MOSCOW, May 29 (RIA Novosti)

 

The Iranian Navy has brought back into operation a Russian-built submarine, after major repairs with locally produced components, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting company, IRIB, reported on Tuesday.

 

CV32: It will be interesting to see how well that works out.

Although the Iranians are good at workarounds for many other systems and they have a submarine industry (with their IRGCN mini-subs) in its infancy stage, only time will tell if they are able to successfully modernize the Tareq class of Russian-made Kilos. Paint me ekeptical at this point.
