Question:
How can this thing launch missiles and rocket torpedoes simultaneously when it has only 2 launch tubes? I also hardly believe that a Missile could be displaced into a so small sub and launched from there.

Answer:
You are right! These claims are ridiculous. This information must have been posted by some silly Iranian schoolboy. It is just wild unsubstantiated claims and not to be taken seriously.

These information are declared by Iranian Admiral on the Iranian state TV. You can find it on YouTube. --VatooVatoo 21:26, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Well this Admiral is just stating the Iranian line of ridiculous propanganga. The claims are just laughable and not to be taken seriously. This sub looks like 1950's technology at best. Rocket propelled torpedoes and missiles - it's a midget how many could it carry. The only thing this sub would be any use for is special forces insertion/extraction. Even then once it's detected its DEAD. It's just a joke along with the rest of the obsolete Iranian fleet. All Iran's neighbours except Iraq even have much more modern and potent fleets.

The Kilo_class_submarine isn't outdated yet, although three of them wouldn't make much of a difference - but in a war where a single casuality is enough to withdraw the whole army and navy and airforce, a Kilo captain with no ideas of post-attack survival surely could inflict a serious blow on a US warship, greatly affecting morale at home. The Chinese-made harpoon-equivalent anti-ship missile systems on the coast in southern Iran surely is no laughing matter either. The question is of course if Iran is willing to use these systems. --Popoi (talk) 18:52, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Seems I can't post on the original article refuting the claims in this article. The claims in this article are nothing but Iranian government propaganda and should really not be taken seriously by anyone. This submarine is nothing more than a midget and technologically looks like something from the 1950's. The claims of being capable of firing rocket propelled torpedoes and missiles is ludicrous. The vessel doesn't even look big enough to handle full size torpedoes. Certainly they couldn't be loaded thru the hatches. As for stealth technology, well the large cylinder for'd of the sail would make for a very noisy sub when travelling at anything more than 2-3 knots. It's about as stealthy as a rock concert. LOL. Only thing this sub would be useful for is special forces insertion/extraction. This vessel is really just a very poor attempt at submarine building and cannot be taken as a serious military threat. It's more of a novelty than a serious fighting ship!

well if this thing even exists its probablly based on north korean mini sub technology, and the specifications for it would be similar to those of a north korean mini sub, ie two small torpedo tubes/ mine capablitity and special forces insertion as stated above, anything concerning missles and or rocket torpedos is pure nonsense. This thing wouldnt be a threat to anything except perhaps merchant vessels. XavierGreen —Preceding unsigned comment added by XavierGreen (talk • contribs) 17:40, August 27, 2007 (UTC)
