Кто сказал, что торпедные катера ушли в прошлое ? Иранцы не согласны !
Говорят, новая разработка - полупогружной ТКА типа Zolfaqar (он же Zulfikar, он же тип Kajami). На основе северокорейского Taedong-B.

The intelligence community designation 'Taedong-B' refers to a boatyard in North Korea where the craft were built(Google Maps). Two examples formed part of an arms shipment sent to Iran in 2002. In Iranian service it was renamed the Kajami Class, and more recently as the Zulfikar. Interestingly the type is operated by the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC-N) as opposed to the Marines or Navy.
Iranian media and internet claims that it is of Iranian orgin are plainly mistaken.
