Iranian Navy Reciecves a Stealth Sub

RIA - Novosti

Iran's Navy commissioned Wednesday a domestically designed and produced light submarine featuring extended stealth capability and strong firepower, state television reported.

The submarine, dubbed Ghadir, is reportedly fitted with noise-reduction features and is capable of firing missiles and torpedoes simultaneously.

"This submarine is equipped with advanced weapons and electronics systems. It has been developed in the last decade by [Iranian] scientists and engineers," a TV program quoted Navy commander, Admiral Habib Sayyari, as saying.

Ok all Naval experts, did this come as a suprise or is this similar to the new MRBM that actuually proved no new capabilities?

Just the fact that they are domestically producing those kinds of subs at all is impresive.
