Iran shows new submarines and warships, touts self-sufficiency in defense

Posted by Anup Kaphle on November 28, 2012 at 10:23 am

Iran’s state television has posted a short video that shows what the Iranians say are “indigenously built” warship and submarines. The two Ghadir class submarines, which can fire missiles and torpedoes at the same time, and the Sina-7 warship were launched at Bandar Abbas, near the Strait of Hormuz.

In the video, Iranian navy commander Habibollah Sayyari also boasted of the country’s ability to build its own destroyers and submarines.

Thanks to the Islamic Revolution, Iran has acquired the know-how to build submarines. No one believed that we would reach a point where we would build destroyers capable of carrying helicopters and missiles in the Sea of Oman and oceans … because it’s a very difficult task to build destroyers and submarines.

The Ghadir class submarine is said to be able to operate in shallow waters. (Screenshot from Press TV)

Metal can that can to fill water or air at times but if screw up can only fill water and go to the bottom of the sea?

haha don't laff at the power of u-boats

They probably got the design from their North Korean friends.

This type of submarines are highly dangerous in shallow water like the Strait of Hormuz where sonar does not work very well.

Also the shallow water restrict the movement of surface warships and effectiveness of their anti submarines arsenal.

Their shallow draft make it ease to sit out on or behind a sandbar and wait for their targets.

The sinking of South Korean convette ROKS Cheonan by the North is a case in point.

Here is another pic of their Blue Sub.

There was a speculation by the Daily Mail that sub's designers mistakenly chose the color, believing it would help the craft blend in with the ocean's waters.

This is what a proper submarine should look like.

Alamak, what we are looking at the blue submerine is actually a gigantic submarine. The photo of the blue sub only showing the top part of the black sub. When fully floated its larger than the black sub.

Shallow water? Looks like it can even operate in a bath tub.

 

[Narong Wongwan]

blue color? Why not have a yellow submarine?

 

[hairylee]

Dun belittle the Iranians. They are still the only country able to bring down a American unmanned spy drone.
The blue colour could be just to lull the Americans into complacency. Nobody knows what it is capable of.
It could be a kamakazi sub to kill American aircraft carrier.
