Israel navy lost corvete in war vs Hezbolah almost in their own teritorial waters..and they want to engage in open sea or close to iran,this is clearly ment for internal audience who doesn't know anything about military and navy...Their Navy is not comparable to Iranian in any way ..only reason why Iran is capable to lunch long range and long endurance missions is because Iran operate huge fleet of logistical and support ships...What will Israel send?Five submarines and expect they will survive without
Well,I don't want to insult you or anyone,but you are wrong when it comes to this,I told you already,check your claims...even after basic chek of your claim you can see that is not corect.Just google "IRGC submarines" or "Nahang submarine" and you will find plety of sources and even images of submarines operated by IRGC..some even have IRGC logo...Truth is,it is unbelivable for me that there is someone who actually don't know that IRGC operate submarines..because they operate submarines for years and it is not secret.As I said,I remeber when Nahang is introduced..it was introduced with blue flag over it with IRGC logo.I remeber when first Nahang is delivered,it is delivered to IRGC..also IRGC operate number of Ghadir class submarines...now what it seems happened,is that second Nahang is probably delivered to IRI-Navy because last and newest images shows personel in IRI-navy like uniforms...and IRI style tagging
So my friend, it is not about insulting someone..I don't have desire to insult you or anyone,it is about prviding correct information because a lot of people read this and other use these information as source for their work...Your claim that IRGC doesn't operate submarines is simple not correct and because I'm saying this,it doesn't mean I don't respect or want to insult you...it is possible to discuss without insults or anything..I'm sorry if I offend you at any way,it was not my intention.
Even I suggest you to check your claims,fact that you are still claiming same thing , means you didn't even check your claim..so I will post you here few proofs because,as I said already,it is important to provide correct information.
Where submarines are built is not important and it is also not not correct that all submarines are docked in IRI navy because there are many submarines in IRGC operated docks,and you would actually know that if you visited link I provided,since there are satallite images of submarines in IRGC operated docks...So,I will post here few images of IRGC submarines and also few quotes of Iran defense minister and other officials where they speak about IRGC submarines ...for rest you can find yourself
Quote from Article/News
"Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said that the country plans to equip the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) naval force with new submarines. "
Also,related to nahang;
"Qadir and Nahang submarines are appropriate vessels for different naval missions, including reconnaissance and combat in territorial waters, specially in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz which are not wide enough for the maneuvering of large warships and submarines. "
This image is from IRGC-navy drills,you can see nahang and behind missile both with IRGC blue flag and logo
Here you can see Defense minister,IRGC general and President at IRGC exhibition
Any way,from what we know,only 2 of these Nahang 1 class(that is how it named when introduced) and since one of is seen operated by IRGC and newst images/video shows IRI-navy personel,it seems both IRGC and IRI-navy operate at least one nahang 1 submarine.
fact who is really operate Nahang is not really metter since this can change depending of situation and needs,what is really important is fact that IRGC operate submarines for years,it is true that most of submarines is operated by IRI-navy but still small fleet is operated by IRGC.
Also,you should look for documentary called "Inside ghadir submarine"...it is actually(now I remember)recorded inside IRGC Ghadir class..even reporter have IRGC uniform..
its not 1998 its 1398 Persian year he meant 2019.
