Iran says it has launched ‘cruise missile capable’ submarine
(Worthy News) – Iran on Sunday launched a new, locally-built submarine capable of firing cruise missiles, state TV said, in the country’s latest show of military might at a time of heightened tensions with the US.
Named the Fateh (Farsi for “Conqueror”), the new submarine is Iran’s first in the semi-heavy category, the Fars news agency said, and it fills a gap between the light Ghadir class and the heavy, Russian-made Kilo class submarines that the country possesses.
Fars said the near 600-ton underwater vessel is equipped with torpedoes and naval mines, in addition to cruise missiles, and can operate more than 200 meters below sea level for up to 35 days. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
