Iran to start building new destroyer in 2020

[The Ronin]

Iran is preparing to start building a new destroyer with a displacement of almost 6,000 tons this year, the head of the Iranian Defense Ministry’s Marine Industries Organisation said on Friday, April 4, in an interview with the state-run Mehr news agency.

“In the Defense ministry, we are working on the building of a 6,000-ton destroyer in the long-run,” Rear Admiral Amir Rastegari said, as quoted by the agency, adding that executive preparations for the project will start this year. This destroyer will ensure Iran’s strategic presence in international waters.

The admiral added that destroyers and large submarines would make up a major part of the Iranian navy’s fleet in the near future. Since 2015, the Iranian military has greatly increased the size of their naval forces, with the incorporation of several small patrol boats that are often used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Forces (IRGC) in the Strait of Hormuz waters.

Clearly the priorities are misplaced at this hour, with Daily Numbers in 100s of deaths, the supreme leadership thinks something else. Coco

Good I wish Pakistan starts too. We need ships with Long Range SAMs like HHQ 9

actually they will start to build 4 warships and they about to finish 2-3 others plus submarines and flying boats

1. 1500 tons advanced frigate
2. 2000 tons trimaran warship
3. 6000 tons trimaran warship
4. 3500 tons train/ warship

Good I wish Pakistan starts too. We need ships with Long Range SAMs like HHQ 9

Pakistan should order some 6000 tons warships plus couple of 2000 tons advanced frigate and 2 Fateh class and 2 Beast class submarines from Iran

Surface ships are becoming a liability as more sophisticated and longer range A2/AD weapons are proliferating. Pakistan should only go for destroyers if it can sustain and afford an aggressive posture in IOR. In that case 2 destroyer based strike groups would be more than enough, for Karachi and Gwadar. If not, than the best option is to maintain a defensive posture inside umbrella A2/AD ranges.

agreed but you need a frigate to protect against pirates and coastal security you can not dispatch a destroyer for some pirates or a boat that needs help

Nah we need nuke subs that should be our number one priority. And then a robust space launch delivery program.
