Iran Navy repairs mega-submarine

The submarine was launched into the waters of the southern shores of Iran during a Tuesday ceremony in the southern city of Bandar Abbas.

“The country of origin (Russia) had failed to deliver plans of the submarine’s parts and was insisting on repairing the sub in its own basins. However, the Iranian Navy has now developed the plans anew and acquired a much significant expertise in the overhaul of the kilo-class submarines,” said Iran’s Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari.

“With such a success, Iran is now among a handful of countries which can overhaul such submarines,” he added.

The 3,200-ton submarine has taken over 1.6 million person-hours and 200 types of expertise to get repaired and all parts and expertise used in the overhaul of the mega project have been domestic.

“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.
