Iran comissions three sub-submarines

Would you ride on one of these?

Boasting that they took ten years to develop and are "filled with sophisticated electronics" [probably built by Garmin and purchased on eBay], Iran announced today that it has added three more Ghadir class submarines to its naval fleet, bringing the total number of their tiny subs to seven.

The Iranian military said that the submarine can easily evade detection as it is equipped with sonar-evading technology and can fire missiles and torpedoes simultaneously. [10 to 1 these "missiles and torpedoes" were miniaturized in China.]
