Well 1275 psi finished his Yamato model so maybe he built that frigate in his garage.

Just more scrap metal for the bottom of the gulf when it comes up against the F-35.

This is much more significant:

The F-35 is VTOL:

All this needs to be seen in the local context. Iran has to compete with her regional opponents, and it has the navy to do this reasonably well. The Persian Gulf is a horrible bit of ocean to try and operate in - there's a reason why the Iranian Navy love fast attack craft and mine warfare.

Yamato is soon to be joined by Kirishima, did that frigate over a weekend as a side job.............
