“Some elements are borrowed from the M48 and the British Chieftain tank.
“It is based on the T-72 platform, but it also has something from the American Abrams and M60 tanks,” said Russian military analyst Vladimir Bogatyrev. As with its previous domestically-built tanks, the Karrar borrows components from several other tanks. The Karrar strongly resembles the T-90 and, like the T-90, can reportedly fire anti-tank laser-guided missiles from its main gun. Iran insisted it doesn’t need to import tanks when it can make its own. When the Iranian Army expressed its desire to procure Russian T-90 tanks in 2016 Tehran only bought 24 and immediately sent them all to a pro-Assad militia in Syria.
