Design
Peykaap II is a modified version of North Korean IPS-16, manufactured by Iran.[2][3] It is slightly larger than Peykaap I class.[2]
Dimensions and machinery
The ships have an estimated standard displacement of 14 t (14 long tons).[2] The class design is 17.3 m (56 ft 9 in) long, would have a beam of 3.75 m (12 ft 4 in) and a draft of 0.7 m (2 ft 4 in).[2] It uses one surface piercing propeller, powered by two diesel engines.[2] This system was designed to provide 2,400 horsepower (1,800 kW) for an estimated top speed of 52 knots (96 km/h; 60 mph).[2]
Armament
Peykaap II crafts are equipped with two single anti-ship missile launchers with Kowsar or Nasr, which rely on internal guidance and active terminal homing to 38 kilometres (21 nmi) at 0.8 Mach, as well as two single 324 mm (12.8 in) torpedo tubes.[2][4] It is also compatible with Chinese C-701/FL-10 anti-ship missiles.[2]
