Report: Secret high tech torpedo from Russia transferred to Iran
A U.S. government report revealed last week that Russia provided Iran with secret high-technology related to a high-speed, rocket powered torpedo that Iran recently demonstrated.

The government-owned facilities connected to the Shkval development program had continuing contacts with Iran, and likely cooperated with illicit arms dealers to transfer the weapon or its documentation, the report said.
The report stated that published reports revealed that an international consulting firm called FarWest provided Iran with Shkval documents.
