Post a comment
Description
Recent reports suggests that Sabalan is not a new tank, but rather a rebuilt M47 Patton Main Battle Tank, which Iran almost 170 in service.
Upgrades includes:
1. One 105 mm M68 rifled gun.
2. Add-on composite Armor.
3. A not-so-keen-to-burn diesel engine.
4. Modern fire control system.
5. Modern communications equipment.
Iran is likely upgrade their large M-47 inventory to Sabalan standards.
what is it suposed to be used for? Riot control? They can't show up with these in a war with the arabs getting Leopard 2 and even Iraq having M1 Abrams.
well in a war even a ****** WW 2 tank could take down your lovely abrams or Leopard.. and this thing does not seem so bad compared to these two tanks.
The L-7 (M-68) is capable of killing both of those tanks...
Now that's what I call "devoted-to-vintage". :D
