The destroyer is expected to bolster the naval capabilities of the Islamic Republic in the Caspian Sea when the vessel enters into service.
A new Iranian warship that is expected to hit the seas in the near future will be equipped with hypersonic missiles, Commander of the Iranian Navy Rear Admiral Shahram Irani has reportedly told local media.
On Monday, Irani announced that the domestically-produced Jamaran-class destroyer Damavand-2 is going to be outfitted with both "defensive and offensive missiles."

"All defensive equipment installed on Damavand-2 destroyer is completely up-to-date," the rear admiral was quoted as saying.

Irani also noted that "all the equipment installed on all other destroyers will be updated over time."
Davamand-2 is reportedly expected to be deployed in the Caspian Sea in order to bolster the Iranian Navy’s northern fleet.
