A fleet of suicide ships is being built by naval commanders in Iran.

More than 9,000 speedboats have been made with deadly explosives engineered into their hulls.

The vessels - to patrol the Persian Gulf where UK forces operate - will be piloted by extremist "martyrs".

They can be rammed into the side of "enemy" ships and each carries enough explosives to rip a seven-metre hole in a boat's keel.

Around 30,000 kamikaze captains are being trained to steer the ships, a source claimed.

There are plans to build 15,000 of the six-metre vessels. Their C4 explosives go off when rammed into larger ships.

An Iranian defector asked to design the crafts revealed the secret plot after fleeing the country - led by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The ex-military engineer, said: "They wanted me to help build a vast fleet of suicide boats. It's shocking. That amount of explosives is deadly. I love Iran and that's why I'm revealing this. No one in Iran wants a war."

A US vessel was attacked by a suicide boat in 2000, killing 17, in Yemen.
 
why 15000 suicide boats, why not built two to three, frigates or destroyers?

as usual useless rant by western media.
and a bait taken by west from the so called iran defector, now i am sure he'll get asylum.
 
I actually think this will be a very effective counter. In a US military exercise simulating an attack in the Persian gulf 70% of a US fleet was sunk by suicide boat, plane and simple cruise missiles.
