TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian homegrown military tank Karrar is ready to be in service, Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami said.
In an interview with Tasnim on Tuesday, the defense minister said Karrar is ready to be delivered to the Iranian armed forces.

Karrar, a class of Iranian tanks with modern technologies, was unveiled in March.

Iran’s former defense minister, Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan, had described Karrar as one of the most advanced tanks in the world that can fully satisfy the needs of the country’s armed forces.

The tank is equipped with an electro-optical fire control system, laser rangefinders, and a ballistic computer.

Iranian military experts and technicians have in recent years made great headways in manufacturing a broad range of indigenous equipment, making the armed forces self-sufficient in the arms sphere.

Is this an indigenously made from scratch or a t-72 modified? It somewhat similar to T-90. How many are in service now and what is the total number Iran's army is going to receive.

a modified version of T-72.

And about their exaggerations ... One of the most advanced tanks in the world ...

A big word ...

Maybe in next 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Years, we can build something like Sdkfz 222.

But now, even we can't build something like BMW r72.

If they don't waste our money for terrorists, we can build our army less than 10 years. But ... They don't want.

@Scorpion ,you've asked about numbers ?

Maybe one or 2 prototypes and then it would be cancelled like thousands other programs due to lack of money.

Because terrorists are much more important.

Anyway, even if it built in numbers, has no words to say against K2, Leopard, T 90 or Abrams.

At least 25 to 30 needed to damage a T 90. Maybe one or 2 survive battle.
