I wonder if these sort of tanks is suitable for how irgc operate.Army will receive a kind of low rate production batch soon and has recently signed a contract for further serial batches. A batch "0" was delivered for testing and its success is the reason why they signed a contract for higher numbers with the DM.
This "real contract" thing could be the first large scale tank purchase of the Army after the early 90's contract with Russians for T-72S. I guess several hundert were ordered and financed with the defense ministry.
If IRGC also place their order after field acceptance, the production line at Dorood will get quite busy.

This is probably the largest weaponry purchase from a local supplier in Iran's history, is that correct?Army will receive a kind of low rate production batch soon and has recently signed a contract for further serial batches.

Shame satellite imagery is updated relatively infrequently.
Depending on how far Iran is willing to go, and if it actually goes through, certainly. Of course, the 400-500 or so T-72S that we made in Iran were bought from Russia and I believe were knock down kits. The thing is, I'm just scared that this will be little more than a deep modernisation of the existing 400 or so T-72S that Iran has in service. For a vast country like Iran with so many threats around it I'm sure this number is far too small. Iran currently has a force of about 1000 active tanks, though many of them are showing their age. All these tin cans need to be replaced, the M47s and Chieftains need to go. I maintain that we have to consider making these Karrars in large numbers, probably over nearer to 2000 than 1000...

Yes,its some what ironic,the gulfies and vassals spend ridiculously obscene sums on weapons they dont need and likely cant even use properly,while iran desnt even begin to spend even nearly enough on the basic systems apart from just a small number of hi-tech deterrence weapons.It is truly a fu#ked up situation.Of a system of that degree of complexity yes.
-We had the assembly of Russian T-72S kits
-We had the license production of the T-72S
-We had own production of T-72S with Russia stopping license support
-We had Raad-2 production run with modified T-72S chassis for IRGC
and now we have a combination of completely new Karrar production and possible T-72S upgrades to Karrar standard.
The problem are the thousands of parts that needs to be produced in numbers. Remains to be seen if a serious production run with large quantities can be achieved. Until now Irans priority were not to spend much money on such complex land systems.
