TEHRAN, 24 December 2021, (TON): The Fars news agency reported “Iran is to mount an anti-missile system on the turrets of T-72M tanks to protect them from attack.”
The report came during Iranian military exercises, and after the United States said it was preparing “alternatives” in case negotiations to revive a deal to curb Iran s nuclear programme collapse in Vienna.
Fars said “the system has been tested and will be installed on the tank turrets. It will be able to deflect all types of missiles by jamming their systems.”
The agency also reported Iran s Revolutionary Guards land forces chief, General Mohammad Pakpour, as saying the tanks main gun has a three-kilometre (1.9-mile) range and precision night-time capabilities.
On Tuesday, Iran s military fired several missiles from land and sea as part of the five-day exercise.
