- I doubt that Iran will have anything like the Mk-65 (or Type 65) torpedo:
- this is a 650mm torpedo, and my sources indicate Kilos have only 533mm
- torpedo tubes. The Type 65 is supposed to have a 50-60 nm (that's
- nautical mile, not nanometer) range, while the best 533mm FUSSR torpedos
- have only about 1/5th that range. There are western 533mm torpedoes
- with ranges in the order of 25nm, but I strongly doubt that Iran could
- both acquire them and modify a Kilo to fire them (but this is just a
- slightly educated guess.)
