Iran has launched its Fateh-class submarine, the largest it has ever built, into the Persian Gulf. It has a displacement of 600 tons, which means a significant improvement if compared to the Ghadir-class submarines, which had a displacement of 120 tons. Fateh is equipped with more sophisticated electronic and weaponry systems than the Ghadir-class submarines. The Submarine is bigger than the largest subs built by North Korea, which is believed to have helped Iran produce its 29-meter Ghadir midget subs. Iran has also announced the production of another new submarine class called 'Besat', which will have a displacement of 1200 tons.
