Iran’s stealth warship
Sahand destroyer apparently has advanced warfare capabilities including anti-aircraft guns and surface-to-air missiles; ’This vessel is the result of daring and creative design relying on the local technical knowledge of the Iranian Navy,’ says head of the navy shipyards that built the warship.
Iran’s navy on Saturday launched a domestically made destroyer, which state media said has radar-evading stealth properties, as tensions rise with arch-enemy, the United States.
In a ceremony carried live on state television, the Sahand destroyer—which can sustain voyages lasting five months without resupply—joined Iran’s regular navy at a base in Bandar Abbas on the Gulf.

“Among our plans in the near future is to send two or three vessels with special helicopters to Venezuela in South America on a mission that could last five months,” Iran’s deputy navy commander, Rear-Admiral Touraj Hassani Moqaddam, told the semi-official news agency Mehr.
