I can't find the source for only 100 Karrar, gotta link? cause they explicitly said 800 Karrrar
There is no reference to your figure of "100 Karrars" in this article. Also the term upgrade is applicable to the Karrar MBT project because most of the planned Karrar MBTs will be built using preexisting T-72 chassis that are fitted with the new turret, power pack and sub systems.wrong the plan was upgrading and producing 700 to 800 new tanks for Army and IRGC ,
Karrar one of them .
تحول جدی در توان زرهی نیروهای مسلح/ تزریق ۸۰۰ تانک جدید به سازمان رزم ارتش و سپاه +عکس
معاون وزیر دفاع از تولید ۸۰۰ تانک جدید به منظور تحویل به ارتش و سپاه خبر داده است. "کرار" با توجه به زیرساختهایی که برای تولیدش در ودجا وجود دارد، احتمالا جزو گزینههای اصلی است.
This Karrar in the picture is missing the Remote Weapon system and Crew commander's independent sights. The Crew Commander's copula appears to be the original copula from the standard T-72 MBT wich really limits the crew commander's situational awareness.. Judging from this image it looks like the Artesh are getting a down graded version of the Karrar MBT most likely due to funding issues. Over all though even a downgraded karrar is better than the the T-72S MBTs that they will replace. These Karrars can always be upgraded in the future if the budget improves.
The IRGC have had this capability for well over 5 years now. They even had a Television Show where they had 2 teams competing against each other using this system.
