(NSI News Source Info) TEHRAN, Iran - May 11, 2010: Iran's navy has successfully test-fired an anti-submarine torpedo on the fifth day of its military maneuvers in the 
country's southern waters.
The navy carried out successful drills aimed at tracking and targeting hostile submarines, Iranian military spokesman Rear Admiral Qasem Rostamabadi announced Sunday.
The torpedoes were fired from Iran's domestically-built destroyer, Jamaran -- a multi purpose warship that blends anti-submarine capabilities with defense systems against surface and air attacks.
Admiral Rostamabadi said the 1,420-ton destroyer, launched earlier this year, will be dispatched to the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean following the drills in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
The six-phase exercise backed by Iranian military's air and ground forces, dubbed Velayat 89, will continue for another three days.

TEHRAN, May 10 (Xinhua) -- A senior Army commander said Monday that Iran Air Force tested a series of new air-to-surface missiles on the sixth day of the army's war games in the Strait of Hormuz and northern Indian Ocean, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
Iran's navy started war games in the country's southern waters on Wednesday, the official IRNA news agency reported.
The new missiles were fired by the country's Phantom fighters and hit and destroyed the targets successfully, Lieutenant Commander of the Iranian Air Force for the war game General Seyed Mohammad Alawi said in an interview with Fars.
"The new missiles have been loaded onto the Army's fighter jets ... They had a fully successful performance today," Alawi was quoted as saying.
The new developments have boosted the capability of the Army's fighter jets in confronting naval targets, the commander said.
On Sunday, Alawi told Fars that the Iranian Army's Air Force has recently equipped its fighter jets with newly-developed sophisticated electronic warfare systems.
The Iranian army also exercised electronic eavesdropping by a special type of aircraft and also used sea patrol airplanes on the fifth day of the war games on Sunday, according to the report.
The Navy's military exercise dubbed "Velayat 89" is currently being conducted in the Strait of Hormuz, the Sea of Oman and northern part of Indian ocean.
Iran's navy commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said Monday that Iran's navy will conduct the military drill in six phases which will last eight days, the local satellite Press TV reported.
