Iranian Navy received a new destroyer "Dena"

On Monday 14 June, the Iranian Navy officially unveiled the destroyer Dena and the minesweeper Shahin. The event dedicated to the entry into the Navy of new ships was attended by the high military command of Iran. Two ships joined the Iranian the fleetbased in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas.

Dena became the fourth Jamaran-class destroyer built in Iran by order of the country's Ministry of Defense. The ship is equipped with modern weapons, designed for long sea and ocean voyages and can detect, track and destroy various air, surface and underwater targets.

Interestingly, the Dena destroyer is also capable of placing helicopters on its deck, and this already significantly increases the combat power of the Iranian fleet. Indeed, with the help of helicopters, it is possible to carry out landing operations, to support the actions of ships from the air.

The minesweeper "Shahin" is another ship that also joined the ranks of the Iranian fleet. It is a 33 meter long vessel designed and built also in Iran.

The ship is equipped with modern systems that allow detecting and neutralizing sea mines of various classes. This is also very important in the context of the unstable military-political situation in the Persian Gulf.

It is worth noting that the Iranian military industry has recently shown impressive success in the production of various types of weapons. This contributes to increasing Iran's self-sufficiency in the field of weapons and reduces the degree of its dependence on the supply of foreign weapons in the face of sanctions.

The country's authorities have repeatedly noted the importance of the task of developing the military industry, since the country must strengthen its military potential, including missile power. Tehran also emphasizes that the country's defense capabilities will never be a subject of negotiations. In fact, this means the commitment of the Iranian authorities to the course of a further build-up of armaments and the development of the domestic defense industry.

The appearance of new ships in Iran is another alarming signal for the Gulf states, which have difficult relations with the Islamic republic, as well as for the United States, which claims to be the patron saint of the oil monarchies of the Gulf and is currently one of the main open opponents of Iran.

Well, at the expense of Iran, etc. There are more global plans, to erase such a state in the BV .. It prevents some from robbing there.

On May 10, 2020, during practical missile firing of the Iranian Navy, an anti-ship missile fired from the Iranian frigate Jamaran (tail number "76") hit the Iranian large missile boat A 1403 Konarak (sometimes called "corvette"), which was completely burned out. At the same time, according to the official report, 19 members of the Konarak crew, including its commander, were killed.

The Iranian frigate Damavand was thrown onto a breakwater during a storm in the Caspian Sea. The incident occurred on January 10, 2018 during a storm in the area of ​​Iran's main naval base on the Caspian coast - the port of Bandar Anzali. Damavand is the largest Iranian warship in the Caspian Sea and was accepted into the Iranian Navy in March 2015.

The ship is lost. The armament was removed. In general, this is a success for the Iranian shipbuilding, but as a combat unit in the Persian Gulf, it is in no way superior to a missile boat. Rockets are outdated, incl. Air defense. But of course it is necessary to study, because this is an important step of the Iranian defense industry in the right direction. In any case, he can operate on the high seas. I hope they will order our pr. 20380 - for today this is the best option.

[TermNachTer]

To call this ship a destroyer, to put it mildly, is incorrect, especially against the backdrop of the Arlie Bjork or its analogs.

[URAL72]

And what am I talking about. In general, Iran calls it a destroyer, in the west it is called a frigate, but as for me, a corvette.

[Ruslan Sulima]

As well as a 33-meter boat with a minesweeper, it does not even pull on the base one. I'm not talking about equipment

[TermNachTer]

Well, on basic, it can pull. If the bay is small and no particular excitement is expected.

[Castro Ruiz]

Well, what is it a destroyer with 1372t. It's a corvette.
The architecture of the 70s is a little shamanic.

[rocket757]

It's clear. Anyone who wants to be independent will be armed to the teeth.
This is the world, these are the rules of the game.

[Paranoid50]

It smacks of anti-Semitism.

Article level we write horrible.

able to place helicopters on its deck

This is already the 4th destroyer in this hull, differences in superstructure options. And yes, there is one helicopter on the open deck, there is a variant a la Tent made of tubular structures and tarpaulin, they say it can carry helicopter UAVs in the hangar and the small survey UAV forgot what it is called, like Orlan.

This contributes to increasing Iran's self-sufficiency

First of all, Chinese diesel engines and gearboxes, various systems and other help, but this is the first destroyer on which an Iranian licensed Bonyan engine has already been installed or something like that.

