goalkeeper
For a country that has showed so much interest in smaller surface combatants, their lack of improvements to the original La Combattante II/Kaman classes is quite puzzling.
