Can Iranian submarines fight American aircraft carriers?

No! Because most of Iran's submarines are light conventionally powered submarines, they simply can't go far. And there are very few submarines that can go long distances, and it is very difficult to break through the submarine defense circle of US aircraft carriers.

But if the US-Iraq war breaks out and the US aircraft carrier sails into the Persian Gulf, it may be surrounded and annihilated by Iranian submarines. Because most places in the Persian Gulf are relatively shallow, they are not suitable for large-scale ** activities, but they are a good battlefield for Iranian mini-submarines. However, if there is a real war, the United States will not be stupid enough to send aircraft carriers into the Persian Gulf.

In that case, it will be able to attack the enemy's strength with its own shortcomings.

Impossible, his broken submarine. The United States has the strongest anti-submarine capabilities in the world. Anti-submarine patrol aircraft include P3C, long-range P8Anti-submarine aircraft of the aircraft carrier. ** anti-submarine systems, and anti-submarine ***.

It's okay to fight in a reasonable way; The problem is that the United States has eleven articles, not including the mothballed reserves. Without fighting a war of destruction. It's hard for any country to resist!

It's hard to say, it depends on the place of operation.

For example, if the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, the narrowest point is only 40 kilometers, and no matter which direction the submarine attacks from, the distance is only 20 kilometers, and the 200-kilometer defense circle of the US aircraft carrier is useless at all.

Possibly. After all, there have been precedents before for the Chinese Yuan-class to sneak into the anti-submarine network of American aircraft carriers.

But these are certainly suicidal.

<> "Iran's purely domestically produced submarines actually carry cruise missiles.

The Iranian Navy's new domestically produced "Fatah" class submarine ** appeared on the Internet, causing heated discussions. According to the Iranian military, the submarine was built entirely by Iran under the blockade of the United States, completely reliant on its own power, and has achieved 100 percent localization, and it can not only launch heavy torpedoes, high-speed supercavitating torpedoes, but also cruise missiles.

As a conventional submarine, Iran's "Fatah Potato Sect" submarine does perform well. Some analysts believe that from the analysis of submarines, Iran's submarine technology is also quite good, and this should not be good news for the United States, after all, those who want to support can't be supported, and those who want to hold back can't be supported. But for Iran, all the improvement of combat power is forced.

Let's first take a brief look at Iran's "Fatah Shuhe" submarine, it is reported that this is a conventional attack submarine, which was built in 2014 and joined the Iranian Navy in 2019, the Air France has an underwater speed of 14 knots, a displacement of about 600 tons, and can be equipped with 4 533 mm torpedo tubes, which can carry 8 mines or 6 torpedoes.

According to the Iranian side, the submarine uses silencing tile technology, which has greatly improved the underwater silence performance, and it can use the cover of complex noise on the seabed to approach enemy ships to carry out sneak attacks, and Iran may equip it with JASK-2 anti-ship cruise missiles.

In fact, all the best equipment research and development in Iran is completed under the blockade of the United States, which makes people think of a similar experience in China earlier.

For a country that longs for freedom and wants to have complete sovereignty, no matter how difficult it is, it is impossible to give in, and it is impossible to leave the path that should be followed and follow the route planned by other countries.

Therefore, you look at Iran, the fighter jets are self-developed, the tanks are self-developed, the submarines are self-developed, including the nuclear **, which makes the United States nervous the most, is also self-developed.

In fact, looking back, China has also come step by step in this way. Under the strong blockade of military powers, it is too difficult to increase military strength.

Once watching the show, Zhaozhong talked about the development of the Chinese Navy, and tears could not help but flow. At that time, maybe I was just holding back that energy and working hard to engage in research and development, and all the hardships and tiredness were counted. But it's progressive, it's improved, and it's really hard to look back at the road you've traveled.

<> "Iraqi Attack Oak Lang frigate equipped with Chinese anti-ship missiles.

Iran's Alvand-class frigates were built for the Iranian Navy in the late 60s of the last century by the British company Vospar. The Iranian Navy has three Arvand-class frigates: Alvand 71, which entered service in 1971, Alborz 72, which entered service in 1971, and Sabalan which reached 73, which entered service in 1972.

