Not a T-90 | Karrar MBT 

Regardless of our opinion on the current Iranian government, it is respectable that they're able to produce lots of their armaments domestically. This tank's specification is quite impressive considering the sanctions imposed on Iran.

should have called it "i cant believe its not a T-90"

"This is no T-90 boy, no T-90!" - Persian Ramba Ral (probably)

Iran is developing a pretty cool indigenous arms industry

Karrar is an Upgrade package for Iranian T-72s.new engine, new fire control system, add armor and upgrade communication systems.

I always love when a new video comes out

Zulfiqar MBT is my favourite Iranian tank. Unfortunately very few details are about it available

An impressive modernization of a tank that solidly earned it's heritage plates before I could drive. Looks slick too. Now that's expertly executed compliment/insult sandwich.

btw Karrar means attacker in arabic, although iran doesnt speak arabic they still use a lot of arabic words in their naming scheme, mostly from the quran

Great content, as ever!

It doesn't matter if it's a copy of the T90 tank or not, what's important is that Iran is able to produce these tanks under the hardest sanction regimes ever imposed on a country. That shows that Iran is not a weak country. Image what they would be able to produce if they weren't under a sanction regime.

*KARRAR* _appears_ to be a very good upgrade from their *T72S.* Until the gun, fcs, era and other electronics are better known it will always be regarded as a cheap take off to the awesome *T90MS < T90M Proryv-3*

Sounds like an upgraded T72

I love tank design stuff

Could we get a video on tanks from, south Asia. Arjun, Al-zarrar and Al-khalid. Would really be interesting

Iran have some interesting design experiments in the past. But it seems they eventually choose a more conservative path.

No way a video on iran on this channel??? im about to fan girl lmao

Lol not a T-90, just a license built copy of one. Love the part about the ERA being a copy of Russian ERA followed by the statement it was built without help from Russia

It would be interesting if you could do a vid on the Iranian earlier project the Zulfiqar tank 1,2 and the last upgrade Zulfiqar 3. The Zulfiqar 3 at least some where given to North Korea whom cometically altered it a bit and called it the M2020 for sure the 7 road wheels give it away and looking like an Abrams tank clone. Though it is a combo of Western and Russian influence It would be cool if you guys did a vid on this tank.

it's interesting the tank about ASCOD 2 sabrah light tank too know about

Iran: it's not a T-90 Russia: 😐you could have asked you know

The karrar is not a T-90 nor is it T-72, it's uuuh... If the 2 tanks had a baby

Any reliable information or images about armor composites? Imo its most important thing in tank chassis, as tanks get upgraded, armor inside generally stays the same

Cant belive they can make tank even under sanction

"Javlin Bait" 👍👍

There's some really good upgrades in here, but I seriously doubt those protection numbers unless the Iranians somehow got their hands on relict type ERA

the total Iraqi army losses (destroyed and captured) from the t72 tanks didn't exceed 100 in the entire 8 years of war out of 1100 t72 tank... most of Iraqi army t72 fleet was from polish and czech origins with small numbers of Soviet made Ural t72... According to its specifications on paper, the tank is considered excellent and constitutes an important addition to the Iranian ground forces, especially considering Iran’s aging fleet of main battle tanks... the Iranians have extensive experience in manufacturing and using chemical energy anti-armor projectiles or shaped charges (HEAT) with advanced performance data against the zionist entity latest generation main battle tank... this is why we assume that the explosive reactive armor (era) suits the tank is equipped with and the general Iranian reactive armor industry is considered very good... I believe that the tank is equipped with advanced multi-channel sighting systems, but we assume that it is either a license, or reverse engineering, or development based on Chinese off the shelf reconnaissance, surveillance and tracking complexes, and the performances levels that may reach 25 km... the tank suffers from some shortcomings, including but not limited to: 1- the tank’s inherited the same ammo storage of the t64/t72/t90 although it did placed some monitions on separate ammo storage site but the main storage remains in the bottom of the hull which make the tank very vulnerable to anti tank land mines and anti armor explosive devices, and by pairing the land mines and the ammo storage site (alongside the fully packed magazine with ammo and propellent) we can explain the footages emerging from the Ukrainian theaters of operation of huge explosions followed by a catastrophic destructions of the latest generation of the t90ms... 2- the tank is not equipped with a millimeter radar system, this would have given it an advanced organic early warning capabilities, against various air and ground hostilities (various weapons systems and ammunition), and with it would have allowed for improving the levels of the multi layered perception and awareness of the commander,In general, the millimeter radar system provides a visual capabilities superior to most multi-channel electro-optical sighting systems, even with a small or medium-sized antenna, but its drawbacks remain in the possibility of detecting the tank using ground radars from a long distance, in addition to the ability to painting the tank for various munitions especially tank guided ammo that riding that radar wave, the radar system could have been linked to the Iranian Integrated air defense network as one of their forefront subcomponents... 3-the tank is not equipped with an auxiliary multi-channel sighting device mounted on a retracted mast this will allow the tank commander to scouting and monitoring the battle field organically from a higher position and thus from longer distance, this capability could be issued to tank platoon commander... Our best Wishes to the Islamic Republic Of Iran...

