ReplyDeleteYour evidence, if any, for that assertion?
ReplyDeleteIran builds its own submarines.Fateh 600 ton submarine most likely in service and might be revealed in November 2012.And Besat 1200 plus ton submarine might be revealed as well.All these diesel electric subs have been claimed to operate with AIP.
