Iran has decided to abandon the purchase of tanks T-90

Iranian News Agency More publishes a statement by the commander of the ground forces of the country, Ahmad Reza Purdastana. Iranian general told media that Iran is not going to acquire Russian Tanks T-90 Earlier, the acquisition of these tanks by Iran was spoken by both representatives of the Iranian authorities and representatives of the Russian authorities. A group of Iranian specialists was supposed to leave for Russia at the end of last year to prepare for the signing of the contract.

Iran has decided to abandon the purchase of tanks T-90


Ahmad Reza Purdastan argued the position of the Iranian side as follows (translation "Vedomosti"):

The Russian T-90 is one of our favorite tanks. But Iran currently intends to meet the need for tanks at the expense of own-produced vehicles.


In Tehran, they say that the issue of purchasing T-90 tanks from Russia is "off the agenda."

It should be recalled that in November last year, Russia began to supply Iran with the C-300 anti-aircraft missile systems. Previously, the implementation of the contract was frozen on the grounds that the Russian authorities decided in a strange way to correlate the air defense system with offensive weapons, on which supplies to Iran were banned on the basis of a specialized UN Security Council resolution.

        Well, what can you do? You won’t do anything. In theory, the Iranians cannot be blamed for this. Iran has its own economy, it is necessary to load its production and its jobs.

          Yes, in China they were going to buy, or make their own in Chinese

          In vain did they sign a 600 billion contract with the Chinese?

          Much more will come into this contract from the fact that they were going to buy from us.

          On the other hand, it is more profitable for them to buy from China - for oil

            That’s most likely ... A tank is a machine, it must be done in a large series, and not 10–50 cars, like in Ukraine, not be cut on the knee. In Iran, it will be very expensive and a bad copy like Turkish Altai to South Korean K2 and Leopard ...

            Perhaps .. although the 600-billion-dollar contract with China may contain something more in connection with missile technologies, new communication networks, IT - Iran, being a long time in a certain isolation, has thoroughly lagged behind in matters of modern technical and technological equipment.
            Of course, better products and equipment are best purchased in the West, in Korea, with us, after all! But in China, it’s cheaper, and sometimes not worse, although almost everything is lapped around the world ..
            As for the T-90 - do we know much about their combat use? But Iran, it knows, and precisely in conditions close to it, is not for nothing that the IRGC is participating in the war against Daesh in Syria. Something embarrassed them, maybe ..
            Well ... don't forget about the MARKET: you also need to be able to sell. And here ours are clearly inferior to the same Chinese! In addition, India's statements about the purchase of the Su-35 are fresh in my mind: how long did it take to “break down” in front of the French? And what is the result? BOUGHT all the same "Rafali".

          - This is one of the factors. Making your own tank is not such an easy task.

          I think the reason is that they don’t want to buy Western tanks (yes, most likely, they will not sell them in the foreseeable future), and the level of modern anti-tank weapons, coupled with the crew sitting on the powder keg, is an unacceptable level of probability of crew death. Even for the T90.

          Maybe this is a prelude to the order of Almaty?

            The same thought flashed about Armata. The T90 would become outdated by the time of the receipt of the order. Or that something anti-tank appeared that we don’t know about. About the Chinese, perhaps, but it’s not very impressive, the same song, only from a different hillock.

            The fact is that Iran also produces its tanks. Although inferior to the T90, but with modern anti-tank weapons, the difference is not so great.

            And their Zulfikar-3 in a number of indicators is comparable to T90. They, in fact, only develop remote sensing and active protection (or buy) - and that’s all.

              There are no exact data on the number of tanks produced. Sources call numbers from 100 to 150 Zulfikar-1 tanks. New Zulfikar-3 are under development and testing, and there are up to 10 prototypes.

              Zulfikar has a welded tower of Iranian design. It is believed that the Iranian main battle tank Zulfikar was developed mainly on the basis of components from the Soviet T-72S, as well as American tanks M48 and M60. The suspension is designed based on the suspension from the M48 and M60 tanks.

              The transmission is also a localized version of the SPAT1200 installed on the M60. It is reported that Zulfikar-1 has a weight of 36 tons and is equipped with a 780 hp diesel engine. Some sources [which?] Point out the similarities between the design of Zulfikar and the Brazilian prototype of Osorio.

