Iran to launch two new ships, submarine

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iran's navy is planning to launch two new ships and a submarine later this week, the commander of the navy announced Sunday.
All three vessels were made in Iran, the semi-official Fars News Agency quoted Cmdr. Habibolalh Sayyari as saying.
"On the occasion of Navy Day [November 27], two missile-carrying ships named Kalat and Derafsh, as well as a light submarine, will be launched," he said.
Sayyari repeated a long-standing Iranian threat to close the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway, if Iran is threatened.
"We have never said that we will close the Strait of Hormuz. What we did say was that we do have the capability to do so in the event of any aggression or attack," he said.
The United States has said it will not let Iran close the waterway, a vital link in shipping Middle Eastern oil to the world.
Sayyari told reporters that the Iranian navy is monitoring all the movements of foreign ships in the Sea of Oman, the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.
He also said that Iran is not planning on expanding its military presence in the Caspian Sea, but: "We have identified 20 percent of the Caspian as our area and will fully protect that area."
Sayyari added that the Iranian navy planned to hold naval maneuvers called "Unity 87" in early December in the Sea of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian and U.S. vessels have occasionally come in close contact in the region, escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington.

Iran wraps up 1st patrol mission in Somali waters
Tue, 07 Jul 2009 18:09:19 GMT



The Iranian Navy has successfully finished its first patrol mission in the piracy-infested waters off Somali and the Gulf of Aden.

In line with the international efforts against piracy, Tehran deployed two warships in the troubled region in May to confront pirates to safeguard the maritime trade in particular ships and oil tankers owned or leased by Iran.

Navy commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said on Tuesday that the Iranian warships successfully warped up mission on Tuesday after being deployed in the troubled region for 60 days.

According to the commander, during the two-month mission, the stationed warships kept a watchful eye on 366 merchant ships, 36 of which were owned or leased by Iran.

The commander said pirates in the Gulf of Aden had planned to hijack an Iranian oil tanker named Hadi but Iranian warships arrived in the scene on time to rescue it to prevent a $140 million loss.

On Monday, Iran's Deputy Naval Commander, Gholam-Reza Khadem, said Iran dispatched two other warships to replace aging vessels.

Piracy off the coast of Somalia has led to attacks on more than 200 ships over the past 15 months. International concerns over the issue have prompted a fleet of warships to attempt to protect merchant ships in one of the world's most important shipping lanes.

Naval ships from the European Union, NATO and other US-led coalitions have been stationed in the region to prevent hijackings and to capture the ominous pirates.

However, despite international efforts and calls for countering piracy in the notorious Somali waters, the bandits continue to seize ships, holding them until hefty ransoms are paid.

The pirates captured an Iranian vessel for what they called illegal fishing in the northern semi-autonomous region of Puntland in March.

In November, Somali pirates also hijacked a Hong Kong-flagged cargo ship, Delight, operated by the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) in the Gulf of Aden.

The UN Security Council passed four resolutions on the issue in 2008, the last of which -- issued in December -- authorizes states to "take all necessary measures that are appropriate in Somalia" to suppress "acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea" for one year.

Iran sends second fleet of warships to Gulf of Aden
Tehran Times Political Desk

BANDAR ABBAS – Iran has dispatched a second fleet of warships to the Gulf of Aden to protect Iranian oil tankers and trade vessels, Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari told the Mehr News Agency in Bandar Abbas on Tuesday.

The first fleet of warships that Iran had sent to the Gulf of Aden in May returned home.

Piracy has flourished in recent months off the busy Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean shipping lanes and seaborne gangs have seized several cargo ships and collected tens of millions of dollars in ransom for the safe release of crews and cargoes.

According to the Navy, a group of Somali pirates carried out an offensive against the Iranian oil tanker Hadi late June, but after the tanker contacted the Iranian Navy, a battleship was sent to the location and drove the pirates off.

A U.S. destroyer and a Saudi Arabian frigate also arrived at the location after the Iranian Navy ship began escorting the oil tanker.

Iran's navy launches supersonic fighter jets

Iran's Saeqeh fighter jet

Iran's Navy has employed two home-made supersonic fighter jets named Saeqeh and two gunships named Tiztak in a bid to bolster its defense naval capabilities.

The fighter jets and gunships were officially launched on Saturday in a ceremony attended by Iran's Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi and the Commander of the Iranian Army, Major General Ataollah Salehi.

The highly advanced Saeqeh (thunderbolt) fighter jet has been designed and built by experts of Iran's Defense Ministry, in cooperation with Iran's army, Vahidi said.

"Iran's defense doctrine is based on an effective deterrent. The Islamic Republic pursues no aim, but to establish sustainable peace and security in the region," he added.

