Yes, they are concentrating on mass producing Karrar. It being based on T-72S/B isn't bad, as it's just the hull which is adequate enough. Extra ammo is stored in a bustle with blowout panels, which decreases chance of ammo cook off and turret flying. Biggest problem is it's not known if Iran...

Good to see that soldiers conducting security in the country basically all get body armour. Would love if someone could give more info on the vests
Afaik this attack was carried out by Samad-3 suicide drones & Quds-2 cruise missiles
No, just same form factor for any VTOL drone. Also LOL at the FLIR ball that's probably too heavy for the drone & has no skids to stop it from smashing the ground
Almas is copy of Spike. And Spike is a better system to Javelin. It has superior attack arc (important against APS), and man in the loop capabilities. No need to copy Javelin. Also Dehlavieh seems to have basically entirely replaced Toophan in IRGC active duty units.
Dehlavieh is copy of...
Current Russian APFSDS can penetrate M1A2 frontal turret easily from 2-3km. Also, you'll rarely see tank battles happening beyond 2km, and even then it'll probably almost never be beyond 3km
Azeris don't have an air force, and their air defense force is hilariously small. An Iranian invasion...
Looks more like Coyote than switchblade. Tons of both were captured in Syria due to not detonating
while your point is right, Gaza & Kaman-22 don't appear to be copies
Won't enter service. Only tech demonstrator
This is from Artesh exercises like a month ago
Core
Correct they're T-55s. However they belong to the Basij not the IRGC-GF & are likely used in indirect fire roles
He's right, here's another pic
Yes, front turret is most important, but UFP (front hull) is also important, especially considering on Abrams there's been nothing but a 38mm steel plate added as armour over it's history
Soviet doctrine had nothing to do with low quality & high quantity. Infact the Object 187 destined to...
Their is literally no DU outside of the turret front. Hull has no form of DU. Only 5 Abrams ever made had DU in hull. Export versions have same composites too
No, American version only has DU in one part od turret
Hull sides are just normal ARAT ERA, which is hardly better than Kontakt-1...
That's more than enough for Abrams hull front & turret sides
Yet another good thread on Iranian infantry equipment from IranDefense. Very sad how they're equipped
I think this is actually the only post of any sort talking about how the average IRGC soldier is equipped lmao. Inshallah NEZAJA adopts Ruyin-2/3 like IRGC, FARAJA, & IRIN have
No, it's not. Thats Qaem-114 you're thinking of
No, the Iranian drones use multiple GNSS systems, foreign ones are used as backups on some models. Only extremely cheap ones like Shahed-131 fully rely on foreign GPS. Unlike the Turks, the Iranians make all their optics (Turks relied on foreign...
