it's probably a propaganda piece, or attempt to modernize / rebuilt their M60A1 (the first Zulfiqar) or make new tank based on it which unsuccessful in the end.

This is not anything remotely close to T-90MS. More like the very first T-90 from 1993 with a welded turret. Not even that, because the Russian tank already had better gun and Kontakt-5 ERA. The closest to this would be Polish PT-91 M2A2 or Belarusian T-72BME (if it would get welded turret.) Both with faaaar better FCS tho. I mean 1200 HP? Seriously? T-72M4CZ obtained 1200 Perkins Condor CV12 the same that Brits have in their Challenger. And they still preferred to put it in lowered 1000HP version to not ruin the drive. Poles use 850HP and 1000HP in their tank but they supplied Iraq for the war in 1991 and were world wide exporter of T-series. Not home production of half made M and M1 in 200 pieces. More like 3000.

Any reliable information or images about armor composites? Imo its most important thing in tank chassis, as tanks get upgraded, armor inside generally stays the same
Well since it's a new welded turret with clear spaces for composite blocks I think it's pretty obvious, not really that difficult to make composite armor, your armor protection is directly proportional to the mass, depleted uranium, tungsten carbide and ceramics only reduce the size of the armor, not their weight.
I can send you some pics of the slots for composite armor in the new welded turret and a pic they released of the Karrar's composite layout. Where would you like me to send them?

It would be a turkey shoot. Remember the Iranians don't have any decent armour piercing ammo, the only thing it would destroy would be the Kuwaiti M-84 tanks. Also Iranian tankers are crap as well.
It probably wont do squat vs modern ammo but it could be some form of externally mounted coposite/ceramic armour. As I said, wont do much against modern rounds but added armour is still armour soo... Worth it?
It's quite a leap of faith to assume their armor is as good as the Russians. Nobody who has a tank with a Russian style carousel can be feeling too good about their tanks after what we've seen in Ukraine. 40k dollar ATGM and pop goes the turret.

According to its specifications on paper, the tank is considered excellent and constitutes an important addition to the Iranian ground forces, especially considering Iran’s aging fleet of main battle tanks... the Iranians have extensive experience in manufacturing and using chemical energy anti-armor projectiles or shaped charges (HEAT) with advanced performance data against the zionist entity latest generation main battle tank... this is why we assume that the explosive reactive armor (era) suits the tank is equipped with and the general Iranian reactive armor industry is considered very good... I believe that the tank is equipped with advanced multi-channel sighting systems, but we assume that it is either a license, or reverse engineering, or development based on Chinese off the shelf reconnaissance, surveillance and tracking complexes, and the performances levels that may reach 25 km... the tank suffers from some shortcomings, including but not limited to: 1- the tank’s inherited the same ammo storage of the t64/t72/t90 although it did placed some monitions on separate ammo storage site but the main storage remains in the bottom of the hull which make the tank very vulnerable to anti tank land mines and anti armor explosive devices, and by pairing the land mines and the ammo storage site (alongside the fully packed magazine with ammo and propellent) we can explain the footages emerging from the Ukrainian theaters of operation of huge explosions followed by a catastrophic destructions of the latest generation of the t90ms... 2- the tank is not equipped with a millimeter radar system, this would have given it an advanced organic early warning capabilities, against various air and ground hostilities (various weapons systems and ammunition), and with it would have allowed for improving the levels of the multi layered perception and awareness of the commander,In general, the millimeter radar system provides a visual capabilities superior to most multi-channel electro-optical sighting systems, even with a small or medium-sized antenna, but its drawbacks remain in the possibility of detecting the tank using ground radars from a long distance, in addition to the ability to painting the tank for various munitions especially tank guided ammo that riding that radar wave, the radar system could have been linked to the Iranian Integrated air defense network as one of their forefront subcomponents... 3-the tank is not equipped with an auxiliary multi-channel sighting device mounted on a retracted mast this will allow the tank commander to scouting and monitoring the battle field organically from a higher position and thus from longer distance, this capability could be issued to tank platoon commander...

It’s a lot easier to produce on license because they get all the blueprints and will learn how to make them/ be given help to spin up the first production line. Not to mention all the possible diplomatic troubles copying without license could cause.
Having Uralvagonzavod setting up a tank factory in Iran was probably a cheaper alternative to retroengineering captured tanks, building a pre-series production line and starting experimenting with making a few models in order to find and fix technical problems as well as finding the optimal efficiency/cost tradeoff in production.
@@patriotenfield3276 No. Iran manufactures T72-S under license and using the expertise they developed from two decades of churning them out at home, they branched out and built an entirely new one from scratch. It's already in service but it's merely the first iteration - I'm hearing that around 5 years down the line, they will rework optics and fire control system completely, then add in a new APFSDS into service to replace the "Mango" rounds in use.
Because it's really hard to reverse-engineer stuff. You can see the Vehicle A video here. It was a Yugoslav reverse-engineered T-34/85. It was awful because the designers had no idea what materials to use, nor was each tank the same. With production licences, the seller of the licence will provide blueprints, material specifications, advisory personnel and even tooling. Cheaper and easier than to start it all by your own.
It's about the doctrine and not about the tanks. The Russian tank crews could be driving the Armata or the Abrams and would still be losing but a T-72 in the right crew's hands is still deadly . Abrams tanks being destroyed in Iraq and Yemen prove my point.

