Heres a close up of the sail,you can see that the side of it has been removed and that theres possibly a sensor mast or perhaps a snorkel.You can also see the operator with his portable control console plugged in.

Yeah. That makes sense. But at least they could've done a better job at painting them.

dont worry, this is the same thing that makes Iranian adversaries think these weapons are fake...until they learn through experience..

Issue is can the speedboat fire the missile from the forward facing directions. Having more missiles, but in the back is useless as it forces the speedboat to stop and turn to its side in order to fire on an enemy.

These boats don’t have major targeting radars so they will have to get close to target. Last thing they want to do is stop and turn to fire at a enemy ship.



Looks kind of crude. Like a WWI submarine.

as i said its an prototype and under development we have an other one ready almost



who are you new guy we have a new sub here bigger then qadir for sure but smaller then fateh

Has this been confirmed? It appears to be the regular Ghadir to me.

I will not discard the possibility of a new submarine, but to me it appears to be a Ghadir (or a variant of it).

it looks bigger than qadir and the front looks sharper too

I am not seeing it. Look at the schematic I posted above and compare. We'll need to wait for more information. But for now, it just appears to be a Ghadir being built or undergoing renovation.

lol i didn't expect the weapon smuggling purposes for this UUV. it's kinda a genius idea.

 

[skyshadow]

is that fateh? the tower looks way off in front of the sub

look at the difference

fateh

and now look at this (maybe an kilo submarine???)

What is that front opening under the bridge?

Definitely bigger than Ghadir mini-sub.

Definitely bigger than Ghadir mini-sub.

That one is a different submarine to the other picture. This one is showing a section of the Kilo class.