Iran test flied the first generation of the home-manufactured Saeqeh fighter jets in September 2007.

The country moves to upgrade its national defense capabilities through home-made production.

Pensei que ia ser o primeiro a postar sobre este assunto, mas parabéns P44.
Por interesse pessoal, acompanho as forças militares iranianas e norte coreanas, por serem os atuais inimigos do tio San. Com atenção para as suas exóticas forças navais. O Golfo Pérsico talvez seja o futuro teatro de grande operações navais. Onde a US Navy se envolverá na guerra de guerrilha naval iraniana.
Com relação ao Jamaran, antes do pessoal criticar o seu aparente obsoletismo, devo lembrar que o Irã fez um esforço absurdo para produzir pelos seus próprios recursos esta belonave. Visto que, se encontra sob um forte bloqueio internacional. Armaram com o que tinham:
1 canhão Farj de 76 mm, cópia pirata iraniana do Oto Melara
2 canhões de 20 mm copias do Oerlikon
1 canhão de 40 mm cópia do Bofors
4 mísseis NOOR anti-navio, desenvolvimento iraniano do chinês C801/802
2 reparos triplos de torpedos anti-submarinos semelhantes ao Mark 32, não sabendo informar a origem.
1 convôo que incrivelmente não tem hangar
Os sensores e sistemas devem ser de fabricação iraniana.
Tudo ou quase tudo made in Iran.

Alguém sabe de quanto é o comércio entre Grã-Bretanha e Brasil?
Por que arrumar confusão com eles por causa da Argentina.
No máximo seria não deixar eles usuarem nosso território como apoio.
E também tem aquela conversa da compra dos Super Tucanos pela GB.
Como será que anda isso?

filme sobre Jamaran

[Bolovo]

Parece ser um das antigas Vosper, só que mais moderna. Acredito que deva ser algo parecido com as nossas Niteroi MODFRAG. Mas pela tonelagem, está mais para uma Inhauma, que é uma corveta. Muito longe de ser um destroier.

[luis F. Silva]

É de facto um derivado directo das corvetas Vosper, e os iranianos chamam destroyer a todos os navios de combate menos as lanchas.

reprodução do post no blog http://acorveta.blogspot.com/2010/02/19 ... marca.html

19 de fevereiro de 2010, esta data marca o lançamento do Jamaran com o número de identificação 76. Após muitas apresentações de maquetes e expeculações sobre a sua forma, o até então denominado Moudge foi lançado e as suas formas se tornaram públicas.

Infelizmente a apresentação do navio decepcionou um pouco quanto as expectativas, por ser mal armado para o seu porte e se encontrar fora do contexto de táticas de guerrilha naval ou guerra assimétrica que o Irã vem desenvolvendo para bloquear o estreito de Hormuz, interropendo assim o trafego de petróleo, dos navios que saem do Golfo Pérsico. Esta tática utiliza múltiplas pequenas embarcações missileiras e torpedeiras algumas com características furtivas, com a finalidade de saturar as defesas dos grandes navios americanos.

Da forma que se encontra o Jamaran, é apenas um navio para mostrar a bandeira, marcando a presença do Irã na região. Na verdade um grande navio de patrulha.

Sem um sistema CIWS ou mísseis anti-aéreos que permitam a defesa contra mísseis ou aeronaves agressoras. Com as suas formas nada furtivas, o Jamaran consiste em um alvo maior e tentador para a US Navy, o maior inimigo da Marinha Iraniana.

A primeira vista o Jamaran apresenta: 01 canhão de 76 mm, de fabrico iraniano, cópia do Oto Melara de 76 mm, posicionado na tradicional posição de proa. Logo atrás dois canhões automáticos de operação manual com calibre de 20 mm, cópias do modelo Oerlikon britânico. Na popa uma cópia do Bofors de 40 mm, de um único tubo, tipo L/70. Dois reparos triplos de torpedos anti-submarino semelhantes ao Mark 32 apareçem logo adiante do convôo sob uma cobertura na lateral.

Estranhamente o navio possui um convôo, mas não tem qualquer tipo de hangar.

O armamento principal são 04 SSM pelo aspecto dos containers lançadores, trata-se do Noor, desenvolvimento iraniano dos mísseis chineses C801/802.

Quanto aos sensores pode observa-se uma diretora de tiro de desenho iraniano, dois radares de navegação e um radar de busca aérea, cuja a antena lembra a antenad do radar AWS 1 empregado nas corvetas Vosper Mk 5 já usadas pelo Irã.

Bem aguardemos novidades.

Como eu disse a Marinha do Irã é bastante exótica. Agora para quem acha o navio muito ruim, sugiro que olhem o que os cubanos improvisaram:
o navio classe Rio Damuji. Aqui vai um link. Este navio é o máximo em improvisação.
