  • The Iranian missile boat Paykan (Persian: Ł¾ŁŠŚ©Ų§Ł†) is an Iranian-made Sina-class fast attack craft. The Sina class is nearly identical to the Kaman class and Paykan and Joshan are both often referred to as members of the Kaman class.


    Design


    Paykan was Iran's first self-made missile boat and is equipped with two or four C802 SSM anti-ship missiles, one Fajr-27 76 mm dual-purpose gun and one 40 mm anti-aircraft gun.
    Paykan was built in memory of the original Paykan, that sank three Iraqi Navy Osa II boats in 1980 during Operation Morvarid, it also has the same pennant number as the original one.