              The crew of Zulfikar consists of three people. An automatic loader is also considered borrowed from the T-72, production is carried out in Iran. A 125-mm 2A46 smoothbore gun, inherited from the T-72 and equipped with an ejector, is installed on the tank. Despite earlier reports, available photographs show that Zulfikar-1 does not have automatic projectile delivery. Auxiliary armament consists of 7,62 mm and 12,7 mm machine guns. For the Zulfikar / T-72 tank fleet, the Iranian military-industrial complex produces 23 kg shells with an initial velocity of 850 m / s, equipped with a standard propellant charge of 3 kg.

              Zulfikar-1 uses the same fire control system EFCS-3, made in Slovenia, as in the T-72Z ("Safir-74"), which allows firing in motion. Perhaps a turret warning system is installed on the tower that has a fire control system with a laser rangefinder or uses laser illumination of the target. The design of the tanks allows you to install dynamic protection on the armor.

              Zulfikar-3 has a slightly different shape of the hull and tower. The weight is increased to about 50 tons and to compensate for the speed, a more powerful engine of 1000 hp is installed. A turret with a 12.7 mm remote control machine gun was installed on the tower. The entire tank is covered with a camouflage net to hide in the IR range.

              Once we made the T-90! iConst! How easy it turned out in your words. And no institutes (steel and alloys, etc.) are needed. And the "school" of tank building, "lifelong", is it nonsense?

And here are the berries - they are not buying the Super Budget for them.

The problem is compounded by the presence of obvious technological difficulties that India has already passed in the case of its Arjun tank, which turned out to be so bad that the local armed forces refused to buy it.

          If Iranians buy tanks from another country, it will be an indicator of mental illness. Firstly, there are not so many manufacturers of really good tanks in the world, and most of them either will not sell them to Iran, or will most likely promote them. Secondly, it is Russia, selling tanks and other equipment, that shares technologies, that is, it helps with the creation of production and creates jobs. For Iran, there is not so much choice where to buy tanks, either Russia or China. Russian tanks would be a more logical choice, if only because it is better to acquire primary technology, moreover, the performance characteristics of "purely Chinese" tanks are often mythological in nature. For example, in the Type-96, which participated in the biathlon, the caterpillars are analogous to the T-55 caterpillars, which is archaic in itself, but the reason for the breakage was the shell (manufacturing defect), that is, the Chinese in any very sophisticated tank can find old solutions from which they cannot refuse in view of the technological impossibility. China, of course, economically for Iran is a more important partner, but there is no economy without politics, and politically, we have done incomparably more for Iran.
          Iran most likely postponed the issue of buying tanks in favor of more necessary things for its army, since no competitors have been heard about, or maybe it's just a diplomatic veil. Time will tell.

          So their own economy and jobs, or will they buy it elsewhere? From their own they have full-time "Zulfikar". Something based on the T-72, current weighing 36 tons. A strange cross between the chassis - from the M60, the gun and the automatic loader from the T-72 , well, and on the little things they also pulled something. Tank building, dear Tatiana, is an incredible alloy of scientific thought, engineering school, exceptional analysis of advanced production. What of this is now in Iran, which has been isolated for 36 years? These are 3 modifications of Zulfikar, and there is no normal data on performance characteristics.

              The iPhone with its liberal inclinations causes a persistent feeling of incompleteness, but in fairness it should be noted that even if we assume that he himself made a decision on the S-300, then his "mistake" could have been canceled a long time ago, or even immediately.
              For all its merits, GDP can make mistakes (and makes), and it can also be subject to pressure, both external and internal. Such a decision could be a compromise with the United States on another issue, it could simply be a shortcoming of analysts, the result of an incorrect assessment of the situation, an attempt to play honestly with the United States. Maybe on the contrary, an absolutely verified and correct decision - we don’t know all the factors affecting the supply failure, we only know the official reason for the refusal. But it’s obvious that Ayfonchik couldn’t make such a decision on his own.

                  We need not to limit Iran in gas supplies to the EU, but to interfere with Israel, for example, which is at least not our friend and not even an ally.
                  Israel wants to become one of the main suppliers of gas to Europe, pushing Russia away.

