Don’t those already exist? They’re called torpedoes...

The USN has been suicide attack aware since WWII. In this case, they have created surface fast attack drone boats:

They are also developing torpedo-like submarine drones, and no doubt are highly aware of the mini-sub threat, especially after the sinking of the South Korean Cheonan.

Didn’t do the Japanese any good on Dec 7th or the rest of WWII when they tried using them.

..... LoL ..... Mini Explosive Submarines ..... I think we call those varmints. Torpedos here in the good old U. S. of A!!!

The drug cartels build mini-subs from fiberglass, and ship tons of dope from South America to North America. Very hard to detect.

Imagine 10,000 lbs of HE instead of cocaine in a stealthy semisubmersable! The Iranians are taking a page from an existing technology.
