Iran To Add ‘Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis’ Vessel to Its Navy Fleet

Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri said that Iran is set to manufacture a new vessel named 'Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis' next year.


It took 18 months for Iran to manufacture the recently unveiled 'Martyr Soleimani' combat patrol vessel, he said.

Now Iran is able to design and make a vessel within a year, Admiral Tangsiri further noted.

The speed of Iran-made warships is more than three times that of American vessels, the commander underscored.

'Martyr Soleimani' combat patrol vessel is 67-meter long and has a 600-ton displacement weight.
