Iran Launches Submarine, Sahand Destroyer
The super-heavy Tareq 901 submarine, which was repaired by Iranian experts, and Sahand destroyer were successfully launched on Tuesday on the order of Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
Iranian Navy Commander Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said on May 29 that the entire overhauling process had been done by Iranian experts.
“The country of origin had failed to deliver plans of the submarine’s parts and was insisting to repair the sub in its own basins. However, the Iranian Navy has now developed the plans anew and has acquired a much significant expertise in the overhaul of the kilo-class submarines. With such a success Iran is among a handful of countries which can overhaul such submarines,” Sayyari said.
“Anti-radar systems, wings, pneumatic systems, compressed air systems, pumps and sensors, telecommunication systems, propelling systems, and engine parts were among the parts repaired in the project all by Iranian engineers. This shows that Iran can achieve its goals by all means,” said Rear Admiral Abbas Zamini, the manager of the project.
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in the defense sector and gained self-sufficiency in essential military hardware and defense systems.
The country has repeatedly made it clear that its military might is merely based on the state’s defense doctrine of deterrence and that it poses no threat to other countries.

This has got to be some kind of joke! That looks like a WW 2 sub from one of our museums ! Iranian submarine experts?!
Maybe the 1960′s, Hahahahaha
A musket gun will kill you just as dead as a modern one will.
Time to meet Davy Jones, only an idiot would go to sea in a craft “repaired” by the Iranians
It is a good thing that Iran builds itself a good defence system. Every sovereign country has the right to do so. This country has entered the rich league country as the 26th richest country with 475 billions $ GDP.
This means that we will have to deal with this country with all the diplomatic respect hoping that one day thay can do the same. But we have to live with the extremist views, oppressive regime and lack of human rights of its government which advocates themselves as an Islamic Republic (not helping the cause of making Islam a respectable peaceful religion). Close ally to China, we can question China politics about Iran as not being able to manage and control its satellite country.
Iran’s embargo is also benefiting Turkey’s economy tremendously since goods are easily shipped to and from Iran (even with Israel as a partner because business has nothing to do with politics).
Iran’s attitude is not a reason to invade them and I urge our government to apply all the diplomatic pressure on China and Russia to bring Iran to reasonable terms with the world. We also urge our government to also bring Israel to reasonable terms with its neighbours. By no way, we want to start a war with Iran.
Educated people know that Iran’s government is not dedicating enough funding and resources to the social problems and its citizens are still living in shear poverty leading to misery like too many of those Islamic countries. Like one of the Ben Laden message was, they should put more effort into helping taking families out of poverty. Can they meet the challenge ?
Those iranian useless pieces of refurbished junk will be sunk in five minutes by a single USA machinegunner.
