Iran to unveil home-made tank
Iran will be unveiling its own domestically-made tank "Karrar"
in the coming days, a senior army commander said.
“Karrar will be unveiled within the next couple of days, and the
tank will soon enter into service of the Iranian army,” ILNA news
agency quoted Commander of the Iranian Army's Ground Forces
Brig-Gen Ahmad Reza Pourdastan as saying.
He further added that Iran plans to purchase the T-90 tanks from
Russia.
Over the past months Iranian military officials have made
contradictory remarks regarding the purchase of the T-90. While
some have suggested that the country is after home-made tanks,
others have said Iran is willing to purchase the Russia-made
tanks.
Some analysts suggest that the T-90 is more advanced in terms of
its penetration capacity, fire power, navigation technology, fire
control and guidance system, maneuverability, and sophisticated
electronics compared to the existing tanks in Iran’s arsenal.
