IRIS Dena was a ~1,500-ton Moudge-class frigate & let’s be clear about capabilities. This was a lightly equipped surface combatant with basic hull-mounted sonar, no towed array, limited ASW envelope, and certainly not designed to counter a modern nuclear attack submarine operating at advantage. If a Virginia-class submarine is...

There is a lot of confusion right now about the sinking of the Iranian warship IRIS Dena and the role of the United States submarine in this incident. So let’s understand what most likely happened. First, the attack took place in international waters near Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean. Second, the submarine involved was most likely a US nuclear powered attack submarine already operating somewhere in the Indian Ocean region. Many analysts believe it could have been operating from the broader operational area around Diego Garcia, a strategic military base used by the United States and the United Kingdom in the Indian Ocean. Unlike conventional submarines, nuclear submarines can stay underwater for months, because they do not need to surface for fuel. The only real limitation is food and crew endurance. So the submarine could easily remain in the region, quietly tracking naval movements. Now here is the timing part. The Iranian warship IRIS Dena had recently visited Visakhapatnam in India to participate in a multinational naval event hosted by the Indian Navy. After the exercise ended, the ship left Indian waters and began sailing west toward the Arabian Sea. If the submarine was tracking it, the most logical moment to strike would be after the ship left the exercise area and entered open international waters. That is when the torpedo strike reportedly happened near Sri Lanka. Now the next question people are asking is whether this was legal. Under the law of naval warfare, if two countries are in an armed conflict, a military vessel of the opposing side becomes a legitimate military target. Warships can be attacked even in international waters. In this case, the target was not a civilian vessel. It was a military warship of the Iranian navy. So from a naval warfare perspective, this kind of strike is generally considered permissible during active hostilities.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The first submarine kill on a warship in decades happened in silence A Virginia-class submarine tracked Iran's frigate IRIS Dena through the Indian Ocean using passive sonar. One Mark 48 torpedo at 50+ knots. Hit the stern. Ship gone in minutes. 180 crew aboard. Sri Lanka rescued 32 survivors. The sub was never seen, never heard, and slipped back into the deep before anyone knew what happened. This is the kind of warfare Iran has no answer for and no defense against. Source: Combat Wire YT

🚨 The Submarine That Was a Floating Underwater City Russia’s Typhoon-class nuclear submarine was the largest ever built. At 175 meters long and over 48,000 tons submerged, even two Boeing 747s stacked end to end wouldn’t match its length. Designed for long missions, it included crew living areas, a gym, and a swimming pool. Its double hull design increased survivability, even if the outer hull was damaged, the submarine could continue operating. Powered by two nuclear reactors producing around 190 MW each, it had virtually unlimited range and could surface through Arctic ice. All Typhoon-class submarines have now been decommissioned, with the last one, TK‑208 Dmitry Donskoy, retired in 2023. Plans are underway to convert it into a museum ship. A remarkable achievement in naval engineering, unmatched in size and ambition.

WATCH: Türkiye conducted live-fire demonstrations of three domestically developed naval weapons systems during the Sea Wolf-II/2026 exercise in the Antalya Gulf. It was the first time eight guided missiles and a torpedo were fired simultaneously in a single Turkish naval exercise segment, all against real decommissioned surface targets. The ATMACA anti-ship missile was fired from TCG Burgazada, an Ada-class corvette, striking a surface target 102 kilometers away. The target was destroyed. The sea-skimming missile uses indigenous INS/GPS guidance with a terminal seeker, and the demonstration validated its extended-range anti-surface capability in an Eastern Mediterranean setting. The AKYA heavyweight torpedo was fired from TCG Sakarya, a Preveze-class submarine, at a target 10 kilometers away. The torpedo split the target ship in half. It was the first live operational demonstration of Türkiye's indigenous heavyweight torpedo in a major fleet exercise. The HİSAR-D RF naval air defense missile was launched vertically from a MIDLAS system against an air target approaching at 555 km/h. The intercept was successful. The system uses an active RF seeker and dual-pulse motor and is part of Turkey's Çelik Kubbe, Steel Dome, layered naval air defense concept.

