Iran has presented the first domestically designed and constructed Zagros (313) reconnaissance ship.

The state-run Fars News Agency reported on this.

It is presented as a reconnaissance destroyer, based on the original Mowj project, although in terms of size and armament, it is more like a light frigate or corvette.

The reconnaissance ship Zagros (313) was officially commissioned into the Iranian Navy the previous day, and the exact date was not disclosed.

The Iranian Navy classifies the ships of the Mowj project as destroyers. Their displacement is 1700 tons, length is 94.5 m, and width is 11.1 m. Most likely, the reconnaissance ship is built in the same dimensions.

According to the published video, the ship does not have weapons, but it does have protective domes for 360-degree antennas.

There is no information about the equipment of the reconnaissance ship, whether it is reconnaissance or technical equipment.

The Zagros (313) has a helicopter deck, which is more than enough to accommodate Bell 212 (AB-212) helicopters, and a full hangar, which was absent on the Mowj project ships.

The previous warship of the Mowj project, Deylaman (78), was officially commissioned into the Iranian Navy on November 27, 2023, in the port city of Bandar Anzali on the Caspian Sea.

Its artillery armament is a 76-mm Fajr-27 gun, an unlicensed copy of the Italian naval 76-mm OTO Melara. It also has a 30-mm Kamand cannon for self-defense against low-altitude air targets, two 20-mm cannons, and two 12.7-mm machine guns.

The ship is equipped with a Mehrab anti-aircraft missile system and Sayyad-3 missiles, with a declared range of 150 km.

In terms of anti-ship weapons, it has eight subsonic Qader anti-ship missiles with a range of about 200 km.
