항공모함 이란, 드론항모 취역

[위종민]

지난 2월 6일 목요일 이란 남부 반다르 압바스에서 신형 드론 및 헬기항모 Shahid Bahman Bagehri 함이 취역했네요. 

이란 혁명수비대 해군 사령관인 알리레자 탕시리 제독의 연설에 의하면 항속거리가 22,000해리에 달해 오랜 기간 동안 재급유 없이 원해에서 활동이 가능하다고 합니다. 

자세한 정보는 많지 않지만 단/중거리 방공 시스템, ESM 및 SIGINT 장비를 갖추고 있고, 탕시리 제독의 발언에 따르면 UUV도 배치 및 운용이 가능하다고 합니다. 

이 배는 2022년~2024년에 걸쳐 컨테이너선이었던 상선 페라린호를 개조해 건조했으며, 스키점프대가 장착된 활주로 길이는 180m, 전장은 240m, 배수량은 4만톤 이상이며 MAN B&W Type 8 S70 MC-C 디젤엔진으로 구동되며 최고속도는 20노트 이상이라고 합니다. 헬기 2대(?)와 수량 미상의 드론을 비행갑판에 적재할 수 있네요. 

모체였던 컨테이너선 페라린호는 2000년에 현대중공업에서 건조된 배네요. 전장은 240m, 전폭이 32m였고, 엔진은 B&W 8K90MC, 엔진출력은 20,000kW(26,820hp)이었습니다. 전장이 길어지거나 짧아지지 않았고, 함교 위치도 컨테이너선의 선교와 동일하게 뒤로 빠져있는 데다가 엔진 타입명도 유사한 걸로 봐선 동력계통도 안 바뀌었을 가능성도 있을 듯 한데 겉모습만 그럴듯하게 꾸민 허장성세용 군함일 수도 있겠습니다. 어쩌면 Naval News에서 확인 안 거치고 상선 시절의 데이타를 그대로 적었을 수도 있습니다만. 

어쨌건 미국이나 유럽에서 현대중공업에 설계도나 기술자료 요청해서 가져갈 수도 있겠네요 ㅋㅋㅋ

He said the addition of the vessel to the IRGC Navy fleet is a significant step in enhancing the defensive capabilities and deterrence of the Islamic Republic of Iran in distant waters and in safeguarding the nation’s national interests.

The Martyr Baqeri drone carrier is capable of carrying several squadrons of unmanned aerial vehicles, launching and landing unmanned fighter jets, deploying various reconnaissance and combat drones, launching and recovering various light and fast combat vessels, as well as carrying and deploying various combat and support helicopters, he said.

The commander added that the vessel serves as a mobile maritime platform for conducting drone and helicopter missions across the oceans.

Its ability to navigate in seas up to force 9 (oceans) and an operational range of 22,000 nautical miles (offshore) enables it to operate and conduct missions for up to a year without needing to refuel in distant waters, he noted.

The Martyr Baqeri Drone Carrier features a 180-meter-long runway and is equipped with facilities for fueling and refueling drones, marine vessels, and helicopters, short and medium-range air defense systems, intelligence and control tower equipment, capabilities for carrying and deploying various types of drones, guided submersibles, the ability to detect all sorts of electronic signals, comprehensive electronic warfare capabilities, long-range surface guns and weapons, long-range surface cruise missiles, and the capability to counter various small drones and air defense missiles, Rear Admiral Tangsiri said.

According to Iranian media, the new carrier has been delivered to the naval fleet of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in a ceremony held in Bandar Abbas. The event was attended by the Commander of the IRGC Navy, Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri. The carrier, which is based on a converted commercial vessel, underwent a transformation over a period of approximately two years to become a multi-purpose naval platform.

Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri revealed some information about the Shahid Bahman Bagheri carrier during his speech on the occassion. “An operational range of 22,000 nautical miles enables the carrier to conduct missions for a whole year in distant waters without the need to refuel,” he stated.

According to limited open-source information, the carrier is capable of deploying various types of small unmanned aerial vehicles and air defense missiles. It is reportedly equipped with short- and medium-range air defense systems, intelligence-gathering equipment, and a flight control tower. In addition to featuring ESM and SIGINT capabilities, Admiral Tangsiri stated at the ceremony that the carrier can also deploy and operate “guided [read uncrewed] subsurface vessels”.

About Shahid Bahman Bagheri

The Shahid Bahman Bagheri is actually a converted contrainer ship (the Perarin, converted between 2022 and 2024). It is probably named in honor of Shahid (martyr) Bahman Bagheri, IRGC commander who died in Pathak, Iraq, during the Iran-Iraq war. The “drone carrier” features an approximately 180-meter runway designed for the takeoff and landing of unmanned aerial systems. Notably, it is equipped with a ski-jump, to support the launch of the UAVs. The carrier has a length of around 240 meters with a displacement of more than 40.000 tons. It is powered by a MAN B&W Type 8 S70 MC-C diesel engine, delivering a top speed of more than 20 knots. The carrier can deploy two helicopters and an unknown number of UAVs on deck.

Footage released by Iranian media showed the takeoff and landing of Qaher-313 UAVs. The video suggested that the UAVs were powered by a turbofan engine, likely the Jahesh-700. While official specifications were not disclosed, the drones appeare relatively small and were able to stop within a short distance on the carrier’s runway during landing. Notably, no visible arresting gear equipment was observed. Similar looking, but much larger UAVs are present on the flight deck.
