Re: Irani new development of the M-60?
Probably, once I get so more photos and specs for it though I do have a rear shot of the turret
https://defencesecurityasia.com/wp-c...062146_100.jpg https://armyrecognition.com/template...-c1f99572.jpeg ^^^^Soleiman-402^^^^ BUT In the meantime, you could simulate it with the Israeli Mag'ach 7 (Israel unit 41or 42 )...... Mag'ach 7 https://i.redd.it/je0upa8hefr81.jpg The overall shape of the turret is not that much different thought the Iranian is a bit wider it is not all that different at game scale .........and the irony alone is worth it. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GRio1zOW...jpg&name=large |

Re: Irani new development of the M-60?
Well, I'll start with this...
https://mehler-protection.com/blog/s...les-explained/ What this Iranian tank is NOT ... https://electronics.leonardo.com/doc...=1678369710974 https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/moder...rade-solution/ (Includes a range table for Detection, Recognition and Identification of targets.) It's not even an M60A3 SLEP though it's the weakest of the upgrades as far as the turret in particular is concerned but it has the M256 120mm as was carried on both the M1A1 & M1A2 ABRAMS (Early.) plus a RWS 25MM CG. Further it's powered by a 1200HP engine. https://fighting-vehicles.com/tanks/m60a3-slep-tank/ Similar to the SLEP ... https://fighting-vehicles.com/tanks/...n-battle-tank/ https://www.army-technology.com/projects/sabra/?cf-view (As submitted and entered in also for Turkey. They also have just this year done a further upgrade to those tanks.) . But "fear not" the Iranian tank looks sort like the first proposed upgrade from the early 80's it was from us so therefore you can appreciate its name the US Super M-60 and no one bought it including us. Well... Until now by Iran and they called it the "SOLEIMAN-402" 44 years later they almost look the same as compared to the "Super M-60 (Though has less rivets and a cleaner finish.)" https://tanknutdave.com/the-us-super...grade-package/ Like it's new counterpart in North Korea, with all those rivets it's just another "Titanic" on tracks. This shows in tank manufacturing with limited resources just how far behind these countries (Iran/North Korea some others.) (are) in tank development; I'd say at least a generation in most areas of tank development certainly construction. And SHOTORA 1 you'd almost be better off throwing rocks at the incoming missiles. :D Grant it they look "modern" but, that won't help you on the "modern" battlefield. It's late!!!! Have to sneak in "Commando" style!?! ;) :cool: Regards, Pat :capt: |
