Iran showcases new Karrar main battle tank

On Sunday 12 March, the Iranian Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced that the Karrar main battle tank (MBT) entered full-scale production.

In a statement, the Iran’s Minister of Defence Brig. Gen. Hossein Dehqan said: “The tank can compete with the most advanced tanks in the world in three main areas: power, precision and mobility, as well as maintenance and durability on the battleground.”

Dehqan told local media (Fars News Agency) that the Karrar is “equipped with electro-optical fire control system, laser rangefinder, ballistic computer and enjoys the capability to fire at stable and mobile targets in day and night.”

The Iranian defence minister announced the Karrar MBT in February, stating that the Iranian Army would procure the domestically-built Karrar in lieu of importing the Russian T-90. Sputnik News reports that Iran had initially intended to procure the T-90SM.

I believe this is a required photo when discussing Iran tech. Not as good as their new fighter jet that had 5 Kenwood tape decks, but easier to find.

Isn't Iranian military propaganda written by the New York Slimes?
