Zafar (Persian: ظفر, lit. 'victory') or MIG-S-2600 is a class of fast patrol boat operated by the Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.[1]
According to the Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships, Iran purchased some Chaho-class fast attack crafts from North Korea in 1987.[2] The Shahid Joolaee Marine Industries of the Marine Industries Organization has built vessels similar to the class with a different superstructure and a raised mast in order to improve radar capabilities.[1] A 2007 report by the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies suggests that Iran has exported the vessel to Syria.[3]
