The Iranian Navy has brought back into operation a Russian-built submarine, after major repairs with locally produced components, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting company, IRIB, reported on Tuesday.
Some 18,000 components, including propellers and radars, were replaced on the Tareq (Russian Project 877EKM Paltus), one of Iran’s three Kilo-class submarines, which entered service in 1992.
The submarine was relaunched from a dry dock in an Iranian port.
The other two Kilo-class subs are the Nooh (1993) and the Yunes (1997).
