Iranian Navy | News and Discussions

Should the Iranians put an offer to Russia to buy the Admiral Ushakov Battlecruiser/Missile Cruiser. It is scheduled to be scrapped and the Russians may want it off their hands, they think they left the cores inactive for too long. Iranian shipyards are good at retro-fitting and upgrading ships, this would be a great addition to the Iranian navy.

no , that Ship is Hazardous , Dangerous and too old to be useful , even Russian Army don't knew what to do with it.

Mainly the only reason is it is a nuclear hazard, which is very dangerous. If it just the reactor and there was no radiation leak, and can be cleaned out and replaced with steam turbines, it can be turned into a functional ship. If the nuclear material has spilled out, then it is not useful, except to scrap very carefully, and that would be the Russians responsibility. The better one is the Admiral Lazarev and even the Russians think it would be too difficult to make it sea worthy.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.
the ship is too big to be useful with any other propulsion except Nuclear powered otherwise it's range would be limited to less than 2000km

it could be the flag ship of the Iranian navy. Iran would need more frigates with helicopters to patrol for submarines. And more subs to patrol for submarines. I would guess it would cost 2 billion to refit both considering the cost of the type 055s. Around 1 billion each probably. It could house 50+ anti-ship missiles and another 100+ SAMs. Iran would own the Arabian Sea.

it would spent more time in dry dock than serving tit's purpose and as I said without nuclear propulsion it would be to expensive to operate

So you want Iran to operate a cruiser it has no experience in operating, with Russians systems it has no clue on how they work and without a navy personnel to actually fill that cruiser?

Seems like a terrible idea. Iran’s Navy cannot even pilot a small frigate during a storm.

They need much more training and experience before being given the reigns to any massive battleship.
