No, Jim; it's just "desert-themed" after the American SW. Can't you see the bolo ties and boots on the sailors in the photo? There's even a dreamcatcher over the helm.

Oooooh, how cuuute!

That sailor had better not wave to his girlfriend or they all might tip over and fall in.

It reminds me of a tourist submarine ride at an aging amusement park. Or a Columbian drug smuggling submarine. I see a lucrative export market for them. How many kilos of coke can it hold before it floods?

Does anybody who looks at that picture believe that that little hunk of junk can launch anti-ship missiles? Especially the Yahoo dopes who blindly publish this junk? Maybe the first mate pops his head out of the tower and fires an RPG then ducks back down.

This appears to be just another Ghadir class mini-sub, with the usual BS embellishments by the Iranians and ignorance of all things military by Yahoo.

They just tested some incredible new VTOL drone technology. "World's first in class", they say:

Now check out Japan's Chiba University QTW-UAV from 2008:

I'll be you dollars to donuts that Iran hasn't paid for one of it's Photoshop licenses, either.
