We tried but no-one wanted it.

During a visit to Iran, DPRK bigwig Kim announced that NKorea will deliver 4 unspecified midget subs to Iran this year. My guess is P-4 type. Also possibly one recently retired “medium sized submarine” – my guess a Sang-O.

North Korea has agreed to supply four mini-submarines to Iran by mid-July, raising the level of alert in neighboring countries, a diplomatic source said Wednesday.
The agreement was reached when North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Yong Il made a visit to Iran in May, the source familiar with relations between Tehran and Pyongyang told Kyodo News.

The arms deal was part of North Korea’s repaying debts owed to Iran, amounting to several hundred million dollars, the source said.

Details about the deal such as specific types of the submarines and ways to transport them were not available.

“During the visit of Kim Yong Il in Iran, it was agreed that North Korea would deliver 4 mini-submarines to Iran within the next two months, not later than July 15 this year,” the source said.

The source raised concerns that Iran may mobilize the North Korean-made submarines near the Strait of Hormuz and may pose threats to naval vessels deployed by the United States.

During his stay in Iran, Kim met with senior officials, including Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki and First Vice President Parviz Davudi, the source said.

In addition, Kim also promised to consider supplying a midsize submarine retired by the North Korean navy a year and a half ago, according to the source.

Moreover, two senior officials of a company affiliated with the North Korean military also gave detailed descriptions of arms that could be immediately supplied, such as antitank missiles, and a senior official of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard was present.

Meanwhile, North Korea and Iran are believed to have cooperative ties in the military sector with Pyongyang exporting components related to ballistic missiles to Iran since 1980s and Tehran passing data on missile tests to North Korea.

I haven’t heard anything. Even if something so much as a rifle shot had been fired between ships, it should have been on the news. I don’t see anything.

Anything I’ve heard that might be remotely related is the news that the PKX-A, the first of the next-generation fast-attack missile boats, will be named Yoon Young Ha. The official news was released yesterday.

This is a significant statement against North Korea. Lt. Commander Yoon Young Ha was the commander of the Chamsuri-357, which was involved in the naval engagement 5 years ago. He and 5 others lost their lives in the engagement when the Chamsuri 357 was sunk.

PKX-A will be launched in the 28th of this month, a day before the 5th anniversary of the West Sea engagement with the families of the fallen in attendance.

Any images or specs for the PKX-As?

Is that the new midget submarine?:confused:
