By Elnur Baghishov - Trend:
Iran's Damavand warship will join the national Navy in the Caspian Sea soon, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami told reporters, Trend reports referring to Fars news agency.
The minister noted that this will be a new version of Damavand destroyer which sunk in the Caspian Sea in January 2018 after suffering damage during the stormy weather in Anzali Port in northern Iran.
“Today, all Iran’s missiles enjoy precision-striking power, that is to say when a missile is fired, it hits exactly the center of the specified square,” the minister said.
In relevant remarks last year, Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi underlined that the country’s experts had decreased the time needed for manufacturing destroyers to less than two years.
“Today, we enjoy the capacity to build destroyers in a timespan of less than two years, and we are making efforts to reduce it to less than one year,” Rear Admiral Khanzadi said.
