I would just expect better from a nation vying to build an arsenal worthy or challenging some of the large militaries of the world, even the continued usage of the BTR-60 and M47 seems a bit outdated all things considered.
And I would definitely agree that North Korea’s domestically produced alternatives to Western tech is nowhere near as technologically relevant as they have insisted; it is all just propaganda of course. But at the very least I believe there is an active attempt to provide the same capabilities.
To my knowledge, Iran has yet to bring out any armor that truly leaves defense analysts guessing as much as with the inherent secrecy of NK-made designs.
It also depends though, if it’s used by the IRGC solely, I can believe it being a simple modification since they’re a paramilitary force essentially. If it’s used by the IRIA too, then yeah it’s a bit more surprising.
most of iranian vehicles are almost copy paste, then it should not be a seperate nation. if current re gime was not here im sure we had iran as a seperate nation already, but believe me, most of them are copy paste
if you want iran as a seperate nation, then what about turkey, brazil, czeck and etc lol
Is there an updated version of this?
Also I was curious what a sub tree model would look like. Iran was leaked supposedly to be a Sub tree for the Soviet tree.
new footage from new upgrade for iranian ah1jc cobra which is equipped with 2 Cheffler launchers, electro-optic sight and 6 optimized Shafaq missiles.
The Shafaq missile is an Iranian medium-range air-to-ground missile that has been optimized and produced by the Ministry of Defense of the Islamic Republic of Iran for use on helicopters of the army and IRGC, as well as for use on Karar drones. This missile with a weight of 50 kg is capable of destroying multiple targets up to a range of 20 km with an error rate of 20 cm. Shafaq missile warhead has the ability to penetrate rolled steel up to a depth of 1500 mm.
and new footage from radars of KOWSAR 4th generation heavy bombers from the beginning until now, both radars were multi-functional and multi-band multi-mode digital phased array radars, but the second radar is very similar to the Absar radar, which is the first SAR radar designed and built in Iran. It is possible that SAR technology is also included in the new radar.
A very strange similarity that the digital fire control radar of phased array multi-functional multi-band multi-mode electronic reconnaissance fighter of the 4th generation KOWSAR heavy bombers with the Absar radar, which is the first Iranian SAR radar. It has a distance of 450 kilometers.
The radars designed and built for the KOWSAR 4th generation heavy bomber fighter are very similar to these two types of high-power long-range Russian air-based radars, because the design and construction base of the Binat family fire control radars is based on the Russian Zhuk family radars. Spear-211 multifunctional, multi-band and multi-mode phased array digital fire control radar replaces the old pulse radars in the modernization project of the MiG-21 family of fighters called the MIG-21-93 project.And the other is the Moskit-23 multifunctional, multi-band and multi-mode phased array digital fire control radar installed on MIG-23 Flagger fighters in the form of the Flagger fighter upgrade project by the Russians named MIG-23-98.
A very strange similarity of the digital fire control radars of the multi-functional multi-band and multi-mode electronic probe phased array of the Binat family, made in Iran, installed on the F-4 Phantom and KOWSAR bombers, with the digital fire control radars of the multi-functional multi-band and multi-mode electronic probe phased array radars of the Russian Zhuk family, such as SPEAR-211 and MOSKIT-23 radars which are clearly visible in these photos.
I gotta say, I was a little skeptical of an Iranian ground tree at first, but this looks like it could be a lot of fun, so +1! That said, I think a tech tree version of the M36 and the Sherman would be nice, considering their heavy use in the Iran-Iraq War.
I would really like to see Iran in the game as soon as possible. Also could you please create a medal scheme? Thanks. In the USA you can create a team with M4A1 IRAN, M18 IRAN and M36 IRAN. You have my vote +1
Here there are many images of a new project the Soleiman 402. It is a modified M-60. It has more protection, new communications equipment and a new fire prevention system.
As reported by the Western press, which studied the details of the project, among the changes visible to the naked eye one can notice the placement of additional armor on the hull and turret, presumably also covered by dynamic protection units.
On the sides and rear of the turret is a metal body kit mounted on a faceted structure, which seems to provide little protection given its thinness. Armor was added to the front of the hull, various equipment was installed on the turret: smoke grenade launchers, electronic devices, a weather sensor, a remote-controlled M-2 machine gun cal. 12.7 mm
The original gun is now covered with a massive casing, probably to reduce the thermal signature, although this may only be for aesthetic purposes.
Visible in the front of the turret is an electro-optical countermeasures system similar to the Russian-developed Shtora-1 system used in the T-72 and T-90.
In front of the tower, two optocoupler units are installed on both sides, possibly a perimeter vision system with laser warning receivers. On the body in the mechanical transmission area there is an electronic device for driving at night or in conditions of poor visibility.
There is no information on any improvements in the propulsion system. The smallest changes are found in the rear part of the body.
