But why?

To repair destroyed tanks and get them operational and get them back to battlefield in much less time!
It will be dedicated to army needs and IRGC ground forces will not affect the process and will not take the army's share in wartime!

Syria is an example of how its that many tanks getting destroyed or disabled in one week by ATGM or other means and that would affect a certain front which makes armed groups advance and take over let's say several villages in one day or several days!

It's truly a strategic project!

But why?

I believe there are two reasons for that

1-Reduce reliance on MOD for major repairs and overhauls to save time and money for Army.

2-MOD Armor facilities(Doroud and Kolahdouz) will now concentrate on producing Karrar and most probably the new but not officially unveiled 8x8 APC, so they will be too busy to service Army armored vehicles.

But why?

I just read an article about the Israeli's doing the very same thing with their Merkava Tanks. Roughly 92% is produced by private companies in an effort to reduce the maintenance costs, state bureaucracy and create alot of job opportunities. This also encourages companies to R&D and produce innovative ideas based on their own design, which will eventually benefit the armed forces on the long run.

Nasr-Abad city (شهر نصرآباد)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasrabad,_Isfahan

Iran’s Army Ground Force نيروي زميني ارتش ايران launched a military exercise in central parts of the country on Wednesday to put into operation the latest homegrown weapons.

The war game, codenamed Beit ul-Muqaddas-29 بيت المقدس بيست و نه, is being held in NasrAbad region منطقه نصرآباد in the central province of Isfahan, with the participation of various units including the infantry, the armor units, the artillery, rapid reaction forces, elite commandos of the 65th Brigade, drone units as well as choppers from the Ground Force Airborne Unit.

The purpose of the exercise is to bring into operation the latest military equipment and weapons manufactured by the local experts.

The drill is held on the anniversary of liberation of Khorramshahr آزادسازي خرمشهر, a city in southwestern Iran which had been occupied by Iraq's Baathist army in the early 1980s.

The energy-rich city was recaptured by the Iranian armed forces on May 24, 1982.

Iran made IRGC rotary armed attack gyrocopter جایروکوپتر مسلح سپاه

Iran made IRGC rotary armed attack gyrocopter جایروکوپتر مسلح سپاه

very good guerilla tactic weapon
but very vulnerable to manpads, anti aircraft guns....
you have to suprise the enemy, unprepared he must be
but visible on radar, helicopters, fighter, uavs can shot it down
so which purpose would be best?
border patrol..

i compared stats with other gyrocopters, so the technical stats should be aproximately!

Speed ~ 160km/h-190km/h
range ~ 500-600km
service ceiling ~ 3.8km (Manpad range)
Rotax engine or other engines ~ 115PS
Payload around ~ 200kg

so i read a little bit about gyrocopters
in past they were used mainly for surveillance purpose
today no really military use, because helicopters doing the job
but im sure it has some military purpose in IRGC, mainly surveillance....

IRI's version of Meaning of

Iran made IRGC rotary armed attack gyrocopter جایروکوپتر مسلح سپاه

Why not create a drone out of this? Why making it a manned one?

You can't rely on unmanned weapons when the foe is electronically more superior.

Iranian Soldiers: Training

Monday, July 10, 2017
This is the first of a 3 part post on the Training, Structure and Equipment of Iranian soldiers on the battlefield.

Iran obviously has a conscription system that provides the bulk of troop numbers. It is thought out of NEJAZA's 350,000 active troops, about 110,000 are professional soldiers and the rest are conscripts.
Conscription in Iran lasts 24 months, quite a hefty time frame considering there is only 45 days of training. This is insufficient. After 45 days (6.5 weeks), a soldier is expected to shoot properly, handle and maintain a powerful G3 (chambered in the NATO 7.62 with high recoil), learn drills, use specialised equipment like machine guns/ATGMs/vehicles/artillery, know military doctrine (?), tactics (?), procedures (?).

Iranian Soldiers: Structure

Wednesday, July 12, 2017
This is the second of a 3 part post on the Training, Structure and Equipment of Iranian soldiers on the battlefield.

A German KSK Fireteam

To best make use of improved training and possibly equipment, Iranian Armed Forces should adopt a "fireteam" structure at the micro level. This typically consists of 4 men with varying roles.

In the British Armed Forces, a fireteam consists of:

• Team Leader: The NCO will carry an L85A2 rifle with an L17A2 underslung grenade launcher. Some units vary with one of the privates carrying the grenade launcher rather than the NCO.
• Rifleman: One private carries the L85A2 rifle.
• Automatic Rifleman: One private carries L110A1 light machine gun or L86A2 light support weapon.
• Designated Marksman: One private carries the L129A1 designated marksman rifle.