The ship has a full load displacement of 1,350 tons, a length of meters, a width of meters, a draft of meters, a maximum speed of 29 knots, and a cruising range of 3,200 nautical miles in 18 knots.

Built by the British, the ship is very similar to the British Type 21 frigate of the Pakistan Navy, with a longer deck and 114mm guns mounted on the foredeck. The short pyramidal mainmast is located behind the ship's amidships. A low, inclined chimney with gas turbine intakes on the left and right sides of the leading edge and an AWS-1 air-to-sea search radar antenna located in front of the chimney.

The rear deck is equipped with YJ-2 anti-ship missile launchers, LIMBO anti-submarine rocket launchers, and 35-mm 90 twin-mounted naval guns.

The main equipment of this class of ships is:

Missiles: 4 Chinese-made "Eagle Strike" YJ-2 (C-802) anti-ship missiles (2 twin mounts).

Artillery: 1 Vickers 114 mm (inch) 55MK8 naval gun, 2 Erkon 35 mm 90 twin guns, 3 Erkon GAM-B0120 mm guns, 2 mm machine guns.

Anti-submarine rocket: 1 unit 3-tube Limbo Mk 10 anti-submarine rocket launcher.

Decoys: 2 British MK5 jamming rocket launchers.

Electronic equipment for.

Fire control radar: 2 Kontraavs "Sea Hunter" fire control radar system Navigation: Deka 629 navigation radar system;

electronic warfare systems; DECCA RDL2AC electronic support system.

Although the ship is relatively old, it is equipped with C802 anti-ship missiles with a range of up to 120 kilometers made by China's Rusun, which can provide a major deterrent to the Strait of Hormuz, an oil transportation artery, with perfect air support. In December 2019, the modified Alborz was unveiled. The Alborz was refurbished and modernized, a new six-barreled 30-mm close-defense gun was installed in the stern, as well as several optoelectronic instruments for alerting, detecting and tracking targets.

Due to Western sanctions, its own shipbuilding capacity is also very limited, and the other two Alvand ships should also be refused, and the Alvand class, which has been in service for half a century, will continue to occupy an important position in the Iranian Navy.

<><China wants to build small nuclear submarines, which is so cheap that Iran can afford it

Nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers are called "power appraisers" by many military fans. The reason why I say this is because these two ** don't have a certain amount of financial resources to support. In addition, the technology content is too high, so many small countries are unable to aspire to it.

China has developed a cryogenic nuclear reactor. The reactor is smaller than existing reactors, so it can be installed on a small submarine with a displacement of 3,000 tons.

Once such a reactor is successfully developed, the miniaturization of nuclear submarines will no longer be a dream. It will also significantly reduce the cost of R&D and use of China's naval equipment. It will indeed change the pattern of naval warfare in the future.

First of all, conventional submarines and nuclear submarines with the same displacement, the former has only 60% of the speed of the latter, and the self-sustaining power is even more different.

Once a small nuclear submarine is successfully developed, conventional submarines will no longer have the meaning of existence. Because small nuclear submarines can not only provide a persistent threat, but also do what conventional submarines can.

In addition, small nuclear submarines can also perform many tasks that large nuclear submarines cannot perform, such as early coastal deterrence and in-depth reconnaissance of enemy territory, and large nuclear submarines are basically 10,000-ton displacement. Once in enemy territorial waters, the probability of being spotted is almost 100%. And the probability of a small nuclear submarine being discovered may be less than 50%, which is the meaning of the existence of small nuclear submarines in the future.

Of course, compared with concealment, the biggest advantage of this submarine is that the manufacturing cost is very low. According to the calculations of some experts, the cost of creating a small nuclear submarine with a displacement of 3,000 tons in China is about 300 million dollars. And the cost of a 10,000-ton nuclear submarine is around $1.5 billion!

The money to build a 10,000-ton nuclear submarine is enough to build 5 small nuclear submarines! Therefore, in the near future, we are likely to witness the beginning of the era of China's construction of nuclear submarines.

