I'm surprised to still the 3rd Khordad in vehicle configuration parked out there like that; in the future I hope to see things more integrated together, though this probably addresses certain new needs of the IRGCN. To be sure this is probably the same vessel first discussed by theimmortal in a dedicated thread a few weeks ago so this ship has actually been in the field for some time. I would imagine that in inclement weather, there must be somewhere either in the aft tower or cargo hold to hold those assets on the deck. Next step would either some ASW or both ASW and the ability to carry and deploy a couple of ghadirs to provide some under water protection.