the tank suffers from some shortcomings, including but not limited to:
1- the tank’s inherited the same ammo storage of the t64/t72/t90 although it did placed some monitions on separate ammo storage site but the main storage remains in the bottom of the hull which make the tank very vulnerable to anti tank land mines and anti armor explosive devices, and by pairing the land mines and the ammo storage site (alongside the fully packed magazine with ammo and propellent) we can explain the footages emerging from the Ukrainian theaters of operation of huge explosions followed by a catastrophic destructions of the latest generation of the t90ms...
2- the tank is not equipped with a millimeter radar system, this would have given it an advanced organic early warning capabilities, against various air and ground hostilities (various weapons systems and ammunition), and with it would have allowed for improving the levels of the multi layered perception and awareness of the commander,In general, the millimeter radar system provides a visual capabilities superior to most multi-channel electro-optical sighting systems, even with a small or medium-sized antenna, but its drawbacks remain in the possibility of detecting the tank using ground radars from a long distance, in addition to the ability to painting the tank for various munitions especially tank guided ammo that riding that radar wave, the radar system could have been linked to the Iranian Integrated air defense network as one of their forefront subcomponents...

So dumb question. Lol if they had a 100 T72 why didn’t they just copy it? Why get a license for it?
It’s a lot easier to produce on license because they get all the blueprints and will learn how to make them/ be given help to spin up the first production line. Not to mention all the possible diplomatic troubles copying without license could cause.
Having Uralvagonzavod setting up a tank factory in Iran was probably a cheaper alternative to retroengineering captured tanks, building a pre-series production line and starting experimenting with making a few models in order to find and fix technical problems as well as finding the optimal efficiency/cost tradeoff in production.
They did. or maybe the Russians themselves told the Iranians to knock out their (Russian) involvement out ...from the papers.
@@patriotenfield3276 No. Iran manufactures T72-S under license and using the expertise they developed from two decades of churning them out at home, they branched out and built an entirely new one from scratch.
It's already in service but it's merely the first iteration - I'm hearing that around 5 years down the line, they will rework optics and fire control system completely, then add in a new APFSDS into service to replace the "Mango" rounds in use.
Because it's really hard to reverse-engineer stuff. You can see the Vehicle A video here. It was a Yugoslav reverse-engineered T-34/85. It was awful because the designers had no idea what materials to use, nor was each tank the same.
With production licences, the seller of the licence will provide blueprints, material specifications, advisory personnel and even tooling. Cheaper and easier than to start it all by your own.
A cheaper upgrade of the T-72 than the T-90 is. And it will be about as effective as it is in Ukraine. Prepare for the launch of the turret 🤣🤣🤣
It's about the doctrine and not about the tanks. The Russian tank crews could be driving the Armata or the Abrams and would still be losing but a T-72 in the right crew's hands is still deadly . Abrams tanks being destroyed in Iraq and Yemen prove my point.
@@MikoyanGurevichMiG21 read on lousy training and downgraded versions not a good combination in combat. There are records of US version of the A1 getting stuck in Iraq and peppered from all sides by Iraqi troops and tanks. They survived without major damage while the export version like i said read. But like your name suggests the sun shines out of the USSRs arse and they produced only good things 🤣🤣🤣
@@jacksonteller1337 well, the constant use of the emojis suggest a lack of understanding and intelligence so I'm not going to talk further about your comment. My point literally agrees with what you said. The export or import versions make no difference if you stick incompetent crews in them,
@@MikoyanGurevichMiG21 you are the only one on here that doesn't understand. And mirroring your state of mind just tells me you are most likely another Russian with an IQ lower than my boot size. Enjoy your school junior you might actually learn something eventually come back when you have basic reading level or enjoy spending time in Ukraine using the Mosin Nagant as they are mobilising in December again.
Would love to see Iran's new tank get the Iraqi T-72 treatment, Hellfires, Mavericks, JDAM's and Abrams APFSDS.
Can you do serbian m-84as1/2?
Automatically launch smoke grenades... Yeah... totally won't mess up it's own crew, too
Perfect for warcrimes
*WHAT WARCRIMES*
This isn't the M1 Abrams
iran hasn't committed any

Let's not be silly here. Iran is not alone, we all are responsible, every single country will pay in the end.
@@JohnSmith-fd5un im not against iran trolling a bit its been a few hundred years since our last proper war crime
This tank does not exist, they bought one T 90 MS from Russia and there is always only one tank in the movies.
Iran is a funny country
A country under more than 1700 different sanctions more than any other country
T90M is better