JUST IN: 🇨🇳 China is building five Type 055D destroyers at the same time Five advanced warships are reportedly under construction simultaneously at Dalian. And these are not ordinary destroyers. The Type 055D features phased array radar, a large vertical launch system and powerful air defense, anti ship and anti submarine capabilities. The class has also been linked to China’s growing ability to field the YJ-20 hypersonic anti ship missile. Five destroyers. One shipyard. A massive surge in naval firepower. China’s shipbuilding machine is turning naval expansion into an industrial scale operation.

Russia's Typhoon (Akula)-class nuclear submarine. This isn't just a submarine-it's a moving city beneath the ocean. At 175 meters long and over 48,000 tons submerged, it remains the largest submarine ever built. For perspective: even stacking two massive Boeing 747s wouldn't match its length. Inside, the Typhoon had a swimming pool, gym, and full crew living areas. Its enormous size was made possible by a double-hull design with two fully pressurized, parallel hulls-something no other submarine has matched at this scale. That double hull also gave it incredible survivability. Even if the outer hull was damaged, the submarine could continue its mission. Power came from two nuclear reactors, each producing around 190 MW of thermal power, giving it virtually unlimited range and enough strength to surface through Arctic ice.

A narrative of an unjust attack by the United States on the IRIS Dena warship in the Indian Ocean “Hamed Momeneh,” one of the sailors on the Dena warship: This vessel had been sent to the port of Visakhapatnam in India to take part in a naval exercise. While returning home, and as the ship was sailing in international waters of the Indian Ocean, it came under attack. It was around 3:00 to 3:30 a.m. when we were suddenly attacked—an attack that was completely against international maritime laws. It was not a war zone, and we had received no warning. The attack was carried out without warning by a submarine. When the first torpedo hit, all personnel were at their posts, and fortunately at that moment we had no casualties. There were 104 crew members on board, and no one left the ship. Everyone stood their ground until the end. If their aim had only been to damage the ship, they could have targeted other parts, but the main goal was to kill the crew. Even so, we stood firm to the end. For us, the Dena was like the soil of Iran, and leaving it had no meaning. The forces remained with the vessel until 11 pm, after which they were forced to swim for some distance in the ocean to reach areas near the coast of Sri Lanka.

First Combat Use of Underwater Kamikaze Drones: Russian Kilo class Submarine Disabled in Novorossiysk The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has carried out a special operation in the port of Novorossiysk, marking the first-ever combat use of underwater kamikaze drones. During the operation, SBU-operated Sub Sea Baby underwater drones struck a Russian Navy Project 636.3 submarine (Varshavyanka class; NATO designation: Kilo). The explosion caused critical damage, effectively disabling the vessel. The submarine was equipped with four Kalibr cruise missile launchers used by Russia for strikes against Ukrainian territory. The operation was conducted jointly by the SBU’s 13th Main Directorate of Military Counterintelligence and the Ukrainian Navy. A Varshavyanka-class submarine is estimated to cost around USD 400 million. Due to international sanctions, building a comparable submarine today could cost up to USD 500 million. This class is also known as the “Black Hole” because of its low acoustic signature and reduced sonar visibility. The submarine had been stationed in Novorossiysk after earlier Sea Baby surface-drone operations forced Russian naval assets to leave Sevastopol Bay in temporarily occupied Crimea.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇪🇺🇰🇵 NATO SUNK A RUSSIAN SHIP WITH A TORPEDO!? An investigation into the sinking of the cargo ship Ursa Major in 2024 in the Mediterranean Sea shows the ship was attacked! The Russian ship was carrying important cargo to North Korea, but it was sunk last year. According to the investigation, the ship was carrying two 45-tonne nuclear reactor covers for a nuclear icebreaker of the 10510 project being built. The ship departed from St. Petersburg and was heading to Vladivostok via the Mediterranean Sea. The official cargo included two 45-tonne nuclear reactor covers for a nuclear icebreaker and two German 380-tonne mobile port cranes Liebherr 420, which were to be installed in the port of Vladivostok. On December 22, explosions occurred on the ship, and on the 23rd, it sank. An inspection of the damage showed a hole in the hull with a deformation of the metal inward, which indicates a hit from the outside, not an internal explosion. The investigation suggests that armor-piercing torpedoes were used. -> Who is able to sink ships with torpedoes off the coast of Spain? The answer is simple. The crew was rescued by Spain and the captain of the ship was interrogated there. 1/

