The sights on that are either Selex Turms-TM or Chinese WS-9 ( but from aperture system it is cearly a Selex Turms which is logical since they have had their hands on TURMS in Syria mounted on Syrian T72's).

The presentation ceremony was held in Tehran in the presence of the Minister of Defense and Logistics of the Armed Forces of Iran, General Hossein Dehgan, and it was also stated that the batch production begins at the industrial complex of Bani-Hashem near the town of Dorud in the province of Lorestan.

Karrar tank itself seems to be a modernized version of the T-72. Actually a tank factory near the city of Dorud was built with the help of Russia in the 1990s. For the release of licensed T-72S with the help of components supplied from Russia.

Iran Army Beit Al Muqaddas 29 Wargame, NasrAbad region رزمايش بيت المقدس بيست و نه ارتش ايران


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.

Well done to all Iranian engineers . The fact that they have gone ahead with tank design means that they already have thought about protecting them from the air . Or effective air force . There is not much you can do with basic tank design . You can not change it . Once you decide on the concept of using a tractor to carry guns ( ww1 ) . I can say about this tank :

( 1 ) I like the machine gun on top . Remote control . But smaller calibre 7.62 anti-personnel is better . Barrel life longer . And all vehicles now are armoured . You need tank round to destroy them . Anti helicopter round ( missile ) can be fired by tank main gun also , with much longer range .The machine gun barrel is not water cooled . It needs to be . For continious firing . More rounds to be fed by flexible belt from inside tank . Or external armoured box . Continuous firing to last average length of battle or engagements .

( 2 ) Can main barrel be elevated to fire like howitzer ? Is this impossible ? Can howitzer be same calibre as tank round ? Can howitzer fire tank round ? For the sake of small advantage in calibre size . Big advantage in flexibility is gained . Iran has laser guided anti-tank projectiles . Destroy enemy tank from 10-15 km distance ? Even longer range than AG anti-tank missiles . Russia can help with 125 mm sokol projectiles .


( 3 ) Can tank round be used to intercept incoming enemy round and then go on to destroy enemy tank ? Kind of active protection combined with anti - tank round ? Maybe a missile can carry more electronics to do this . Launched from tank main gun . Guided by radar on tank . You may not need radar . Just range finder and photocell to register a flash by opposing tank gun . Then tank auto fires in direction of enemy tank . Because ballistic trejectody is predictable . Then two rounds pass close by . And frag can disperse in path of incoming shell . If false signal given by enemy tank . No problem . Gun fires and destroys enemy tank .


Thanks yavar for posting .

Back in March Iran stated they would be producing the Karrer tank then the next thing you know their ordering T-90 lol so do they plan on having a mix? Or plan to copy the T-90 and incorporate T-90 into the Karrer? I know on paper they Karrer is similar to T -90 but is this just a pretext for when they copy T-90? Surely if their tank was that good they wouldn't buy T-90.
But on another note there conversion of their Btr60 to BTR Heidar 5 & 6 minelayer I actually like it and good use for them. Iran needs to get rid of all the USA made stuff including most of the upgraded stuff Iran would be better buying production rights for most things they need and the rest can be homegrown stuff.

Iran generally suffers from same issue as China were most of their technology is knockoffs that were later upgraded. North Korea shares same issue. While Russia does an evolutionary thing while developing new technologies and reverse engineering those they didn't produce before (thermals). Russian tanks as example hold fantastic technology like T-90 and newer. Something Iran can learn from. In the end as well, they may have been able to produce a couple examples of the karrar tank but lets be realistic - do they have the capability to start serial production of them? Do they have modern composite material technology? What about ballistic computers?

Now I think regarding the tech part - Iran does produce, I believe, a SPARC based processor of some kind so they could develop a ballistic computer (assuming they also create the sensors too) and also, I believe the thermals that are available could be modified civilians thermal cameras from China, which would work fine after some modification. But the composite armor tech and engine tech, they may have some difficulty. But not like they can't produce them. Just maybe not en mass.

What's happening with Karar tanks, are they in serial production? Does anyone know which unit will get them first?

Interesting photo-report from the modernized "Center for Production, Modernization and Optimization of Armored Vehicles Shahid Zahran" of Iran's Defense Industry Organization. This enterprise was built by the Soviet side during the Shah's regime in 1973-1976 in accordance with the Soviet-Iranian intergovernmental agreement for the implementation of capital and medium repairs of artillery and armored vehicles and vehicles supplied from the USSR, and remains to this day the main armored and repair base of the ground forces Iran.

In the photo report, in particular, one can see the overhaul and modernization of the Chieftain tanks with their new fire control system for Iranian development, as well as the repair of BMP-1 and BMP-2, while the BMP-2 is equipped with an Iranian anti-tank missile system "Dehlavia" (the Iranian copy of ATGM "Kornet-E").

Commander of the Army of the Iranian Army Brig. Gen. Heideri visited the recently modernized Shahid Zahran Center for Production, Upgrade and Optimization of Armored Vehicles of the Organization of the Iranian Defense Industry. According to reports, 82 units of modernized and repaired equipment were transferred to the land units of the Iranian army.
