Sicilianews24.it: Sotto osservazione le acque dello Sri Lanka dopo il naufragio della nave da guerra iraniana.

Il Affondamento della Nave IRIS Dena
Il 4 marzo, la fregata da guerra iraniana IRIS Dena è affondata a circa 40-50 miglia nautiche dalla costa sud di Galle, un importante punto di passaggio marittimo in Sri Lanka. Sulle navi inizialmente si trovavano almeno 180 persone, tutte in ritorno dall’International Fleet Review 2026, un’esercitazione navale svoltasi a Visakhapatnam, India, quando hanno lanciato un segnale di soccorso. Secondo quanto comunicato dalla Marina di Sri Lanka, almeno 90 corpi sono stati recuperati dai detriti dell’imbarcazione.
Il Segretario alla Difesa degli Stati Uniti, Pete Hegseth, ha confermato che una sottomarino americano ha affondato la nave iraniana in acque internazionali, definendo questo evento come il primo affondamento di un nemico ad opera di un sottomarino statunitense dalla Seconda guerra mondiale. Questo incidente solleva non solo questioni politiche, ma anche gravi preoccupazioni per l’ambiente marino della regione.

The waters of Sri Lanka are under observation following the sinking of the Iranian warship.

The Sinking of the IRIS Dena Warship
On March 4th, the Iranian warship IRIS Dena sank approximately 40-50 nautical miles off the south coast of Galle, a major maritime transit point in Sri Lanka. Initially aboard the ship were at least 180 people, all returning from the 2026 International Fleet Review, a naval exercise held in Visakhapatnam, India, when they launched a distress signal. According to the Sri Lanka Navy, at least 90 bodies have been recovered from the wreckage of the vessel.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth confirmed that an American submarine sank the Iranian ship in international waters, calling this event the first enemy ship sunk by a U.S. submarine since World War II. This incident raises not only political questions but also serious concerns about the marine environment of the region.

Agi: Iris Dena, il gioiello della Marina iraniana colpito da un siluro Mk48

AGI - Iris Dena, la nave affondata da un sottomarino americano al largo delle coste dello Sri Lanka, era un gioiello della Marina iraniana. Dalla Seconda Guerra Mondiale ci sono solo due precedenti: quello dell'incrociatore leggero argentino General Belgrano, colpito dal sottomarino nucleare inglese Conqueror nel 1982 durante la guerra delle Falkland, e quello della fregata indiana Khukri silurata dal sottomarino pakistano Hangor nella guerra del 1971.
La Dena era un cacciatorpediniere di classe Moudge della Flotta Meridionale della Marina militare della Repubblica islamica dell'Iran, ed era di ritorno dall'International Fleet Review 2026 a Visakapatanam, in India.
Caratteristiche e armamento della Dena
Era lunga 94 metri e disloca 1.500 tonnellate. Era il primo cacciatorpediniere iraniano a essere equipaggiato con quattro motori di fabbricazione iraniana, i "Bonyan 4" ed era armata con un numero "significativo" di missili e di un sistema di lancio verticale. Il suo apparato di controllo del tiro era teoricamente in grado di intercettare 40 bersagli e di scontrarsi con cinque bersagli simultaneamente.
Era equipaggiata con missili terra-aria e quattro missili antinave Qader, un cannone navale Fajr-27 da 76 mm e un cannone antiaereo Fath-40 da 40 mm, due Oerlikon da 20 mm, due mitragliatrici pesanti da 12,7 mm e due lanciasiluri tripli da 533 mm. Montava un radar Asr, con copertura a 360 gradi in un raggio di 300 km.
Il siluro Mk48
Il siluro che l'ha affondata è un Mk48 ad alte prestazioni che costa 3,5 milioni di dollari ed è in grado di colpire un obiettivo a 70 chilometri di distanza.

Iris Dena, the jewel of the Iranian Navy hit by an Mk48 torpedo.

AGI - Iris Dena, the ship sunk by an American submarine off the coast of Sri Lanka, was a jewel of the Iranian Navy. There have only been two previous cases since World War II: that of the Argentine light cruiser General Belgrano, struck by the British nuclear submarine Conqueror in 1982 during the Falkland War, and that of the Indian frigate Khukri torpedoed by the Pakistani submarine Hangor in 1971.

The Dena was a Moudge-class destroyer of the Southern Fleet of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy, and was returning from the 2026 International Fleet Review in Visakhapatnam, India.

Features and armament of the Dena

It was 94 meters long and had a displacement of 1,500 tons. It was the first Iranian destroyer to be equipped with four engines manufactured in Iran, the “Bonyan 4”, and was armed with a “significant” number of missiles and a vertical launch system. Its fire control system was theoretically capable of intercepting 40 targets and engaging five targets simultaneously.

It was equipped with surface-to-air missiles and four Seahawk anti-ship missiles, a 76 mm Fajr-27 naval gun, a 40 mm Fath-40 anti-aircraft gun, two 20 mm Oerlikon guns, two 12.7 mm heavy machine guns, and two triple 533 mm torpedo tubes. It mounted an Asr radar with 360-degree coverage within a range of 300 km.

The Mk48 Torpedo

The torpedo that sank it was a high-performance Mk48 costing $3.5 million and capable of striking a target at 70 kilometers.