"Fascism is a moment in the history of the middle-class, a means by which the middle-class protects itself from the working class." --- Bernardo Bertolucci on 'The Conformist' (1970) Full Excerpt: "'The Conformist' (1970) is first a film about the bourgeoisie, the middle-class, not about fascism. I was speaking about the middle class, and fascism is a moment in the history of the middle-class, a means by which the middle-class protects itself from the working class. Whenever the working class is coming up, up, up, at this moment fascism makes its appearance. In the film there is a fascist and an anti-fascist, but the Professor in Paris, the anti-fascist, is also from the middle-class. We have two faces of the same coin, of the middle-class. One face is fascism, the other is anti-fascism, but not a Marxist anti-fascism, just an idealism. Because he is also in the middle-class, my anti-fascist is not a hero, not a positive man."

When the US glide bomb struck the IRIS Shahid Sayyad Shirazi near Qeshm Island on March 4, the impact triggered an involuntary event that nobody in the coverage has fully examined: the stricken corvette spontaneously launched one of its own anti-ship missiles. The weapon fired itself. Not as a last act of defiance from a crew executing a terminal order. The structural damage from the strike activated the launch sequence without human input. That detail is the most technically significant event in the naval dimension of this war. The Shahid Sayyad Shirazi is the third vessel of the Soleimani-class, the IRGC Navy’s most advanced surface combatant. Pennant FS313-03. Commissioned February 2024. The class was Iran’s answer to the problem of contested littoral warfare in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz: a wave-piercing catamaran hull approximately 65 to 68 meters in length, composite construction designed to reduce radar cross-section, four indigenous diesel engines producing confirmed speeds of 32 knots with promotional claims reaching 45, and an armament package that makes every other ship in its weight class irrelevant by comparison. Six anti-ship cruise missiles of the Noor, Ghadir, or Nasir class on deck launchers. A vertical launch system carrying between six and sixteen Sayad surface-to-air missiles plus additional cells for Abu-Mahdi long-range cruise missiles. Six 20-millimeter Gatling guns. A helipad for a medium combat helicopter. Capacity to deploy three fast-attack boats simultaneously. On a 600-tonne displacement hull. Iran built this ship specifically for the Hormuz chokepoint. The catamaran design provides speed and stability in the confined, shallow waters of the Gulf that a conventional monohull cannot match. The composite hull reduces the radar signature that adversaries need to acquire targeting solutions. The VLS integration gives a vessel of this size a defensive envelope against air attack that most navies reserve for ships four times the displacement. The speed and fast-boat deployment capacity fit exactly into the IRGC Navy’s doctrine of saturation from multiple simultaneous vectors. A US aircraft dropped a single glide bomb. The ship caught fire. It spontaneously launched a missile. CENTCOM confirmed the strike. Multiple cameras captured the burning hull offshore Qeshm Island with smoke rising through the Strait of Hormuz. The spontaneous missile launch is the detail that defines the engagement. A VLS or deck-launched anti-ship missile under normal conditions requires crew input, targeting data, and deliberate firing authorization. When a strike disrupts the electrical and structural integrity of the vessel sufficiently to trigger an unintended launch, the weapon system designed to protect the ship becomes a hazard launched into the Strait of Hormuz at whatever bearing the launcher happened to be pointing. Every tanker, patrol boat, or allied vessel within the weapon’s acquisition envelope during those seconds faced a missile fired by a ship that no longer had a crew in control of it. No second-order casualties were reported from the spontaneous launch. The missile either failed to acquire a target, impacted water, or flew a trajectory that missed occupied vessels. The outcome was fortunate. The mechanism was not controllable. Iran commissioned this ship fourteen months ago. It was designed to be their most dangerous surface unit in the world’s most contested waterway. It fired its own weapon at the waterway it was built to control before going down.

