"Our
fast attack craft fleet is often twice as fast as their American
rivals. The plan is to make them go even faster,” Navy Spokesperson told the
state-run TV
Referring to the US official remarks that
Washington is aware of the scope of IRGC's missile tunnels and vessels
along the Iranian coasts, he said, "The Americans don’t know everything
about us and the things they know is what we, ourselves, have shown and
wanted them to know it."
"Their unknown is twice the realm of their known," he added.
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements
in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing
essential military equipment and systems.
Iranian officials have always stressed that the
country's military and arms programs serve defensive purposes and should
not be perceived as a threat to any other country.
Iran Navy announced back in May that plans to
mass-produce missile launching speedboats with the speed of 80 knots
per hour are on the menu.
"Based on the fifth five-year (development) plan,
we should materialize our objective of mass-producing military
speedboats with the speed of 80 knots per hour. This is a formidable
speed in the world's navies," Iran Navy said.
"Therefore, we should try to mass-produce
speedboats that can traverse at the speed of 80 knots (per hour) and are
equipped with missiles with a range of 100km; the vessels no one can
catch," the IRGC commander added.
Commander also said that the IRGC Navy is equipped
with laboratories and pools in which the country's experts can design
and test speedboats with the speed of 120 knots per hour.
