Iran’s navy on Monday added a destroyer capable of launching cruise missiles to its Caspian Sea fleet, state media reported.
The 1,400-ton Deilaman destroyer is 95 meters (312 feet) long and 11 meters (36 feet) wide and can launch torpedoes while traveling at 30 knots (56 kph, 35 mph), the state-owned IRNA news agency said.
Deilaman can detect more than 100 targets, including vessels, drones, helicopters, submarines, and aircraft, simultaneously, the report said.
This is the sixth warship Iran has commissioned in the Caspian Sea, the largest inland body of water in the world, shared by Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Iran.