The statement from U.S. Central Command is very enlightening. Instead of conducting a boarding, USS Spruance warned Touska for 6 hours it was in violation of the blockade. It is not clear if the ship was suppose to divert or stop to be boarded. The ship continued toward Iran and crossed the blockade line from the Arabian Sea to the Gulf of Oman. When Touska refused to comply, Spruance moved off from the ship, sent a warning to abandon the engine room and then proceeded to fire with its 5 inch/Mk 45. The gunfire either disabled the machinery or the crew brought the ship to a stop. Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit then conducted a boarding and seized the ship. It is surprising to see that the ship was fired upon and not boarded via helicopters as was done against Venezuelan tankers earlier this year. It is unclear what damage was inflicted to the ship, but it is showing Not Under Command on its AIS. More to follow.

🚨🇷🇺 NATO IN PANIC: RUSSIA’S FIRST ZIRCON-ARMED NUCLEAR SUBMARINE IS ENTERING SERVICE Russia’s Project 885M nuclear submarine Perm is expected to complete trials and join the Navy before the end of 2026. It will be Russia’s first multipurpose nuclear submarine built from the outset to carry Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles as standard armament. 🔸 The Yasen-M combines the concealment and endurance of a nuclear-powered attack submarine with Russia’s most advanced naval strike weapons. Its arsenal includes Zircon, Kalibr and Oniks missiles for attacks against warships and targets deep inland. 🔸 The submarine has a submerged displacement of around 13,800 tonnes, reaches 31 knots underwater, can dive to 520 metres and remain at sea for up to 100 days. 🔸 Zircon reaches speeds of around Mach 9 and can strike sea and land targets at ranges exceeding 1,000 km. Its speed leaves defending forces only minutes to detect the launch, identify the target and attempt an interception. 🔸 The missile has already been successfully launched from beneath the surface, but Perm turns that tested capability into the standard armament of an operational submarine rather than a launch from an adapted trial platform. 🔸 Surface ships carrying hypersonic missiles can be tracked by satellites, aircraft and patrol vessels. A Yasen-M can remain hidden beneath the ocean, change its firing position and attack from an unexpected direction. 🔸 The same submarine can hunt carrier groups and other major warships while holding naval bases, ports, command centres and infrastructure on land at risk. Finding Perm will be NATO’s first problem. Stopping its missiles after launch will be the second — and at Mach 9, the alliance may have only minutes to solve it. Does NATO have an answer to a Mach 9 missile launched from beneath the ocean?

🇩🇪 Nuclear submarine commanders train their entire careers to remain invisible. This helicopter exists to find them. The NH90 Sea Tiger is Germany's new naval helicopter and it hunts submarines using 3 simultaneous methods: 1. 360-degree radar and infrared cameras scanning the surface for periscope exposure 2. ⁠Active dipping sonar lowered on a cable that bounces acoustic pulses off metal hulls underwater 3. ⁠Sonobuoys, a deployable grid of floating microphones that listen for reactor hum and propeller vibrations Onboard computers use this data to calculate the submarine's exact depth, speed, and heading, then the helicopter launches a lightweight torpedo that continues the hunt autonomously. Submarines have historically been a weapons system that required either another submarine or a dedicated warship to neutralize. The Sea Tiger changes that calculus by putting submarine-killing capability into a helicopter that can be deployed from almost any naval vessel. Nowhere to hide in modern warfare, the tech has gotten too good. Source: Defence Dec YT0

