The Iranian Navy frigate IRIS Sahand (F-74) sank in the port of Bandar Abbas in the Persian Gulf for an unknown reason.

The Iranian Navy lost the frigate IRIS Sahand (F-74), the ship suddenly sank in the port of Bandar Abbas for unknown reasons. Russian resources report this with reference to Iranian media.

In the port of Bandar Abbas, located in the south of Iran on the shores of the Persian Gulf, the frigate of the Iranian Navy IRIS Sahand (F-74) sank, the cause is currently unknown. Judging by the photo, the ship lay on the left side and sank to the bottom; only part of the starboard side and conning tower rises above the water. Iranian media confirm the “incident”, but for now write about some kind of accident.



It is worth noting that this frigate is quite new; it entered service on December 1, 2018. IRIS Sahand (F-74) was built at the Shahid Darvishi Marine Industries shipyard in Bandar Abbas on the Strait of Hormuz, the frigate is the third ship of the Mowj project, after Jamaran and Damavand. According to tradition, it was named after the Sahand volcano; previously this name was borne by a light frigate of the Vosper mk.5 type, built in Britain, which was lost in battle with the Americans during Operation Mantis in 1988.



Moje-class ships have a displacement of about 1500 tons and a length of 95 m; in Iran they are classified as destroyers. The crew consists of 140 people. They have reduced radar signature and can carry a helicopter; there is a special platform for this.

IRIS Sahand (F-74) is known for its passage from the Persian Gulf to the Baltic Sea in 2021, after which it took part in the Main Naval Parade of the Russian Navy.

      A bad sign. A new President of Iran has just been elected. Let me remind you that during the inauguration of the same Zelensky, one of the soldiers who was at the event fainted. This was a sign of high losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As if Iran would not make things worse for itself by striving for reforms.

          It became known that during the inauguration of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, at some point there was an embarrassment: a soldier of the honor guard solemnly marched to the podium of the Verkhovna Rada. Zelensky placed the presidential ID on a special pillow held by a representative of the honor guard.

          After this, the soldier leaves, but in the words: “... present the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky with his insignia,” the soldier drops the “crust.”

          According to Ukrainian media, deputies from the Samopomich faction immediately rushed to raise the document.

          Users on social networks immediately wrote: “Even though no one fainted, it’s already progress.” And they remembered the inauguration of Petro Poroshenko, when one of the honor guard soldiers next to him became ill and he lost consciousness.

            Don't confuse "victim of abortion technology" with military equipment.
            Military equipment (especially the navy) can have a lot of waterproofing.

            I remember when I was a child I got a military radio, a Soviet one, about 67 years old, R-855u.
            So everything inside has gaskets, everything is screwed on, there are protective membranes. And this is a wearable radio where weight is important.

            I suspect that in the case of ships (and especially submarines), everything from wiring to equipment is protected.

              To begin with, do not confuse a huge ship, stuffed with the most complex advanced technology, and a military radio. How do you know how Iranian shipbuilders assemble their products under the most severe sanctions?
              If your smartphone is a “victim of the abortion of technology,” then I sincerely feel sorry for you.
              However - in sea water, in conditions of agitated bottom port sediments, for an unknown period of time, and then “wash, dry”, and then fight with a light heart, then you, excuse me, are an inadequate optimist... Sorry again. hi

                A smartphone is “shit without tasks that needs to be sold to the end user, and in 3 years it will be outdated.” That is, if military equipment, construction equipment, or network/server equipment are made to meet certain requirements and for certain tasks, then a smartphone is more and more about marketing (shit + advertising = pills).
                Including if the programmers weren’t dumb and the designers weren’t degenerates) then there wouldn’t be a need for much productivity growth.
                Of course, it’s funny to buy a new one every N years, just so that the same tasks that were “flying” before and now slow down - “flying” again.
                A smartphone that is 10 years old is a corpse even with a new battery.
                At the same time, for example, a 10-year-old server is still busy.

                        due to the fact that I am a customs officer, albeit a former one, I know a lot about drownings lol
                        The briefs included a note that this car was a drowning car and the insurance company paid everything.
                        The FCS regularly published reviews about this - because these machines were on anecdotal prices - 200-300-500 dollars. And the dance began with recognition of the authenticity of documents, additional charges, bribes, scandals and so on.

                        It is clear that you are terribly far from this topic. -
                        The Poles and Balts dismantled, cleaned and assembled the car completely within 500 hours. They charged from 1000 to XNUMX bucks for it
                        As soon as you have the opportunity to earn 1000 bucks a day, you will understand their incentive.
                        Right now in Dagestan, overhaul of a KAMAZ engine is done in 6-7 hours for 8-10 (without spare parts). And with a real guarantee

                        And if the deceived buyer simply dances around with such a car, if the haul was not completely off the top of my head and I was afraid of running into trouble, I took a more adequately washed one.
                        But as you understand, this cheese is cheap.

                        About washing with alcohol twice, thanks, I laughed... in 1993 in Dubna they missed working installation of Phobos on the MTs-400 accelerator with water from the technical water supply. With rust and other deposits for 40 years.
                        Laundered in 2 weeks. Including the technology I described
                        It all depends on valuables object. Any smartphone is a cheap thing in terms of its meaning and disposability compared to Phobos or sunken ships

            Thus, the destroyer "Steregushchy" was sunk during the Second World War and then, 3 years later, it was raised and put into operation after repairs, and this is a fact. It should be taken into account that he received 3 bomb hits. And this is not the only such case.

            On September 21, 1941, during a raid by German bombers, he received three direct hits. As a result, the first engine and third boiler rooms were flooded, but the destroyer managed to reach the shallows, where it soon sank. At the City Russian Cemetery of Kronstadt there is a mass grave of the Guardian sailors who died on this day.

            On July 20, 1944, it was raised and put into overhaul. The restoration of the destroyer was completed after the Great Patriotic War.

                    Even if you accidentally drop your phone in water, it is unlikely that anything terrible will happen to it. But only if its battery is not damaged. Otherwise, if the battery comes into contact with water, a fire or explosion may occur. However, this is only 1% of all cases... As for the phone itself, it must be immediately taken out of the water and allowed to dry completely. There are models with IP67 and IP68 moisture protection. However, there is also a nuance here: for example, when in contact with hot water, this function will definitely not help.


                    So the main thing is: don’t cook your smartphone and everything will be OK. As for "Sergei Kotov", even the Western Wiki notes that only Ukrainian media report the sinking of the ship; our Ministry of Defense does not confirm this information.

    In any case, “professionals” acted on both sides. On the Iranian side, “professionals” are idiots. Judging by the first “hull” to the pier, the ship is serious, with two steering columns. And it is seriously tied to the shore. And the Iranian one has two ends the frigate did not come off, it makes me think.

      The closest is Egypt. One of their main sources of foreign exchange is the Suez Canal. Or rather, he appeared until the Houthis blocked the Red Sea.
      Also China, although a little far away. Almost all of their exports to Europe went through the Red Sea. Now they are driving around Africa, so delivery has become much longer and more expensive. Israel suffered only slightly; cargo flows passing through Eilat were redirected to Mediterranean ports. But in America they didn’t feel this at all.

    As I understand it, it was under repair. But during repairs, anything can happen, such as the outboard pipe was dismantled and the plug was not installed, or something was screwed on incorrectly, or the terminals were mixed up. Nowadays you can destroy a lot of things just by tapping the touchscreen. The Iranians seem to write that they have already raised it, but at a minimum, restoration repairs, primarily electronics and electricians, are necessary. The Norwegians did not restore their “diver”. As for the reasons, the IRGC will probably figure it out.