                  Israel has invited European Union countries to invest several billion euros in a pipeline to supply their natural gas to Europe, so that it becomes a replacement for the Russian one. The proposal was voiced by Israeli Energy Minister Sylvan Shalom at a meeting with energy ministers from the Mediterranean countries gathered in Rome earlier this week. According to the publication, Shalom noted that deliveries through this gas pipeline will reduce the dependence of Europe on Russia.
                  REFERENCE: The Tamar gas field in Israel was discovered in 2009, and in March 2013, commercial production of blue fuel was started here. Geologists estimate its reserves at about 8,5 trillion cubic meters. However, there is more to come: 130 kilometers north of Haifa, the Israelis discovered another field, the Leviathan, which contains about 16-18 trillion cubic meters of natural gas. Currently, drilling is underway here, and it is expected that this field will also be commissioned in 2016.

                  The final decision to begin work on the plan will be made in Brussels, where Israel intends to submit its proposal in three weeks. It is planned that the pipeline will pass first from the Tamar field in Israel to the island of Cyprus, and from there to Greece and Italy.
                  Another option is to build a pipeline to Egypt for liquefied natural gas plants in Damietta and Idku in the northern part of the Nile Delta.
                  The agreement should be signed before the end of 2014. The cost of the contract is more than $ 60 billion. Noble Energy and the Delek Group are already negotiating for the delivery of 180 billion cubic meters of gas from the Tamar and Leviathan fields from the Israeli shelf. With the subsequent transportation of this gas to Europe.
                  And if these projects are implemented, Israel is able to completely save the countries of the European Union from the need to deal with the Russian Gazprom
                  Thus, we see the EU’s ever-increasing efforts to find alternative gas suppliers, and the desire to please Washington and “punish” Russia for its independent policy plays an important role here.

              Yes . then no one in Iran knew about this before the sanctions were lifted
              As it became known, during a visit to the MAKS-2015 aerospace show in Russia, the Iranian delegation signed a number of contracts worth $ 21 billion, the Sputnik news agency reported.

              According to this information, Iran is interested in buying Russian Sukhoi Superjet-100 aircraft, as well as satellite equipment, said Manuchehr Mantegi, head of the Iranian Aviation Industry Organization.

              He did not say exactly how many planes are planned to buy.

              It should be noted that Iranian Vice President Sorena Sattari, who visited MAKS 2015, said then that Iranian airlines would be able to buy Russian civilian aircraft Superjet 100 and Tu-204CM if they were offered good financial conditions.

              but only the sanctions were lifted - right there
              Iran agreed to buy 114 civilian aircraft from a European airline manufacturer Airbus, Iran’s Minister of Transport said on Saturday, January 16, ahead of the anticipated lifting of international sanctions on Iran.

              "We have taken the first step towards concluding a contract with Airbus for the purchase of 114 aircraft," Abbas Akhundi is quoted by the TASNIM news agency as quoted by the news agency.

            Airbus, as far as I know, can enter into leasing. The Russian Federation has no attendants and such an opportunity. The same is with oil - Lukoil has no opportunity to invest, especially with such oil prices. Amer. the giants are curtailing investing in new fields, not even Lukoil.
            Iranians need money, so they will "fraternize" with those who can give them. Unfortunately, the Russian Federation cannot help. For example, the refusal to build a state district power station in Kyrgyzstan. The project is profitable, but "long".
            The Iranians, after they come to their senses after the sanctions and earn money, will themselves start looking for markets for the same villages. products, textiles, etc. And they will be vitally interested in the TS, it is logical - they will not go anywhere. 80 mil. Iranians - large in number. the country will have to trade for its development. And then the neighbors, the market with 180 mil. - it seems logical. In the west of Iran, everything is still very unstable, we and Pakistan remain. Iran has many times expressed its interest in the construction of pipes to the north - both to the EU and to the PRC. And in this he is vitally interested. So there are many trump cards in hand in competition with others. So there is no "jealousy" towards Iran - only business, and then time will tell. hi

                Alexander, would you spend this money on the fact that it will not give economic returns? They need the whole oil and gas infrastructure, which makes profit, to be modernized. They need investments in the fleet and fields. I think that a competent owner will invest in something that will give a return; and only then, from profit, on such things. Well, they will buy tanks that will also suck (fuels and lubricants, spare parts, personnel, etc.), what will they have from this?
                I think they refused from these considerations. hi
                They wake up from the sanctions and then borrow. The military, when they were under sanctions, were in the forefront - now they are more at home. business interests - everything "decayed" under sanctions.

