"Iran has created a new tank, the Karrar, lethal like the Russian T-90". This is what has been announced by the Minister of Defense, Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan. "Perhaps not superior to the Russian T-90, but lethal like the latter. The Karrar is undoubtedly one of the most modern tanks in the world". Dehqan's statements (politically correct towards his Russian ally) arrive a few hours after the decision not to proceed with the purchase of T-90 tanks. We were interested in the Russian T-90 - added General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan, commander of the army - but since we are able to build a similar platform at home, we will provide ourselves for the large-scale production of the new generation tank .
