IRGC Sole Producer of Armed Speedboats | ||
IRGC Sole Producer of Armed Speedboats A senior naval commander said the Islamic Republic has a monopoly on the production of missile-launching speedboats and has included thousands of such vessels in its fleet. Iran is the only country that has speedboats capable of firing rockets and missiles at high speed, the Islamic Revolution Guards’ Corps (IRGC) Navy Commander Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said. “We now have speedboats that can launch missiles at the speed of over 60 kilometers per hour,” Fars News Agency quoted him as saying. Rear Admiral Fadavi further noted that Iran has thousands of such high-speed vessels. Rear Admiral Fadavi said in March that speedboats, specially the newly mass-produced missile-launching vessels, have granted greater mobility and might to the IRGC Navy, and promoted it to a unique force in the world. | ||