                  Alexander, I suspect that these 100 billion are Iran's gold reserves abroad. And that kind of money is not allowed into the furnace. For example, Kazakhstan has over 91 billion gold reserves, but we do not allow them to do such things. For example, we are building infrastructure. Roads, airfields, railway, we repair and change water supply, sewerage, etc. - nobody will build or repair it for us. Since this year, the Nurly Zhol project is being launched, the construction of highways from Astana in all directions. I want to make a digression. Our parliament has "resigned". Why and why? After all, the Nur Otan party is sitting there (99%)? I suspect that because of Nurla Zhol. The deputies put their paws on the project (the people stubbornly repeat). Well, the National Academy of Sciences and its party are not comme il faut to arrange a showdown - that is why they dismissed them. hi

                Iran’s Advisor on International Affairs arrives in Moscow on an official visit.
                Moscow, February 2. Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev discussed with the adviser to the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Akbar Velayati the situation in Syria and the Middle East.
                Iran’s adviser on international affairs paid an official visit to Moscow to discuss bilateral issues with the Russian leadership. During the meeting with Patrushev, the prospects of cooperation between the two countries to ensure international security, as well as the situation in Syria and the Middle East as a whole, were examined.
                Velayati also held talks with the Special Representative of the President of Russia for Syria, Alexander Lavrentiev, with whom they discussed issues affecting the situation in Syria. In addition, the topic was raised about the interaction of Iran and the Russian Federation, in particular the quadripartite coalition against terrorism.
                Earlier, Tehran stated that it was ready to cooperate with Moscow in all areas, including nuclear energy, the defense industry and regional cooperation.

            Iran lifts sanctions for renouncing nuclear weapons

            Arms embargo will be applied to Iran for five yearswhile deliveries of weapons are possible provided that the “notification and verification procedure is passed through the UN Security Council,” Lavrov said (quote from TASS).
            The five-year preservation of the embargo will not affect the delivery of Russian S-300 air defense systems to Iran, a source familiar with the situation told Interfax. “S-300 air defense system is a purely defensive system that did not fall under sanctions neither when they were introduced in 2010, nor now, when, as a result of negotiations between Iran and the Six, an agreement was reached to extend the arms embargo by five years, ”the source said.

        If this really interests you, here is my answer. It's not about tanks, it's about. We helped them when it was difficult for them. Not perfect, it turned out ugly with the S-300, Medvedev ... a bastard, but they helped with what they could. They promised to buy these tanks. I think if the sanctions were extended, they would certainly buy them. But the sanctions were lifted, freedom of choice appeared, all sorts of thoughts got into our heads - maybe we shouldn’t owe them anything for their help, but why should we buy these tanks from them, and in general, they owe us, for life .. And what they will have better things to do, the more they will have such thoughts and the less desire to go towards us. And so it will continue until the next sanctions. Which, by the way, is just around the corner - for testing launch vehicles. Then we’ll talk with them about tanks ... :)

        And where is he licking the west ?!

        Let's look at the whole picture of the situation with Iran.
        The argument that Iran is licking something is absolutely wrong for someone. The Americans went to the lifting of sanctions against Iran against the will of Israel, which was very against lifting the sanctions. That is, Obama went against the most powerful lobby in the US Congress, the Jewish.
        Here we can say that in the game who the first to blink won Iran.
        Naturally, the first thing is the revival of oil production, which accordingly will require energy costs for production and processing. Burning oil to produce electricity is stupid. The issue with nuclear power plants is acute, we must do it quickly and preferably cheaper. Mr. Kiriyenko could ask for more time and, accordingly, money. There is no clarity with Bushehr. Then the Chinese fussed. Who are you to blame? Competition.
        On tanks you can read in different ways. And we want and prick and we want tanks and it is desirable to produce ourselves. Then the office of Mr. Rogozin could well show the cookie. Take tanks, drawings and technologies you will receive later, right after Easter. So the question remained suspended, and it is such because the real battles in the same Syria will show that Iranian tanks only plow the land in the field, and not fight. When they understand, they will agree on both the price and the conditions. And the fact that they bring us fruits and vegetables instead of Turks, thank you very much. During the sanctions, they got so many problems to list for a long time. And the fact that besides them (Iranians) on historical dunes with Turkey no one knows better knows in Washington. Therefore, they grit their teeth, but they don’t do anything radical. And who is right time will tell. Something like that. hi

      With the lifting of the sanctions regime, Iran was unfrozen bills of $ 100 billion, which they can now use. Most likely, as it is written above, they have an ambitious plan for the development of their machines in order to develop their military-industrial complex and not depend on the supply of spare parts and components.

