Iran got their hands on the M1 Abrams

[Viper0011.]

The IRGC got their hands on the M1Abrams of the Iraqi army.
Do you guys think they'll reverse engineer the thing and make their own M1 Abrams?

Someone above said it right, buy Al-Khalid tanks, as they were designed by input from the Pakistanis (from their experience with American tanks and M1's sold to the ME countries).

But.....these are "export" versions. Try not to bring a reverse engineered Iranian M1 in front of a real M1 from the US Army, your turret may go missing within a few seconds of coming in contact.

we can use it auto loader mechanism in our Zulfiqar ... western auto loader mechanism are far safer than eastern one ( we use the same autoloader as T-72s -- carousel autoloader,) and it is not safe at all ....

----
edit , look like M1A1 doesn't have any auto loader .... great fail for me ...

Iran should work on some badass like this one, missiles including (BMPT-72 Terminator)

But futurebelong to unmanned ground combat vehicle, so Iran should concentrate money on them.

I can't see human factor being totally removed from military hardware anytime soon. The unmanned ground combat vehicles may be used in fighting terrorists or groups like ISIS but against a mighty foe that can jam your communications, they are useless.

Those Abrams tanks are downgraded version. I can bet, it will be worst than our Type-96 tank.

You didn't bother to check the thread about Iraq complain of their M1 received from US?

 

[Mustang06]

They can always check the gun, electronics or that diesel engine for their own tanks!
