Iran’s Bizarre 'Aircraft Carrier' Seen In New Detail

A converted commercial ship with an angled flight deck, the Shahid Bagheri looks strange but could fill a mission set that Iran has been developing for years. A converted commercial ship with an angled flight deck, the Shahid Bagheri looks strange but could fill a mission set that Iran has been...

Its a drone carrier not what we know as AC.

Still not a viable option, w/o the accompanying battle group. Iran should instead try to make Submarines who can unleash drones.

The IRGC is building a battle group for itself.

 

[Persian Gulf]

it's a drone carrier

hopefully carries shahed-147 HALE drone for surveillance operations

i doubt shaged-147 can takeoff from such short distance

 

[Persian Gulf]

i doubt shaged-147 can takeoff from such short distance

hopefully we didn't build this to carry ababil-2 and mohajer-4

 

[Hack-Hook]

hopefully we didn't build this to carry ababil-2 and mohajer-4

hopefully , for this to work we need some jet powered drone , also the body must be designed so it can tolerate a certain amount of acceleration .
wonder if we have built a drone with an engine based on jahesh-700 or something newer based on that which we yet to unveil

beside that maybe Mohajer-6 or Ababil-5 for surveillance.

US carrier strike group consists of 1 aircraft carrier, 1 cruiser, 4 destroyers and 2 attack submarines.

And what about AWACS? US uses E-3 Sentry and E-2 Hawkeye for situational awareness. Maybe this?

Also AEGIS system?

It is not supposed to have the same role as the American group

To go where exactly? Most Iranian drones can take off the floating bases and for the Persian gulf use Kish or the islands to take off.

Where is this drone carrier going to deploy to? Off the coast of Syria? Israel?

I’m curious what the goal for this is. The floating bases make sense, they are cheap and can extend Iran’s reach where it lacks due to space based assets or long distance surveillance aircraft.

But this is a decent size commitment out of a historically conservative Navy.
