I hope these tanks will go all the way to Jerusalem to liberate Palestinian people from Israeli terrorists.

Iran has launched a production line for superior 'Quick Reaction' tanks as part of the country's campaign for defense self-sufficiency.
Head of the self-sufficiency unit of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps ground forces, Colonel Nasser Arab-Beigi, said Iran has successfully started the production of a 'Quick Reaction' tank named 'Tosan'.

He added that a project to modernize engine and fire control systems for T-55 tanks is also underway.
The Iranian colonel referred to recent threatening remarks against Iran and said that the current situation calls for a significant enhancement of the country's defense capacity.

“Military equipment need to be upgraded in accordance with the latest developments in global technology,” said the IRGC colonel.

Col. Arab-Beigi said the self-sufficiency unit is also working on projects to enhance passive defense systems and secure the country's military sites.
He said the unit had been producing tactical vehicles since 1993, adding that it has also started work on anti-shield military equipment and electro-optical surveillance systems.
Arab-Beigi went on to caution that every enemy move in the Persian Gulf and on Iranian borderlines 'is under the full surveillance of IRGC forces'.

Ugh. Upgrading T-55s? Really?

I mean they're better than nothing and adding some fire control and engine is all well and good, but they really aren't suited for the modern battlefield. Generally light armor, small gun, no provisions for Bradley like add on missile systems, vulnerable ammo. Did a (*)(*)(*)(*) poor job for Saddam

Sounds like the Tosan is even less impressive. Classed as a light tank and supposedly armed with a 90mm gun. I'm curious what they think the role of those things is going to be. Not open field combat against a modern military at any rate, maybe semi guerilla style defensive actions where they hide out in the woods and threaten to come out and hit supply lines if ignored.

I suppose it could be that nobody in the world will sell weapons to Iran this may just be the best they can do.

Iranians will storm Jerusalem even with the bare hands. Nobody wants that Israel in the Middle East.
