“Underwater is a good area (of activity) that is used by our forces but in an asymmetric and small-scale form, meaning that we are not seeking to build large and giant submarines since they are vulnerable.

These new high-speed small-sized equipments [sic] (vessels) will have an underwater function similar to the performance of small speedboats in seas, an ability that has worried the enemy.

Accordingly, we must use the same asymmetric approaches in building tools and equipments and even in defining our tactics.

In addition to rapid transfer of forces and detection of the enemy’s surface and subsurface vessels, these submarines can identify military targets and carry special forces, while they also enjoy rapid swamp power and have radar (sonar) evading capability.

The system enjoys high-precision in targeting.”—Major General Mohammed Ali Jafari, April 24, 2011.
