Iran’s Navy Commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari says the country has reached self-sufficiency in the defense sector and can now meet its defense demands, Press TV reports.
Sayyari made the remarks in a ceremony to launch two upgraded versions of the indigenously-built Ghadir-class light submarine and two overhauled hovercraft.
The Ghadir submarine was first unveiled in 2007. The 120-ton vessel has excellent shallow-depth performance and can carry out long-term coastal missions.
Along with submarines, Iran also unveiled the main structure of the Sina 7 missile-launching frigate.
