Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani says a hypersonic missile will be installed on Iran’s homegrown Damavand-2 destroyer that will join the Navy in the near future.
On Monday, Irani said the Damavand-2 destroyer will be equipped with “defensive and offensive missiles.”
“All defensive equipment installed on Damavand-2 destroyer is completely up-to-date,” he stated.
Irani stressed that Damavand is equipped with cutting-edge means in all fields, including the latest reconnaissance and combat systems.
He also announced, “All the equipment installed on all other destroyers will be updated over time.”

According to media reports, the Damavand-2 destroyer will join the Navy’s northern fleet in the Caspian Sea.
The Damavand-2, which is an advanced type of Jamaran destroyer, is equipped with new radar and missile systems, as well as propulsion and weaponry systems thanks to cooperation between the Defense Ministry, the Iranian Navy, and the knowledge-based companies, the reports added.
Damavand-1, a 100-meter-long destroyer weighing more than 1,300 tons, officially joined the Iranian Navy’s northern fleet in March 2015.
Three years later, however, the frigate collided with a breakwater while docking at the Caspian port of Bandar Anzali and sank there.
It was recovered from the sea and entered the operational cycle, with new pictures showing that it is equipped with an anti-ship cruise missile launcher and a 76mm gun.
Iran’s Navy has in recent years achieved self-sufficiency in manufacturing surface and sub-surface vessels.
It has also increased its presence in international waters to protect naval routes and provide security for merchant vessels and tankers.
Question: What do Iran and Russia have in common when it comes to developing technology? Neither country is hamstrung by affirmative action hiring.
Zelensky’s frustrations have led him to threaten NATO now, telling them their refusal to discuss Ukraine’s accession to NATO is a “suicidal” move. wtf? Is it all that game-changing shite they’ve been sending him? From certain victory to certain defeat, ain’t no more game-change than that.

A really great idea for Amurka would be to offshore its weapons production to Iran, Russia, China and North Korea.
Much cheaper, better quality and more scientifically advanced.
They did it with cars, consumer electronics, clothing and it worked great.
So why not the arms procurement, why is the logic any different?
(whisper-whisper …) Oh, I get it, sorry. Part of Holocaust reparations where Jew crazy glues a squirt gun together, calls it the “Shekinah-of-Talmud Godzilla Stopper” or some other holy-shmoly bible name and sells it to the eager US taxpayer for couple of billion.
If it ain’t easy money/useless product, Jew rips out his beard, rends clothes, hollers, “Why me, Lord, why oy why, ge-effen-valt?”
Bottom line: if not goy suffering, then Jew suffering, by default.
We mustn’t let Jew suffer, antisemitic.
