The Gulf is a missile shooting alley. So, the noise the Ghadir may (or may not) produce by its engine, may not be that important, if it's intended prey are tankers, and shipping routes it tries to mine. |
Well the Ghaidrs and the new Patrol Boats they have been showing as great achievements of Iran are
not Iranian, they are North Korean- disassembled and shipped to Iran where they are put back together.
Passive noise is a very large problem. Don't forget we can conduct our own mining operations with CAPTOR- which utilizes a passive sensor to detect its targets before attacking.
