Iran claims its Underwater Missile can destroy enemy warship MIL/NYT, Apr 3, 2006. Nazila Fathi Iran claimed on Sunday that it had test-fired a sonar-evading underwater missile just two days after it announced that it had fired a new missile that could carry multiple warheads and evade radar systems and it can outpace any enemy warship. Iran claims its Underwater Missile can destroy enemy warship Iran claims its new missile is among the world's fastest and can outpace an enemy warship, Gen. Ali Fadavi of the country's elite Revolutionary Guards told state television. General Fadavi said only one other country, Russia, had a missile that moved underwater as fast as the Iranian one, which he said, had a speed of about 225 miles per hour. State television showed what it described as the missile being fired. "The missile carries a very powerful warhead that enables it to operate against groups of warships and big submarines," he said. He contended that the boats that would launch the missile were able to evade detection systems but that "even if an enemy's warship sonar can detect the missile, no warship can escape from this missile because of its high speed."
