Iran presented the Soleiman-402 tank

Recently, Iran presented a modernized version of the American tank M60, which received the designation Soleiman-402. It includes a number of technologies designed to increase the survivability of the armored vehicle and its operational efficiency on the modern battlefield.

Unlike the standard M60, the tank's turret houses a remotely controlled weapon station, a thermal imager and a weather sensor. The vehicle is equipped with passive dynamic protection, which covers the front part of the turret and the lower frontal part. The upper frontal part is reinforced, apparently, with a type of armor known as SLERA [the principle of its operation is similar to the usual EZ, however, it remains in place after activation, although it is not ready for re-use].

Another significant improvement concerns electro-optical countermeasures. The tank is equipped with systems similar to the Russian “Shtora” jammer, used on a number of local modifications of the T-72S and capable of interfering with the targeting of enemy ATGMs. However, Iran has at its disposal smaller and more modern jamming systems, which are installed on the Karrar tank [a further development of the T-72] and include a laser receiver.

This modernization demonstrates Tehran's intention to make the most of the materiel at its disposal, adapting it to modern threats.

Is it with an ancient 105 mm British rifled gun?

[LuckyBlog]

if there are HE shots, then it’s a very good solution. In our Northern Military District we even use T-55s with a 100mm cannon.
he can’t match the Abrams or Merkvas in a frontal attack. there are already more ATGMs and drones will decide

Ah, Soleiman-402 may very well be...

[LuckyBlog]

The Iranians have a lot of ATGMs, so it’s unlikely that these tanks will go to stop Merkavas and Abrams

Everyone has a lot of this goodness...

Where else will they go?
By the way, it is not known whether they will go where at all? Soleiman-402 has just been presented...

[LiSiCyn]

With the current “survivability” of armored vehicles on the battlefield, sawing old “boxes” into metal is wasteful... But armor gives at least some chance of reaching enemy trenches.

[knn54]

Improved protection, new optical system and countermeasures system. And that's all.
Tests/exercises will show whether it will go into production

[Nexcom]

And the Iranians came up with something protective against drones from above, otherwise the article doesn’t say anything about that.

For some reason it seems to me that the uvrei on the Merkava will have stomach ache from laughing...

They just can’t stop “guys in flip-flops sitting in tunnels.”
And for the genocide of civilians that Israel is committing, in principle, tanks from the 30s are enough.

“They just can’t stop the ‘guys in flip-flops sitting in the tunnels’.”©
The fact of the matter is that “those sitting in the tunnels”... The partisans are invincible on their territory and so far enjoy the support of the population. But this is not about them, but about the confrontation between Merka and the “modernized version of the American M60 tank.”

But we are not talking about them, but about the confrontation between Merka and the “modernized version of the American M60 tank.”

It seems to me that if they don’t act in the US style (air strikes) they could very well get screwed.
Especially if the first ones are Merkava, there’s cardboard in general.
And yes.
There is little reliable data on Merkava.
It was the Teshki who fought everywhere, both in direct hands and in asshole hands, against equals and against rising forces. And Merkava?

[Vasyan1971]

“It seems to me that if they don’t act in the US style (air strikes) they could very well get screwed.”©
Therefore, they will act in the US style. Moreover, why “will they”? Already in action.
“It was Teshki who fought everywhere”©
What does “Teshki” have to do with it? The speech, let me remind you for those who are especially attentive,” is about “a modernized version of the American M60 tank.”
Are the first Merkavas still preserved in nature?
“There is little reliable data on Merkava.”©
Is there a lot of reliable information about Soleiman-402? Despite the fact that the Jews have operational tanks and crews.

Look!
And in this situation, even if that Suleiman is cooler, he will simply get ripped off by the fact that the air is behind the enemy. Even if he gets to the Merkava or the Merkava will reach him before the plane.

Quote: Vasyan1971

What does “Teshki” have to do with it?

For example, tanks that in general are not difficult to evaluate.
They were everywhere, in many places.

Quote: Vasyan1971

About the same price as for Merkava.
Wonderful overseas miracle.

Quote: Vasyan1971

Despite the fact that the Jews have operational tanks and crews.

But it’s not like they fought particularly hard.
Those few wars rather cast doubt on the fact that the Arabs know how to fight than to draw any conclusions about the tanks of the parties.

[Vasyan1971]

“It will simply be ripped off by the fact that the air is behind the enemy.”©
This means that Jewish pilots will laugh too.
“For example, tanks that in general are not difficult to evaluate.”©
Yes. No problem. There are countless photos of torn down towers. You can't erase a word from a song...
“About the same price as for the Merkava.”©
Yours is not true. Soleiman-402 has just been introduced, but the Jewish product has been fighting for a long time. You're just off topic. Some “Warrior Uh” will come and explain everything in detail. I repeat: crews that have been tested and coordinated in real operations are a very important factor.
“Those few wars rather cast doubt on the fact that the Arabs know how to fight than to draw any conclusions about the tanks of the parties.”©
And if not an Arab, who will sit in the tank?

[dnestr74]

Actually, the Persians will sit, not the Arabs, in these tanks)))

[Vasyan1971]

“Actually, the Persians will sit, not the Arabs, in these tanks)))”©
Is there a big difference? Where did the Persians get real combat experience in tank warfare? Jews have an advantage. For one beaten, as is known, they give two unbeaten.
Another thing is human resource resources.
The Jews have an American roof, again.

[mr wolf]

We've already been sick many times... And it's unlikely that it was from laughter. Any tanks are on fire. Without exception.

[Vasyan1971]

“Any tanks burn. Without exception."©
Yes. But some burn more, some less. Except Soleiman-402, because there are no similar photos provided by you. Is it true?

[APAHAKC]

so what kind of aladin are you!, Muscovite! yes not Suleiman 402)
