Snapshots of Rahi ke Amadeeim (The Path that We Have Come) tv program recently aired by Iranian national tv shows Iranian-designed advanced Fateh (Conqueror) submarine which has a displacement of 600 tons, a significant step up from Ghadir-Class submarine which had a displacement of 120 tons. Fateh is equipped with more sophisticated electronic and weaponry systems compared to Ghadir-class.

We launched Fateh to the sea for some time but they will officially unveil it when its tests are completed and it is delivered to IRIN, Janes published an article a while ago it seems that we are building another Fateh a Caspian sea.

Iran launches new submarine class
Jeremy Binnie, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
26 November 2013

Astrium imagery dated 27 October 2013 shows what is almost certainly one of Iran's new Fateh-class submarines in the eastern section of the Bostanu shipyard (CNES 2013, Distribution Astrium Services / Spot Image S.A./IHS)
Iran has launched a new class of submarine that has never been seen before, satellite imagery obtained by IHS Jane's reveals.

One of the boats can clearly be seen in the water at the Bostanu shipyard on the Strait of Hormuz in Astrium imagery taken on 27 October. It measures 40.5 m long and 4 m wide at the waterline.

A second can be seen under construction at the Bandar Anzali Naval Base on the Caspian Sea on 17 September. It is partially shrouded by scaffolding, but is approximately 48 m long and 6 m wide.

Senior Iranian officials have previously said that it is building a new class of 500 tonne submarines called the Fateh, although the timeline appears to have slipped repeatedly. In April, Deputy Defence Minister for Industrial and Research Affairs Mohammad Eslami said: "The first Iranian 500 tonne submarine will be unveiled by 31 Mordad [22 August 2013]."

Iran may now be planning to unveil the new submarines during its Navy Day, which is held on 28 November to mark a naval victory over Iraq in 1980.

The launch of the Fateh-class represents a major milestone for Iran's naval industry. The largest submarine previously produced by Iran was the 29 m Ghadir class. While the Ghadir was widely presumed to be based on a North Korean design, the new Fateh class is significantly bigger than the largest submarine known to be produced by the North Koreans: the 39 m K-300 (Sang-O II) class.

Once operational, the new Iranian submarines will increase the capabilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRIN) as the Fateh class will have a longer endurance than the Ghadirs and will be able to carry more torpedoes, mines or divers.

The construction of one of the boats at Bandar Anzali is particularly significant as this will be the first submarine to be launched on the Caspian. Iran has yet to come to a boundary agreement with the other littoral states and has been expanding its naval presence on the sea in recent years, most notably by building a Mowj (Jamaran)-class frigate at Bandar Anzali.

The work on this frigate has been slow. The IRIN announced in March that it had been launched, but satellite imagery shows it was in a floating dry dock in September.

Similarly, the IRIN claimed that it launched the hull of another Mowj class, Sahand , at Bandar Abbas in September 2012. However, satellite imagery showed that it was still in the dry dock in December. Astrium imagery from 19 October shows that most of its weapons and sensors have yet to be fitted.

Nevertheless, the hull of a fourth Mowj class was seen at Bostanu in GoogleEarth imagery taken on 17 August. This was no longer present in the imagery taken on 27 October.

the last segment of the video(after 15th second) is showing Besat(1200 ton) under construction
