Iran is building warships more advanced than Jamaran destroyer

The Navy commander says Iran has started producing warships which are technologically much more advanced than the Jamaran destroyer.

 

“The Jamaran destroyer is just a sample… and destroyers based on modern technology and much more advanced than the Jamaran destroyer are now being manufactured,” Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayari told the Mehr News Agency.

 

Sayari also said Iran will not restrict itself to just one destroyer in Open seas.

 

The Jamaran destroyer first set sail for the north of the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden on October 9, 2010. It has so far saved dozens of Iranian and foreign cargo ships from pirate attacks in the international waters.

 

The Jamaran was the first domestically manufactured destroyer. It can carry helicopters and is equipped with torpedoes. It is 94 meters long and weighs over 1,500 tons. The warship is capable of engaging in surface, air, and undersea warfare.