Although this kind of small nuclear submarine may not be equipped with too many submarine-launched ICBMs, and some may not even be equipped with one. But as long as there are enough of them, the deterrent effect is still very strong. In addition, for third world countries such as Iran and Syria, such small nuclear submarines are their dish.

Because they don't need submarines with a displacement of 10,000 tons, and they don't need nuclear submarines to launch expensive ICBMs. They only need their own submarines to launch cruise missiles with a range of 1000-2000 km. Because this range is enough to prevent the intervention of some countries.

Small nuclear submarines are more in line with the strategic needs of these countries, so once they appear, they are bound to be favored by these countries.

In a future deep-sea showdown, China's small nuclear submarines may use "wolf pack" tactics to encircle and suppress a 10,000-ton large nuclear submarine. Even if there is a gap in the combat power of the two sides, small nuclear submarines have a numerical advantage after all, and it is not difficult to destroy large nuclear submarines. Once there are more and more such encirclement and suppression, I am afraid that it will be time for large nuclear submarines to be eliminated.

The United States, the country with the most powerful military power in the world, has a very advanced anti-missile system. Under the protection of this system, it is very difficult for Iran to sink the US aircraft carrier. However, it is not entirely out of the ordinary.

So we need to be specific and analyze specific problems. There are probably two scenarios:

1.It is possible to sink

Many of Iran's missiles are purchased from other military powers, and they have a certain degree of advancement and threat. If a U.S. aircraft carrier enters Iran's coastal waters, there is a high possibility that the U.S. aircraft carrier will be hit or sunk. The entry of the US aircraft carrier into Iran means that the attack distance is very close, the attack can be taken by surprise, and the US military simply does not have time to react.

The anti-missile system of the American aircraft carrier was hit before it was activated.

So we found out that the US aircraft carriers did not dare to get too close to Iran every time, mainly in preparation for a surprise attack by Iran. The distance is far enough for the U.S. military to have enough time to react.

2.It is impossible to sink

If the US aircraft carrier is in the far sea, far enough away from Iran, there is no way for Iranian missiles to hit the US aircraft carrier. Despite Iran's deep pockets, it has not been able to buy the most advanced missiles. Given enough distance and reaction time for the US military, the US powerful anti-missile system will still be able to play a very big role, because it is, after all, the most advanced anti-missile system in the world.

We often find that US aircraft carriers, as long as they carry out missions abroad, will not be too close to land, so this is the most beneficial for their own security. When faced with an attack, you can respond calmly and will not fall into passivity. Therefore, as long as the US aircraft carrier does not underestimate the enemy, it will be difficult for Iran to sink the US aircraft carrier.

It's difficult, because the United States is a superpower, with strong military power and scientific and technological power.

There is certainly nothing possible, because the American anti-missile system is powerful and the intelligence is abundant.

Probably not, because the United States is an economic power, and its military strength is certainly not bad.

This is the psychological warfare between the two sides, if you dare to come, I will dare to follow, if you dare to fight, I will dare to return.

Although 30 Iranian ships are tailing, I don't think it's much use, they can't beat American aircraft carriers.

After all, this violates other people's territory, so you should send ** to follow.

What a powerful country the United States is, I believe that they will not be afraid of Iran either.

It is estimated that Iran is just putting on a show, and it cannot drive the United States out.

It is estimated that only Americans can do the violation of the territory of other countries.

The military power of the United States is also limited to Russia in the world.

Because the United States and Iran are still in a hostile position, this is also normal.

After the end of World War II, the United States quickly established its hegemony, and after the victory in the Cold War with the Soviet Union, the United States frantically built new nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and gained the right to speak at sea.

Behind the incomparably powerful military strength of the United States, the huge expenditure of more than 50 percent of the world's total military expenditure is actually maintained by a country's strong economy, and a country's economy depends on a perfect and rational system.

Iran has the ability to sink U.S. aircraft carriers because Iran has Chinese C802 anti-ship missiles, which are specialized in aircraft carriers, which is asymmetric warfare.

In the event of war, Iran is fully capable of sinking U.S. aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman using saturation attacks.

In real war, strategic considerations are often required, and superior firepower is generally not used to attack a target.

Iran's overall war capability is far from that of the United States, but the combat capability of missiles and speedboats is not weak.
