Iran Navy to take delivery of high-tech homegrown vessels, weapons: Commander

Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani says that the navy will receive several new domestically designed and manufactured vessels and weapons, equipped with advanced and state-of-the-art technologies.

Irani made the remarks on Friday, highlighting that the homegrown military hardware will soon join Iran’s naval fleet, and will "surprise" enemies.

"These new additions encompass various domains, including surface, aerial, manned, unmanned, and missile systems, of which the enemies are completely unaware of their capabilities. They are equipped with a new generation of highly valuable technologies and weapons with deterrent capabilities," Iran’s Navy chief pointed out.

He noted that the missiles that are set to be unveiled feature "very new ranges."

Irani also said that unmanned aerial vehicles with operational ranges of more than 2,000 kilometers and underwater vehicles are among the modern homegrown military equipment.

Iranian Navy is awaiting the necessary preparations in order to unveil the domestically-developed equipment, he stated, emphasizing they will join Iranian naval units and enter service within the next few weeks.

Iran’s Navy has in recent years achieved self-sufficiency in manufacturing surface and sub-surface vessels. It has also increased its presence in international waters to protect naval routes and provide security for merchant vessels and tankers.

The Iranian naval forces have also staged military drills with different countries, including Russia, China and Pakistan, over the past years to promote their combat readiness.

They have also been involved in joint efforts aimed at countering piracy and maritime terrorism, exchanging information in naval rescue and relief operations as well as sharing operational and tactical experience to enhance the security and stability of international maritime trade.
