“The Fateh submarine is currently being manufactured by the Iranian Defense Ministry,” Rear Admiral Gholam Reza Khadem-Bigham said in an interview with the Fars News Agency published on Saturday.
The new submarine will be delivered to the Navy in the near future, he said.
The 600-ton submarine is of the semi-heavy class, which will be used in protecting the country’s maritime borders. The submarine, equipped with various advanced equipment including torpedoes and sonar systems, can operate in the depth of 200 meters beneath the water surface for almost 5 weeks.
