The existence of the Zulfiqar main battle tank was revealed in 1994. It is also referred as the Zolfaqar. This MBT is named after a legendary sword. Six prototypes were completed and tested in 1997. It is an indigenous design, which uses components and systems of the US-supplied M60 MBT and Russian T-72, which is manufactured in Iran. It is estimated that about 100 of these tanks are deployed in Iran by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Does not seem well protected at all :S
its really a heavy car with Caterpillars
It looks a bit more threatening in this pic. Moddb.com
But yeah I have doubts about the quality.
tank fodder for western tanks or kills for even airforce.
In a fair fight it could give Western tanks a run for their money. Too bad the west never fights fair and always knocks out opposing tanks with its air power and stealth. Same thing happened to Iraqi T-72s when a majority of them were killed by F-117s >> Poor bastards didn't even have a chance to retreat without being bombed back to the stone age with 2,000 JDAMs :/
More or less its the Wests air power that grants its dominance in the world not its tanks.
its old. but zulfiqar3 is a good tank
