12 March fresh new video here
just so many of good footage,praise the IRINN.IR

so,Karrar MBT aka T-90MS mod 2017 Iranian limited Edition 2.0
Has finally have a bit long TV report,and what is this?

when i see this ‘barrel protective case’ thing，the only thing in my mind is
"NO,T-72I4! It's him! He is Back!"


but after watch the video i pretty sure it's nothing but reference ~
first noticed difference is the ERA kit

Karrar 'ERA kit is smaller, have 6 plate on each slide front
compare to T-90MS 's 4 larger size Relikt ERA

the thickness of the ERA are pretty close so i guess it's just the smaller new Relikt variant

RCWS/Commander panoramic sight Station
huge muzzle brake but it seems just a 7.62mm RCWS，but looks cool

also the sight itself looks a cheaper product compare to T-90MS


Digital map,commanding system and Vehicle information Display 
this is pretty good, Karrar may have the best digital equipment in all Iranian tanks，not even Zulfiqar-3

normal vision channal of the commander sight
 
for the gunner，i noticed something interesting

now this is something new, the Karrar have a whole new gunner sight,so obviously the new gunner sighting system is not simply rip-off from russian
but the really interesting thing is, it keeps the 1K13,which compare to T-90MS removed 1A45 completely and replaced by Sosna-U and a back up sight

why is this?  @Lightning think, that Iran hasn't prepare or able to create their own laser guide coding equipment，if they want to use 9K120 ATGM system,they need keep the 1K13 for laser coding
which i found is a high possibility that could be true

karrar‘s gunner displayer compare to T-90MS

 
let's expect more information of this tank in the future

My inferior drawing of 195 haha..

does the image problem solved?

Here's some figures about 140 mm tank gun ballistics that I don't understand. 

Article Here
 
Since its from Switzerland, I assume this relates closer to the Pz87 140 mm prototype instead of any US project but is still probably relevant.
 
900+ mm of penetration with KE penetrators vs 750 mm of pen with 120 mm KE penetrators seems like a decent upgrade in firepower. 

well，i didn't get much information about it,but seems like Thumper and CATT-B with 140mm gun were both exist


this picture showing Thumper with the ATAC or i believe it is

compare to the CATT-B with 'XM291',the bore evacuator are different, but just compare each other,the size of the gun are very close to each other , and the barrel part out of the thermal sleeve looks the same
i guess they are both XM291 but in early or late version
