    I suppose so.  Ian seemed to like it well enough in his Forgotten Weapons video where he fired one.  I suppose it's a better option than a pistol.   How many grease guns were US tanks equipped with?  I seem to remember reading that during the Iraq war that US tankers only had two M4 carbines per vehicle, meaning two of the crew had to use pistols if they were operating dismounted.  Am I remembering this correctly?

     

    I remember speaking with a M1 crewman who said the same thing. He also said it just depends on the crew.

    Its really sad to be honest. It’s like that old dog at the pound that’s been there for a few years that’s not been put down yet, hoping for someone to come get him 😞

    On otvaga forum members think that it is Iranian upgraded version of sight from Slovenian "Fotona" company.

     

       Also, more footage. In the middle part you can see a bit more about sights of the tank and RCWS. RCWS sight can move in limited arc, separe from where HMG is facing.

       Some thoughts: at first when Karrar was shown i and many people on Russian military-related forums assumed that this was UVZ-aided developed "Iranian" T-90MS or simply re-painted MS, that was done as part of UVZ attempt to sell their product to Iran using refreshed relationships after Russian operation in Syria begun. Cooler heads on this forum like SH_MM pointed out that it was more likely to be Iranian attempt to make their own upgrade for T-72S or just a PR stunt.

       GurKhan things that it was made in attempt to use it as a pressure during "probable" UVZ-Iran negotiations to buy T-90MS tanks. There is alo another version that Karrar is product that Iranian industry will use to secure internal AFV market by not giving UVZ free access ("why we need to be T-90MS from Russians if we can make basically same vehicle here on our own?"). Third view is that this vehicle is attempt to catch-up with other nations in the region in terms of AFV capabilities.

     

    lol, Britain still uses the Chieftain apparently.
