Does look like a Kilo. Iran has a couple of those they got from Russia.

"Are you referring to our purchase of oil, or something else? I didn't see any reference that we provided technical assistance. ((or Loral)"

Purchase of oil is part of it. We're cashing up these animals. As to training... our Universities are filled with foreign nationals, who generally get grants my kids can't get. When I was in training in the Navy, back in 1977, our training schools were filled with Iranians.

Thank John McCain, Alcee Hastings and all the others who voted against drilling off the Florida coast and in ANWR.

Probably sounds like a whole collection of pots and pans banging together as it kerflumps through the water.

Islam is what you get when an angry, half-retarded pedophile reads the Art of War.

That may be one of the funniest descriptions I've heard yet. ROTFL!

I remember when the Shah was overthrown, and the entire countryside around New London was littered with Trans-Ams that had been abandoned by Iranian submariners.

So people go from living in huts to building submarines with their "own" knowledge.

The Iranians are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Iranian Navy can get a really good look at the old Iranian Navy 30 minutes after the US Navy attacks.

I suspect that very few of them, if they were in Iran at the time, survived the revolution.

Stating that the home-made wale-class submarine is now ready to join the army fleet,




I saw that too. Does this thing go under the sand?

I am sure the Iranians have made many improvements over the
CSS H.L. Hunley, and I am sure some school over there is missing its boiler.

Iran has no motor fuel refineries, yet is flush with crude oil. Makes you wonder...

They could build a refinery for a hell of a lot less than what they are spending on a Nuke plant.

Got their heads up their butts.

"I didn't see any reference that we provided technical assistance"

I don't see any evidence that there's a grain of truth to the article.

One small missile would take out Iran's gasoline and diesel supply. The storage tanks would be empty in two weeks.
