Iran plans to unveil 10 new frigates, destroyers

The Iranian Navy's deputy chief for Technical Affairs, Rear Admiral Abbas Zamini, says the Islamic Republic plans to unveil 10 new indigenous frigates and destroyers.

Zamini said on Tuesday that the plan to build 10 more naval vessels comes after the country’s two major destroyer projects: Jamaran, a Mowj-1 class destroyer launched in 2010 and Velayat, a Mowj-2 class destroyer, whose construction is completed by 70 percent and will finish by the end of the current Iranian calendar year (started March 20).

The commander said the new projects also included the construction of Mowj and Sina-class destroyers and missile-launching frigates.
