Iranian Navy Receives 2 new Ghadir-Class Midget-Submarines

[Desert Fox]

Midget subs would be a cool toy for a rich man, but as a war weapon, not so much.

Japan placed great stock in their midget subs. There is very little difference between the Japanese subs and these. 3 or 4 men, a couple of torpedos, and small diesel + electric motors.

In the Pearl Harbor attack, the midget subs all failed. AFAIK, no Japanese midget sub did much of anything in WW2.

True, but perhaps because those Japanese subs could only carry 1 torpedo (and a unguided one at that) with only limited fuel, more like a one way mission, one of those got captured with the Japanese Submariner i believe it is in a museum now.

Iran should invest in solar powered remote control torpedos fitted with water-proof camera and GPS and a rear propellor....fired from coast...into the sea....controlled from some underground bunker in bandar Abbas port.

Yes, so every torpedo costs about $2 million dollars right?

iran should make floating hand grenades with one water-proof camera that can rotate 360 degrees plus a small wireless antenna.......they should than scatter 5000 of these in strait of hormuz............at bandar abbas they should setup rooms where they can view which ship is passing near the hand-grenade...........make sure the hand-grenade matches the colour of water.

Iran does not own the Strait of Hormuz! I don't know why you can't see that! That's like saying China owns the Pacific Ocean or India owns the Indian ocean!
