Inside pictures! Inside pictures! Please.
Looks kinda small for the big oceans. Must be for local work.
Lots of ex-sub folks around here. Any professional opinions?

Looks like the Iranians stole out latest technology:

Iran's psycho president is determined to butt heads with the West. Where's a sniper when you need one?

Its going to be diesel/electric so no when its stopped its going to be as quiet as any western nations nuclear submarine. If not quieter.
Only when it moves will it be noisy.

Well... I'm no expert, but it would appear the thing is powered by three camels on a treadmill. As for firing missiles, I'm just guessing but it looks like the only "missiles" it fires are water balloons.

The Italians managed to sink a major British combatant in an Egyptian harbor during WWII in a contraption significantly less sophisticated than this sub. Can't remember the details though.
Diesel electric subs are extremely quiet and the waters of the Persian gulf are very difficult for sub detecting gear. Iranian subs could pose a threat to shipping there.

Is that their new stealth battleship in the background?
To: PeteB570
The Japs & the Nazi's both had small, suicide-subs. Think of this as an underwater version of what hit the USS Cole.

I'm thinking that the reason for the firing of missile & torpedo at the same time is so the counter acting forces push it down and back at the same time instead of flipping it over with the missile launch.
