Naval parade in St. Petersburg for the 325th anniversary of the Russian fleet on 25 July.

"A total of 54 ships are expected to pass, including frigates from India, Iran and Pakistan"

The author of the article rightly indicates that considering the current position of the Iranian frigates, the only one that could arrive by 25 July is Sahand 74.

who knows if with the Makran 441 or, since the article only indicates an Iranian frigate "and having a higher maximum speed, the Sahand 74 will give power to the engines to reach St. Petersburg faster

Considering IRGC is at the forefront of Iran's military tech, one can imagine anything they make would be leagues ahead of the IRIN or ground forces. Not to mention the superior financial resources.

As a former oil tanker, the Makran 441 did not have to prove that it knew how to navigate distant seas, but this mission has definitively shown that the Sahand 74 also has excellent navigation skills.

Why does the Sahand look so old in this photo? Rust and peeled paint everywhere.

Didn’t this just get commissioned recently?

You know whats interesting? I think western countries are BANBOOZLED by the Makran....the Makran is low key another genius Iranian creation - Its a brilliant alternative, deadly, covert, Aircraft carrier LITE IMO.

Thing about this Makran is to THINK about it, not fall for the visuals - Its top area is as large as many MPDs/LHD? and Aircraft carriers....it carries many fast boats, helicopters, missiles, naval marines, UUV devices? etc this is a capability that only top navies in the world possess, but Iran basically made it happen, for naval warfare, its revolutionary, and its not because i even give a damn about it, i cant see crap on it much, but its EXISTENCE and presence and confidence with its flotilla, another Iranian warship, sends a powerful message...thats WHY all western countries are tracking it 247.....its an asymmetrical naval aircraft carrier...it can travel the world, and bring surprises such as fake weapons to enemies and adversaries.
