The confrontation of the submarines of Israel and Iran in the Red SeaThe commander-in-chief of the Iranian Navy, Admiral Sayyari, stated that Tehran is guiding a submarine (Varshavyanka, 877EKM Submarine, Russia) and a frigate to conduct patrols of the Red Sea. Submarines of the project 877EKM with a displacement of 3040 tons. Armament - six torpedo tubes caliber 533 mm, ammunition - 24 mines or 18 torpedoes. The maximum depth of immersion is 350 m., Autonomy is 45 days, the crew is 57 people. According to Sayari, the appointment of the task force, while in the Red Sea, is not only patrolling, but also demonstrating Iran’s combat power and capabilities.

This raid in the waters that washed the coast of the Arabian Peninsula and Africa is not the first for the Iranian Navy submariners in 2011. At the end of May, the Iranian submarine “Yonos” (also of the 877EKM project) for the first time history The existence of the Navy of this state made an unprecedented voyage in terms of duration and range, during which it crossed the north-western part of the Indian Ocean, passed the Gulf of Aden, and reached the ultimate goal of the cruise - the Red Sea. The stated goal of the trip was to quickly collect information. In July, the commander-in-chief of the Iranian Navy announced that his subordinates were expecting only “go-ahead” of the government of the states so that the warships would go even further. In the ambitious plans of the Iranian Navy is the presence of their own ships in the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and international waters. With a positive final decision, the ships will be sent to the waters of the Atlantic.

Tel Aviv, in view of this development of the situation, did not delay with a weighty response to the statement of the Iranian admiral Sayyari. The Israelis immediately sent two rocket boats to the Red Sea. At this time, the Israeli Navy has three submarines of the “Dolphin” class, built in Germany. They are a key part of the nuclear defense of a “defenseless” Jewish state. Israeli military cruise missiles with a range of 1500 kilometers can carry not only conventional, but also nuclear warheads. All three Israeli submarines are on alert in the Mediterranean. Periodically, one of them through the Suez Canal, accompanied by a corvette, passes for a short time into the Red Sea.

The presence of one submarine near the Iranian coast, according to Israeli strategists, should be a guarantee of a nuclear retaliation against Iran if the eternal enemies of Tel Aviv (Damascus, Tehran, the Palestinian movement "Hamas" and the Lebanese Hezbollah) cause significant damage to other components that constitute the potential of Israel’s nuclear deterrence. Immediately before the outbreak of hostilities, all submarines must be redeployed to the Persian Gulf in order to be able to keep the entire territory of Iran under a missile sight.

Israeli submarines "Leviatan", "Dolphin" and "Tecuma" have long been fully mastered the waters of the Persian Gulf. But if earlier they went there, bending around Africa, then in recent months their route passes through the Suez Canal and further to the Red Sea. Perhaps this is the secret of considerable attention to him from the Iranian Navy.

Today between the “Dolphins” of Israel and the “Warsawyans” of Iran there is a parity - 3 on 3. However, the Israeli Navy has already ordered two submarines of the same type in order to achieve superiority. There is no doubt that such a move by Israel will not go unnoticed by the Iranian military, and there is no doubt that in the armed forces of the Iranian Navy new submarines will appear in the near future as a response to Israel.

    5 actually free German cruise missile submarines, here Iran needs to look for rapprochements with Turkey or to develop an asymmetric response by itself.

      Guys, don't forget what "Varshavyanka" is, read the performance characteristics, it's not for nothing that her adversaries call "Black Hole". Still in production and armed with supersonic torpedo missiles, that's power

        And German submarines are good, especially with non-volatile engines. And with such will be like 4 and 5 “Dolphin”
        That's what submarines with such engines are capable of, I don’t think that German should be worse
        "During an exercise in the Atlantic in 2000, the Swedish submarine Halland sank a Spanish diesel-electric submarine, as well as French and American nuclear submarines.
        In 2006-2007, the submarine Gotland was leased by the United States to participate in the exercises. During the exercise, the submarine consistently played the role of an ally of the United States in the war with a third party and an adversary of the United States, "attacking" attack carrier formations, submarines, patrol ships and aircraft. The purpose of the American exercises was to assess the effectiveness of non-nuclear submarines and to practice actions to counter such submarines. During the exercise, Gotland, in particular, "sank" the US Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan. "

    Fine. And 3 on 3 can be so brewed that others will not find it.

    Again, civilian journalists offended the sailors: they called the warship a ship. Usually the answer is: "the ship is under the bed!" Yes, and they made fun of the missiles, calling the launch range the radius of the flight, as if the missiles were returning. And, finally, reconnaissance in neutral waters is not espionage (illegal collection of information), but one of the usual tasks of combat service. In short, the editorial office lacks competent consultants. Well, in essence of the article: there is nothing new, all this has long been known.

    All the same, the sea is not a priority for us - it is important for us that Iran resist the attack of the pendos and their sixes. And for this, it is urgent to deliver there with 300 and 400 with cover shells.

    - although another 2-3 modern submarines will not hinder the Persians now either

    And Iranian officers for courses in Russia. Advisers and instructors there - if we do not want the enemy to go through the Persians and come to us on the Caspian

    Now the Persians entered into a confrontation with our enemy and in our place - but they have little strength - only courage

      We won’t be allowed to put three hundred in Iran, U.S. intelligence will get ahead of us, raise kipish to the whole world and make Russia a friend and accomplice of the fanatical regime of Iran. And we still don’t know what Iran can be with the 400. The trick is that Russia 10 years ago, for example, it could sell something presumably from Pzrk, and possibly from 300 to Iran when it was still quiet at the border, so to speak. laughing I think Iran has a lot of powerful weapons in the nest that they carefully hide until the time has come to show it. Iran learned from the mistakes of others and I think the army will impress any military analyst of Western countries. laughing

    There must be a country that will give Iran a loan for the purchase of modern weapons. The general militarization of Iran is geopolitically beneficial to Russia (not modern Russia, but Russia which does not exist yet, but I will hope)