Pete Hegseth. Pentagon. Today. “The Iranian Air Force is no more. Built for 1996. Destroyed in 2026.” “The Iranian Navy rests at the bottom of the Persian Gulf. Combat ineffective, decimated, destroyed, defeated. Pick your adjective.” “An American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo. Quiet death. The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War Two.” “Last night we sunk their prize ship, the Soleimani. Looks like POTUS got him twice.” “The leader of the unit that attempted to assassinate President Trump has been hunted down and killed.” “This was never meant to be a fair fight. And it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they are down — which is exactly how it should be.” “Iran’s capabilities are evaporating by the hour while US strength grows fiercer, smarter, and more dominant.” “America is winning. Decisively. And without mercy.” 🇺🇸 #OperationEpicFury #USMilitary #Iran

Parsi: There is no doubt that we have now, after 20 years of hearing from the hawks, that the only solution is to go to war, we tried it. One third of the U.S. Navy was there in the region. This was not a small operation. This was a major operation short of an actual invasion, and it failed. There is just no doubt that the military operation was not a success. And hopefully, at a minimum, we will not be having that debate again. It has now been settled. It's no longer a theoretical or academic topic. It has been tried, proven to be a failure.

🚨 BREAKING: U.S. STRIKES IRAN’S DRONE CARRIER IN MAJOR NAVAL BLOW In a dramatic escalation of the war, U.S. Central Command has released infrared footage showing precision strikes on IRIS Shahid Bagheri, Iran’s flagship drone carrier. The vessel — a converted container ship designed to launch swarms of attack drones — was set ablaze during the strike, according to CENTCOM commanders. The Shahid Bagheri, commissioned in 2025, features a roughly 180-meter flight deck for UAV operations and was intended to extend Iran’s drone warfare capability far beyond its coastline. U.S. officials say the attack is part of the broader campaign targeting Iran’s naval forces and missile infrastructure under Operation Epic Fury. CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper said the ship — roughly the size of a World War II–era aircraft carrier — was struck and “is now on fire.” The strike marks one of the largest blows yet to Iran’s maritime capabilities, as U.S. forces continue operations aimed at dismantling Tehran’s naval and drone warfare capacity.

BREAKING: 🇨🇳 Chinese media has claimed that the Type 055 Renhai-class destroyer is capable of mission-killing high-value naval targets, including U.S. aircraft carriers, using YJ-21 hypersonic anti-ship missiles. The Type 055, among the largest and most heavily armed surface combatants in service today, is widely viewed as a cruiser-level platform, combining advanced sensors, long range air defense, and strike capabilities designed for high intensity naval warfare. Analysts note the claims are part of strategic messaging and deterrence signaling, aimed at influencing how the U.S. and regional navies, including Australia, assess risk in the Indo Pacific. No engagement, just a message, and it’s being heard.

If confirmed, this would be the first documented use of submersible strike drones against a docked submarine. According to Ukrainian reporting, the attack employed a new “Sub Sea Baby” system, an underwater evolution of earlier surface maritime drones. The Varshavyanka class, known to NATO as the Improved Kilo, is among Russia’s most capable diesel-electric submarines and a frequent launch platform for Kalibr cruise missiles used against Ukrainian cities. Russia denies damage, claiming the underwater vehicle detonated against a pier. Ukrainian-released footage shows a large underwater explosion adjacent to moored warships. Independent reporting confirms a detonation inside the harbor, though the extent of damage remains unverified. The strategic implication is clear. Novorossiysk was selected as a fallback base after Ukrainian surface drone operations forced Russia’s Black Sea Fleet out of Sevastopol and other Crimean peninsula ports. An underwater strike inside that harbor signals that relocation alone does not restore sanctuary. Port defenses appear increasingly inadequate against low-signature, expendable systems designed for confined maritime environments. A single Varshavyanka-class submarine is typically valued at $400–500 million. Ukraine’s maritime drones cost a fraction of that. Even without confirmed destruction, forcing submarines to remain in port degrades Russia’s strike capacity and shifts operational pressure.