Well, let's be honest - this is a classic Iranian destroyer, which is a corvette at most. Arming:
- 76mm Iranian Melara.
- 2 ready-made SAM Standard-1, or rather their Iranian versions with Chinese and Turkish assistance and 8/16 ammunition. It's over the nose of the container.
- 4 RCC Nur, which are an Iranian licensed copy of the Chinese RCC C-802/03, which in turn was made from Exoset.
- 40mm Iranian-type Bofors and 23mm quick-firing guns.
- 2x3 Iranian clones MK-46.

Of the body kits, only the new overview on the HEADLIGHT canvas is interesting. The rest is generally a museum on architecture.

And here's an overview of the weapons, thanks!
I must say that for Iran and such a displacement, the corvette is toothy. Overripe licked archaic with superstructures - this is how it looks externally!

In fact, this series of "destroyers" of the "Moudge" class is nothing more than a little "reworked" patrol frigates of the "Saam" class of the British built "Vickers Thornycroft" (in service with the Iranian Navy - from the very beginning of the 70s !.

Corvette, actually

[Flashpoint]

In fact, this is a corvette, not a destroyer. I have not yet found the composition of the weapons in detail.

Dena is the fifth destroyer built by the Islamic Republic's National Defense Enterprises. According to the head of the Marine Industry Organization under the Iranian Ministry of Defense Amir Rastegari, "Dena" has a modern fire control system. The ship is capable of detecting and tracking up to 40 targets, including enemy aircraft and submarines. The destroyer can fire to kill simultaneously at four targets, while the detection and launch of missiles at enemy surface targets is possible at ranges of up to 300 kilometers. The ship is equipped with an advanced electronic warfare system and a platform for placing on board one helicopter.

Here the details:

[Marachuh]

The very moment when Iran makes destroyers, and you do not. Even heard about "Supergorshkov", who knows?

[Avior]

Anything larger than a missile boat is called a destroyer in Iran, it seems

Displacement 1372 tons (full) [

[Marachuh]

Not much. But we are also in no hurry to make frigates and destroyers. We are doing much better with the civilian fleet.

[donavi49]

What civilian fleet? According to the Odessa project, the Volgo-Don tanker / dry cargo vessels are doing well, but with the passenger ships they failed, again they relied on the residents of Odessa, and they refused project support. As a result, Peter the Great rusts in Astrakhan.

For four years of construction, the availability of the cruise ship "Peter the Great" is 43%

The successes of the star = this is the success of the Koreans, who are pulling over saturated ships ahead of schedule. For example, now 2-3 ships at the GCC are still being completed around the Korean set.

And in Korea, they are waiting for a vacant place at the plant to ferry two more ships, which are already ready.

Turks build ferries for Sakhalin. They will also be a dock for the icebreaker. Well, etc.

[Marachuh]

Okay. And the icebreakers? And what about dry cargo ships from Nevsky, Krasny Sormovo and Oksk? And what about trawlers from Severnaya and Vybsky? Pennant builds passenger hydrofoils !? And Pella tuned tugs for 50 units. ?

[donavi49]

Well icebreakers yes.
Dry cargo vessels, I also indicated - this is RST / RSD under the IIB project (Odessa).

Trawlers - on projects of Iceland, Norway and IIB. By the way, the latter is very difficult, in fact, after the head series got up. This is the KMT01 project - they managed to get imports at the head office, they sit with the rest of them thinking + project support as with Peter the Great, now the Odessa IIB was forced to stop working directly and legally with Russia.

Kometa120P failed in operation, and as a result, the project was buried. 3 ships were built. And even they are not normally used.

New Meteor120R - there seems to be 1 + 3 order, that is, 1 firm and 3 options. While building the head.
Pella is great, but a graduate of the University of Chicago business grabbed them with a firm grip - and, together with friends from federal departments, are breaking their legs right now. By principle, either at the cemetery or at the USC. The last year was very difficult for Pella - and a fine from the Ministry of Defense for nothing (well, they were not the ones who put the ship on the parade and they are not tightening the engines), and problems with a drowned trawler, which has already become a cost of the shipyard + can still be sued in court to the maximum. In general, they will either follow to the USC, or they will be nailed to someone else influential, or they will be trampled in another three years.

[Gunther]

surprisingly, in the context of international sanctions and terrorism from Israel, the country is developing successfully.
this is what the national orientation of the Iranian elite means.