I wonder how would the Karrar MBT fare against Emirati LeClerq tanks Saudi and US Army M1 Abrams Omani Challenger 2 Israeli Merkava Mk 3 & 4 Kuwaiti T-72 derived M84s. Since this is based on the T-72 family US Saudi Kuwaiti and Israeli Army stream know how to defeat one due to T-72s being used in the region since the 1982 Lebanon War.

666 likes now I'm unsure I want to like it and spoil the number

Given that the roof ERA appears to be cosmetic sheet metal, I cant help but wonder what else is fake on this tank

T-90MS at home

When you upgrade T-72 too match turn it to T-100

Has it actually been put into service in 2020??

What does Iranian small arms exports have to do with its tank program?

Typical Iranian design, the poor driver has to do _everything_ while 'those above him' drink tea and criticize. 7:10

12:00 Finally I know the gun elevation and depression. Only -6° depression. That's not good for defensive fighting. Western tanks have -10°.

Saying the karrar is not a t-90 is like saying a type 59 is not a t-55

4:44 turret mounted anti-what? English isn't my first language so if anyone can help i will appreciate it

Sooner or later.This tank will fight in East Europe 😮

10:56 Bluds got the fuel warning light 💀

Wait, it sets off the smoke launchers if it detects a laser? So setting aside it obviously won't be effective in automation against wire guided thermal or radar lock ATGM systems (though I assume a manual method to set them off exists), does this mean someone messing about with a laser pen could cause problems? :P

Iranian t90ms

Try search M2001 it was M-84 more like t90a

It's quite a leap of faith to assume their armor is as good as the Russians. Nobody who has a tank with a Russian style carousel can be feeling too good about their tanks after what we've seen in Ukraine. 40k dollar ATGM and pop goes the turret.

It doesn't matter that it has a blow out panel it still has a carousel autoloader

As we have all seen in the Ukraine war it doesn't matter how good or how many tanks you have, if your battlefield tactics and logistics are not up to modern standards the tank will be nothing more than a sitting duck for an ATMG team, and the Iranians use the similar doctrine as the Russians on the battlefield, due to the fact that they have embraced Russian advisors..

They can deny it all they want but I dont believe for a minute this was made in house. A very aesthetically pleasing tank all the same though.

Akıllı bir çözüm

So dumb question. Lol if they had a 100 T72 why didn’t they just copy it? Why get a license for it?

I am sure this is as combat effective as their stealth fighter with the cardboard dashboard and canopy that cannot close if someone is sitting in it.

❤️🇮🇷💪💪💪

K Tank Is Made on T-72 K MBT is Way Better than Russian T-90

Javelin's snake 😋😋

Can you do serbian m-84as1/2?

A cheaper upgrade of the T-72 than the T-90 is. And it will be about as effective as it is in Ukraine. Prepare for the launch of the turret 🤣🤣🤣

Automatically launch smoke grenades... Yeah... totally won't mess up it's own crew, too

Perfect for warcrimes

Iran is a funny country

Would love to see Iran's new tank get the Iraqi T-72 treatment, Hellfires, Mavericks, JDAM's and Abrams APFSDS.

This tank does not exist, they bought one T 90 MS from Russia and there is always only one tank in the movies.

T90M is better
