Iran to showcase new minesweepers
Iran plans to show off a new, domestically made minesweeper at
the upcoming Day of the Iranian Armed Forces, Mehr news agency
reported.
A minesweeper is a small naval warship designed to counter the
threat posed by naval mines.
The ship will be showcased at the military parade, which will be
held in Iran on April 18 in connection with the Day of the Iranian
Armed Forces.
All units of the Iranian Armed Forces, Sepah corps, land forces and
military aviation will participate at the parade.

the country will be launching major defense projects on sea, air
and in space.

months of the current Iranian year.
Previously Iran reported that a new 500-ton destroyer will be
unveiled this year, as well as the country plans to launch seven
