Hopefully someone waiting just outside territorial waters for them to try and leave....

​​​​​​​Iranian landing ship in reported in Kochi with "engine problems."

Indian Navy photo.



​​​​​​​IRIS Lavan (514) a Hengam class landing ship is now the second Iranian ship to seek shelter in Neutral countries over the past 48 hours.

This ship in particular is one of Iran's 2022 Drone Carrier Division with demonstrated use and operation of launching OWA-UAVS such as the Shahed-136.

With this ship currently docked in Kochi for "engine problems" it is currently within striking range of Diego Garcia if it is carrying Shahed-136 or the Arash-2.

It is likely the ship is capable of carrying up to 50 drones.
