@Infoseepage @SoftwareTheron @WellsiteGeo The reason drug smugglers don't just switch to true subs is that they are a lot more expensive to operate. Their economics are such that they make more money with semi-submersibles even if they regularly get caught.

But Iran has a literal nation-state military budget. They have already spent a considerable amount of time, effort, and expertise on developing credible submarines.
