رد: إيران تضيف غواصتين لأسطولها البحرى
غواصة غدير . Ghadir subamrine
Quantity in Service: 3
Dimensions: L 29m, W 2.75m
Displacement : 120 tons dived
Crew: ?
Endurance: ?
Speed (est): 11kts surfaced, 8kts submerged
Powerplant: Diesel-electric
Armament: 2 x 533mm (21”) torpedo tubes with 2~4 torpedoes, Skhval rocket torpedoes or 4~8 mines. Possibly submarine launched anti-ship missiles but unsubstantiated.
Possibly of North Korean design, the Ghadir (Qadir) submarine closely resembles the North Korean “Yugo Class”, itself a derivative of Yugoslavian (now Croatian) types. One noteworthy feature is that the Ghadir appears to have conventional cruciform tail fins. Estimates of the size of this submarine vary greatly.
These boats are credible littoral submarines well suited to mine laying, infiltration/Special Forces operation and limited anti-surface warfare. Their torpedo tubes could conceivably carry the Shkval rocket torpedo or even submarine launched anti-ship missiles which Iran reportedly has. But their sensor fit is almost certainly basic by contemporary standards limiting their potential against other subs and advanced warships. There is also no reason to suppose that they are particularly quiet and the shallow water of the Gulf is likely to leave them exposed to anti-submarine warfare.
Nahong Class midget submarine غواصة ناهانج
Quantity in service: 1
A small midget submarine suited to mine laying and special operations with possible limited anti-ship strike capability. Armament is likely to consist of mines carried externally although it is possible that 533mm torpedoes could also be carried in this manner as is the case with similar submarines in WW2.
Mines could include the potent Chinese designed EM52 fast rising rocket mine which can be laid in deep water, attacking its target by firing a rocket up into the underbelly of the ship, so fast that evasive action is unlikely. The EM52’s rocket is unguided and is less sophisticated than some equivalent top-end naval mines, but it does offer Iran a serious threat to enemy shipping.
Believed to be operational in Caspian sea but not verified.

Quantity in service UNKNOWN
Length: 8m
Crew: 2 + up to 7 additional divers
Weapons: up to 17 Limpet mines
A small “chariot” design typical of special forces insertion vehicles, the type is only suitable for coastal operations.
Can be launched from a ship or under-slung from a large helicopter (Sea King, Mi-8 Hip or Chinook).

The Nahange appear
to be a bit wider and a bit longer than the Ghadir, perhaps as much as twice the displacement (around 350-400 tons), and appears to have more electronics than other mini-submarines observed. The first theory, of which I'm not a subscriber, is that the mini-submarine is intended for offensive warfare operations against other ships. The second theory, which is possible, is the Nahang can deploy either more or larger mines than the Ghadir class can. The third theory is that the Nahang class is for smuggling and special operations.

[/URL]I don't really know, my expertise is in systems not submarine engineering, so we offer some of these photo's hoping that our readers can offer some insights into what this submarines purpose is. Clearly we all observe some 'characteristics' of the submarine based on the photography, and there is no reason to expand that discussion, however our interest isn't capabilities rather purpose. With an understanding that Iran has swimmer delivery vehicles for diver operations, and the Ghadir class is almost certainly for mine warfare, based on models and photo's (of which many more are available via The sub can accommodate a two-man crew and three divers

[/URL]However, the video has another piece of noteworthy footage, specifically the video pans a Nahang class mini-submarine. We have previously discussed the various Iranian underwater warfare capabilities, but recently we have had some debate regarding the purpose of the Nahang class. From our perspective, from a public perspective we have the most photography of the Nahang class mini-submarine, but internally we have the most contention regarding what this mini-submarine is.