A similar release of the T-90S is deployed in India and is currently being established in Algeria.
      The tank industry of Iran has experience in assembling the T-72S large-site - 300 vehicles were assembled in the second half of the 1990s from Russian car kits. In addition, since 1997, the development and production of tanks of the Zulfikar family has been ongoing, which are the development of the T-72S (in particular, armed with the Soviet 125 mm 2A46 cannon) with a suspension developed on the basis of the designs of the American tanks M48 and M60.http: // lenta.ru/news/2016/02/02/iran/

        Although not in the subject, but I will answer. The commander-in-chief of the Aerospace Forces wrote on our resource that the MiG-35 will be purchased because it is much cheaper than the Sukhikh family. With AFAR, it cost 45 million. green, with a slit "Beetle" it will cost around 30 million green. It is in this price range that it is now being driven, the country needs a cheap, super-maneuverable fighter, and the more expensive options with AFAR are for abroad, the same Iran was very interested in them, Egypt is also showing interest. The price for dryers starts from 65 million green, then 80 million, 90 million Su-35 with PAR, 120 million green with AFAR, t-50 under 180-200 million green, where you can see an approximation here cost to Dryers? Prices are heaven and earth. So they don’t have enough money for everything, a common thing, there are priorities, at the moment, they may spend money on combat aircraft, frankly speaking, they are not new at all.

          And in general our Glavkom. often fantasizing. He is headed by the PR department.

          Nevertheless, I believe that the MiG-29SMT would be ideal for Iran. Maneuverable, lightweight, fairly cheap to operate and to purchase. What else does? they essentially don’t need an AFAR there either. Sometimes a good headlamp can be more profitable in battle. The area of ​​the country is not large, if there are good ground-based radars, then head on. I would have bought a couple of A-50s from us, and it's really cool. they are only under the sanctions of the poor, they are breathing in the wings.
          In practice, I think that they will not buy anything from us regarding the Air Force. Would there be an agreement or plans, would send the pilots for retraining to us. They are with our equipment, sort of like ALE. You can pair them with the Yak-130, let them learn laughing

        The creation of their tanks for Iran will be a big problem. It is necessary to create metallurgy, mechanical engineering, electronics, research centers, to create engineering personnel and skilled workers, and this is a big financial investment. If, yes, they take some modern tank as the basis, then you can still get a tin can, since the technology for making armor is stored under the stamp of secrecy.

    I think that the "unblocking" of Iranian accounts is fraught with such harsh conditions that the Persians will not see their money on such a large scale that Iran could rush into serious breakthrough purchases or investments.
    I also do not exclude that this is a consequence of Russia's support for the sanctions 2008 and 2012.

    But Iran currently intends to meet the need for tanks with its own production vehicles.


    The likelihood of the production of such complex equipment as a modern tank independently, by such a country as Iran, looks a bit comical, because not so many countries can make weapons, but only those who have worked out the full development / production cycle, of which there are only a few in the world, therefore one question: will it be a joint venture with Russian participation or Chinese ...

    The T-90 is an export tank, made for the Indians. Iran has a "Zulfikar" - its own development, a cross between a "bulldog with a motorcycle" - our 72nd and amerovsky M-60 (suspension). Any normal military man knows that it is impossible to fight with purchased weapons (to fight, not to drive the rebels). At any time, deliveries may stop.

