Iranian submarine. As advanced as Western vessels

 

It is estimated that Iran now has at least 14 Ghadir-class submarines which are said to be as advanced as Western vessels.

 

The submarines are armed with torpedo missiles and were manufactured according to the geographical and climate conditions and specifications of Iranian waters.

 

Earlier Saturday, Iranian military officials hinted that Ghadir-class submarines improve the navy's ability to defend Iranian territorial waters.
