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.
The hull machine gun from the M47 is gone, so is this a new hull or what?
Yes hull m m47 :)