    Really decided "Zulfikar" to rivet?
    In addition to the main modification of the Iranian Zulfiqar-1 tank, Zulfiqar-90 and Zulfiqar-2 combat vehicles were manufactured at the end of the 3s. Zulfiqar-2 looks somewhat different from the main version with a new tower and the installation of bulwarks. The Zulfiqar-3 uses an advanced undercarriage with seven rubber track rollers. On these tanks, an SLA with a laser range finder, an automatic loader, and a night vision thermal imaging system were introduced. The tanks are equipped with a power unit V-84MS with a capacity of 1000 hp. Useful combat mass increased to 40 tons. The main reservation was strengthened on the tanks and the ability to install dynamic protection systems was included.
    Modifications:
    Zulfikar-1 - the first prototype was shown in 1994. The tank combines design solutions and components from the American M60 and Soviet T-72. Equipped with a fire control system that allows you to fire on the go. A laser warning module is mounted on the tower. The design of the tank allows the installation of Iranian-made dynamic protection kits. It is believed that the 125-mm smoothbore gun and automatic loader are borrowed from the T-72, while the undercarriage is from the M60 tank. At least 100 units were issued.
    Zulfikar-2 - is equipped with a modernized engine and chassis. Only one prototype was built.
    Zulfikar-3 - the latest modification. It differs from its predecessors in a new running gear, turret, SLA and laser range finder (it has significantly upgraded fire control system, running gear, engine and a 125-mm cannon with automatic loader). Zulfikar is the name of the sword of the prophet Muhammad, who after the death of Muhammad passed to the righteous caliph Ali ibn Abu Talibu. In legends, Zulfikar is often endowed with magical power and magical properties. It was believed that the magical Zulfikar protects the borders of the Muslim world from enemies

    It would be an honor! This is their legal right, we can help if they ask for the development of a tank, but I suppose that Iran will sooner or later buy tanks from someone who wants to sell them to Iran, even making their tanks, because the Iranians quickly and they themselves simply cannot be pulled by a high-quality modern tank due to the lack of the necessary technologies and equipment. They can make a tank by their strength, but it is unlikely that their car will be able to compete even with any version T72.

      Iran is going to cooperate with Russia in the production of fighter jets
      Iran and Russia are in talks to establish a joint production of fighter jets, Islamic Republic Defense Minister Hossein Dehkan said in Tehran on Tuesday.
      According to him, Russia agreed to cooperate with Iran in "joint design and production" of a combat aircraft, having learned about the capabilities of the Islamic Republic, Iranian media reported.
      "In the field of fighter aircraft production, we will not carry out such cooperation with any country except Russia," the minister stressed.

    In order for military equipment to be sold out in other countries, it is enough to choose the right price-quality ratio. The quality of weapons is checked on the battlefield in contact with similar samples. Abandoned tanks? You can offer another technique that they still do not do. By the way, is there combat experience with the S-300? S-400? Let’s say, adversary, but didn’t reach the target? You yourself, when you buy an expensive thing (technique), a hundred times ask your friends about quality ... And here, the same thing. In addition, the country most likely still has little cash to satisfy its needs right away.

    It is now, in my opinion, personally, it is necessary to focus on the agricultural sector, where success is already noticeable. And the IT direction, which is developing dynamically in the country, and which needs to be developed 3 times at least by 2020 (industry, etc.)

    Well, Iranians have never been idiots. They are simply diversifying everything and everyone. Some will be bought from China, some from the Russian Federation, and some from the EU. They need to get dependent on the Russian Federation? This is generally what everyone expected, who was even a little interested in the issue of Iran.

      the main thing is to have something to offer. I personally was surprised when they signed contracts with Italy for 15 billion ... then back in France. Maybe somewhere infa that the Iranians then ordered

    That's it... that's... and our T-72 burns like lard... It's a bad tank! It's a pity that his Lobby is unsinkable...

    If we sold them the T-90 with the right of subsequent release, they would buy. But not everything is sold like that, there are things that need not always be discovered. And correctly, you must keep your secrets. Still suitable.

    And what actually prevents you from selling the T-90 with the right of subsequent release? The production of the T-90S has been launched in India and is currently being established in Algeria. And what are the things “that should not always be revealed”? And what secrets of the T-90 tank “must be protected”?

    I think we should not be offended, but start protecting tanks of our own production at a higher level. Then we will watch videos like this more often.

    Iranians - Persians, Chinese - Hans - these nations will look after their interests. For Russians, if a friend does this, then you can share the last shirt. And if they say friend, it means that at least they won’t take your life now. Each nation has its own language, its own mentality, etc. It's naive to think that
    someone puts into words the same concepts as you. So why do we think
    What if we seem to be friends with Iran, then it should allow something to its detriment? As Russia most likely would have done.

    If they don't buy now, they'll buy later. It is now more important for them to load up their military-industrial complex and develop their tank-building factories. Zulfiqar-3 is undergoing testing
