(Tehran) On Sunday 12th March, the Iranian Ministry of Defence (MoD)
announced that their latest Main Battle Tank (MBT) -the Karrar -had entered
full-scale production. In a statement, the Iran’s Minister of Defence Brig.
Gen. Hossein Dehqan said:
“The tank can compete with the most advanced tanks in the world It is “equipped with electro-optical fire control system, laser rangefinder, ballistic computer and enjoys the capability to fire at stable and mobile targets in day and night.”
The Iranian defence minister announced the Karrar MBT in
February, stating that the Iranian Army would procure the domestically-built
Karrar in lieu of importing the Russian T-90.
