Web traslate for Dena
We have vertical launch missiles on the agenda and we will install the ground-based sample, which is believed to be 373, with changes in this destroyer. This system is being tested, and not only Damavand, but we will equip all destroyers with vertical missiles. The point defense of the rope is also installed on the destroyers, respectively. The Dena destroyer will have the rope in the next stages, but it will definitely be installed on Damavand. Some of them have now been installed on Ndaja operational vessels.
Dimensions of Dena destroyer are 94 meters by 11 meters and height is 20 meters.
This destroyer has both offensive and defensive capabilities in the field of surface, sub-surface and air.
It has two types of long-range surface-to-surface missiles, both light and powerful. The surface-to-air missile has a medium range of lightning that travels several times faster than the target. We installed a very new fuzzy array radar and fire control system on this vessel, which will be installed on this destroyer for the first time.
The sonar that Dena receives is one of the first achievements of our electronics industry. The monitoring control system used on this vessel will be used for the first time on a vessel. Our runway is bigger than before and a heavy SH helicopter can sit on it. The 76 mm Fajr 27 ball has a bowl and the body of Dena is made of marine steel made by domestic factories.

Update on the Besat submarine, it seems it will be 4500 tons:

“Now, we are able to manufacture a destroyer like Damavand in one year,” the official noted, adding, “The designing of the heavy Be’sat submarine has been finished and we hope to end this 4,500-ton submarine in the next 10 years.”

But the Saba is credited with a length of 35 meters, these 2 do not reach that size, perhaps they are something else!

This article mentions statements by the Deputy Minister of Defense, among which I think I understand that we are in talks with a foreign country for the Peykan class FACs (Sina class)
Question: Did the web translator translate correctly?

It has two types of long-range surface-to-surface missiles, from the family of Noor, Ghader and Ghadir missiles.

therefore will the Dena have on board at the same time different types of anti-ship missiles ?

I think that has been the case for some time now with the Mowj class and any other platform that can accomodate the Noor.

Unconfirmed reports that IRINS expeditionary sea base "Makran" and "Zereh" missile boat will enter service with IRIN during IRIN missile exercises in Sea of Oman in the next two days.

The Makran has been undergoing sea trials recently so it seems reasonable.

Either this is a translation error or a load of propaganda. Haven’t seen a single Mowj vessel be constructed in a year.

He said we can make the superstructure in a year......provided the funds are availiable.....he said it would take another year to fit it out.

 

[WudangMaster]

They have probably gotten much better at it over time therefore a 2 year turn around from an order could be feasible these days so long as there are consistent funds.

How long can they really survive if attacked? Sound like a good peace time solution but highly doubt would work for war.

Roudaki and Makran are complete peace time solutions.

However the radars on Roudaki will notify you ahead of the mainland radars. This comes for 2 million dollars, 1/3 of the price of an Abrams MBT.

An hour earlier warning is winning half the combat.

Most of the Iranian navy would be crushed during a war.

No destroyers or cruisers mean basically every surface ship is vulnerable until Iran can get a Bavar 373 like system on a future destroyer or cruiser.
