People state the new Destroyer is similar to Avland class design

The Iranian Navy's deputy chief for Technical Affairs, Rear Admiral Abbas Zamini, says the Islamic Republic plans to unveil 10 new indigenous frigates and destroyers.


Zamini said on Tuesday that the plan to build 10 more naval vessels comes after the country’s two major destroyer projects: Jamaran, a Mowj-1 class destroyer launched in 2010 and Velayat, a Mowj-2 class destroyer, whose construction is completed by 70 percent and will finish by the end of the current Iranian calendar year (started March 20).

The commander said the new projects also included the construction of Mowj and Sina-class destroyers and missile-launching frigates.

Iran started a self-sufficiency campaign in the defense industry and launched numerous military projects after the victory of the Islamic Revolution over 30 years ago.

The Iranian navy launched its first domestically-built destroyer, Jamaran, in the waters of the Persian Gulf in February 2010.

The 1,420-ton destroyer is equipped with modern radar systems and other electronic warfare capabilities.

It has a top speed of up to 30 knots and a helipad. It also features highly advanced anti-aircraft, anti-surface and anti-subsurface systems.

The vessel has also been equipped with torpedoes and modern naval cannons.

It is a corvette due to its displacement, some classify it as light frigate because of the armament.

Destroyer? nope

Correct classification for this vessel should be aircraft carrier

Actually we call such a thing NAV-SHECAN in Iran, Destroyer is the only and also the best translation of it by the way whatever it is , it's been designed and manufactured by Iranian and without any question is a indigenous and domestic vessel , surly bigger ones are in the line to be made and then serve in the coming years.

Here's where the problem lies

Most countries around the world these days have adopted the anglo way of life and that includes the standardizations that they have set in place. Iran has adopted a lot as well. However the degree is much less compared to a country like Turkey. In Parsi/Persian we say "nav shekan" and it means destroyer. We don't have all the other classifications.

However that doesn't mean we should call it a destroyer. It's time to change and get with the program. At least we won't have all these flies buzzing around destroying our brain cells.

It's so fucked up how the whole world has to revolve around the anglos.
