1. It will make a brilliant artificial underwater reef for fish

and coral.
2. i love these rushed, untested arms iran puts out
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.19.10)
95% of these inferior weapons are doomed to fail in the event of actual rigorous combat conditions. successful countries have extensive testing, not to mention gradual implementation into the armed forces arsenal. for a reason. i hope iran puts all kinds of these things into the hands of their armed forces. better these than actual, reliable weapons that fully-trained troops can operate confidently with known results on the battlefield. keep it up iran!
3. Sink it.
steve ,   Tel Aviv   (02.19.10)

And torpedos too?
7. #2 mike, israel
Marco ,   Spain   (02.19.10)
Some of those "rushed, untested arms" of Iran were tested in 2006, and created real havoc with your cowardly IDF in Southern Lebanon.
8. Wow the Iranian Navy has caught with the US Navy of 1943
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (02.19.10)
They too had electronic radar and torpedoes. I am sooooooooo impressed!
9. 6 - they upgraded from pigeons-with-cameras radar
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.19.10)
hey, for them it's progress. give 'em a little credit.
10. Why is ynet insisting on using a fake name for Persian Gulf?
Persian CAT   (02.19.10)
The historical and official name for the Persian Gulf has been artificially changed by the Saudis and some other Arabs just to show their enmity to Iran. I always thought Israelis are smarter than the Saudis, but I'm beginning to change my mind, Remember who set the Jews free from Babylon, and which country is the homeland of the largest Jewish population outside of Israel in the ME. It sure ain't Saudi Arabia!
11. Snobish comments..
(02.19.10)
All the above comments are a sign of arrogance and stupidity.. Do you think you have more brains than the rest of the world? Poor Israelis!!
12. WHILE WELCOMING THE TALK BACK COLOUMN
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (02.19.10)
One fails to understand why the photo reflected in Ynet article totally differs from what is shown in Presstv with Ayatollah Khameini on board the new vessel.Why this distortion?I thought it was the Iranians who were good at it?:)
13. #5 Serge
Marco ,   Spain   (02.19.10)
Sure Serge it is photoshop, just like Hezbollah was a photoshop resistance in 2000 and 2006!

17. You are right #10. The correct name is The Arab Gulf
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (02.19.10)
18. #1, my thoughts exactly!
ben Ish   (02.19.10)
19. 7 -remind me who cried to the UN on TV to make the war stop?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.19.10)
oh yes, i remember - it was the brave ones with the sophisticated iranian weapons getting their tails pushed all around there in lebanese territory. kinda sorta "havoc"-like, don't you think?
20. #4 - liad - just like the Israeli navy vessels are
(02.19.10)
a threat to Palestinian fishing boats and Gaza beach vacationers/sunbathers.
21. Breaking News! Iran invents a new gray painted plywood toy..
BBSNewsch ,   Charlotte, NC   (02.19.10)
warship! Next the brilliant Mullah scientists will come up with a Magic Carpet Flying Fighter Aircraft and a Riding Broom Witch Spaceship
22. It seems to be a Fishing Canoe disgused as Warship..I wonder
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (02.19.10)
what kind of exotic catch Iranians are trying to hide?
23. To #7: Marco
Israeli 2   (02.19.10)
What the hell are you talking about? You must be high on something or come from another dimension. Israel won the Lebanon War I and II hands down despite the missle barrage. The whole world knows that. Even Nasrallah or whatever his name is, is still hiding, shivering and admitted that if he would have known that Israel would respond like that, he would never have started it. The Lebanese got whipped!!!! Israel may have done an overkill but that was a necesssary lesson.
24. To: No. 11
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.19.10)
Well -- hate to bring this up -- but let's see. Abraham. Moses. Jesus. Spinoza. Marx. Freud. Einstein. Feynman. Salk. Sabin. Koch. To name but a few. Yeah, we do. We do. And it has NOTHING to do with arrogance and everything to do with sheer ability and intellect. There's about 13 million of us and -- oh, how many of you? Eat your heart out. YUM!!
25. #7 Marco
Hal ,   Usa   (02.19.10)
Havoc my dear paranoid Marco does not a victory make. Nothing, Marco, is more cowardly than how Hezbollah fought using the civilian population a shield. You are a coward of the first order. You keep posting your hate, paranoia and lies yet you have as yet not, as a Spaniard appologised to the world for the outright butchery and racism of Spain's colonial practices. How about the slave trade, or doesn't that count for anything? I could go on but responding to your stupidity is like shooting fish in a barrel. Your "Glass House" is shattering. Putz!
26. #19 Mike
Hal ,   Usa   (02.19.10)
Marco is figment of his own imagination. Marco exists in a sham world of internet induced bravado not mached by his nano scale status.
27. Iranian War Ship???
Sandy Levy ,   Portland OR   (02.19.10)
No punn intended but it has to be a BUBBA YATCH ....
28. Iran must be attacked immediately.
Robert ,   Brisbane, Australia   (02.20.10)
It makes one wonder, based on the derisive comments here on Iran's capabilities, why there is such a rush to attack her. Evidently there is no military threat from Iran therefore the rush to attack must be based on pure hate. Still, there is no surprise there as, it seems from the posts here, most Israelis hate everybody except themselves.
29. Marco isn't a Spaniard
W. ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (02.20.10)
He's an illegal Moorish residing in Spain and, most probably, his true name is Mohammed or Mostapha. I hope one day he'll be deported back to North Africa, where he belongs.
30. When shall those Iranian destroyers border accros Israel
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (02.20.10)
and order immediate evacuation of occupied land by Occupiers? I hope we will not wait long By the way, Embargo always bring Industrial development at restricted country, Iran develops its own war planes, war ships and so on. They will day by day improve them and supply Hamas and Hizbullah with ever developing and better arms.
