Amidst tension with Israel, Iran has launched its mysterious aircraft carrier ‘Shahid Bagheri’ into the sea. Its satellite images have surfaced, in which it was seen off the coast of the Iranian naval port Bandar Abbas in the Persian Gulf. This ship used to be a container ship 24 years ago, but now it has been built for drones. Even America and Israel will be shocked to know its features. Iran has developed three ships. The first among these is ‘Shahid Bagheri’. While the second is ‘Shahid Roudaki’ and the third is ‘Shahid Mahdavi’. In the pictures taken by satellites, all three ships are visible in the Persian Gulf. ‘Shahid Bagheri’ is called ‘Forward Base Ship’. This shows how much Iran has progressed in terms of technology. Its design is special because it has an angle from where the drone can fly secretly. Its runway is very short, it seems that it has been made only for drones. Due to this, fighter planes cannot fly. Maxar Technologies has shared this satellite image. Why special for Iran: According to the Eurasian Times report, it was taken out from the Iran Shipyard and Offshore Industries (ISOICO) shipyard in late November, since then it has been traveling in the sea. Perhaps its trials are going on. Actually, Iran does not have any aircraft carrier yet. That is, there is no such system that Iran’s fighter planes can take off from the sea. Whereas Iran has been operating fighter jets and helicopters since the 70s. That is why it is special that in the event of an attack on Iran, the drones deployed here will directly attack the fighter planes of the enemy country and will not allow them to enter the country. This will increase Iran’s reach and influence. Iran has a stock of such drones, which can respond to enemy fighter jets in any situation. It has also given many drones to the countries of the Middle East. Iran has also given Shahed drones to Russia, which it used during the Ukraine war. According to experts, Shahid Bagheri’s design is such that helicopters and some small planes can also fly with it. There is a lot of difference between flying a drone from a jet and flying a drone from a warship. Drones flying from warships are quite accurate. Iran has also prepared ‘Shahid Mahdavi’ and ‘Shahid Roudaki’, who are seen in the picture. But it is not clear yet what their work will be. Some people are calling it a ship carrying goods.
