“The Jamaran destroyer is just a sample… and destroyers based on modern
technology and much more advanced than the Jamaran destroyer are now
being manufactured,” Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayari told the Mehr News
Agency.
Sayari also said Iran will not restrict itself to just one destroyer in Open seas.
The Jamaran destroyer first set sail for the north of the Indian Ocean
and the Gulf of Aden on October 9, 2010. It has so far saved dozens of
Iranian and foreign cargo ships from pirate attacks in the international
waters.
The Jamaran was the first domestically manufactured destroyer. It can
carry helicopters and is equipped with torpedoes. It is 94 meters long
and weighs over 1,500 tons. The warship is capable of engaging in
surface, air, and undersea warfare.
