Do you know what are those two ring(tubes) on Zulfaghar Tank? They look like spare tires. :rofl::omghaha:
BTW, it seems that those trucks are from Naser-aldin shah or Nader shah army. Why they don'y buy some new trucks for Artesh?
BTW, why tanks are always shown with Tank Transporter? I don't remember seeing Zulfaghar moving without Tank Transporter in a parade.:crazy:

In farsi:
Albatteh nazmeshoun ham ke eftezaah hast mesle hamisheh. Haddeaghal beran az kore shomali ya chin, yek rezhe raftan ra yaad begiran. :disagree:
 
dasteshun dard nakone, vali darim natije taahoud be jaye takhasos ro roz be roz bishtar mibinim.

Why did Iran not invest in their newer Tanks rather upgrading this specific model M-47 they may not survive the firepower.
 
So Iran is getting better at " Reverse Engineering ". That is great because that is the first step in development.
 
So let me start this way : there are 3 different 12.7 mm Gatling Guns in the world ;

1- Muharram 2- USA's GAU-19 3- Russian YAK-B model for Hind heli

Muharram , The only 6-barreled 12.7 mm Gatling Gun in the world , has the following characteristics :

Rate of fire : 2500 bullets per min

Range : like other 50 caliber guns , it has an optimum range of 1600-2000 meters and final range of up to 5000 .

=====================================

so for the ones who dont know what the heck is 12.7 mm bullets and how is it an advantage , i give u guys some info :

we all know that 7.62 mm bullets are used in guns like AK-47 and american minigun . so give u a perspective :

the right one is an standard 7.62 bullet used in the worldwide known minigun :

547775_402.jpg


the left one is obviously 12.7 mm bullet , used in both muharram and GAU-19 . anyway , 12.7 mm bullets can easily (like a piece of cake) penetrate and melt down vehicles like hummer

Download-military-wallpaper-us-army-hummer.jpg


while a hummer is most of the times equipped with a minigun , its range doesnt surpass that of 1000 meters , whereas iranian vehicles equipped with muharram can enjoy a final range of 5000 meters . besides that most of today's modern military vehicles are 100% resistant to 7.62 mm bullets .

===============================

comparison of Muharram to its foreign rivals :

1- Muharram Vs YAK-B : although yak enjoys very good features , its only capable of carrying very low amount of ammunition , due to its compact design (for Hind choppers ) :

547774_115.jpg


thus , cannot be very effective during a long combat , besides that there is the fact that its only designed for helicopters and cannot be mounted on ground vehicles . (how many Hinds can they produce ? )

2- Muharram Vs GAU-19 : GAU-19 is the closest rival to Muharram as a matter of fact .

it also uses 12.7 mm bullets so it enjoys the same range , BUT : :D

GAU-19 is 3-barrel gun , so compared to Muharram (6-barreled Gun) it enjoys significantly lower Rate of fire :

in A model its about 1000-2000 bullets per min , whereas in model B only 1300 !!!

i dont know why u think like that , no disrespect is followed my naming a gun after month's name ( very important to shia muslims like me )

When I think of Muharram, I think of Aashoora and Imam Hussain's sacrifice, even though he could have accepted God's offer to wipe out Yazeed's army in a second.

Anyway, the gun itself looks cool. Good job!
