New Iranian Tank Abomination
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
- Iran has recently unveiled their latest tank, and it is pretty special to say the least. This is one of several different modernizations Iran has come up with in the past several years This one in question is a modernization of the Iranian M60A1 tanks, to try to bring them to a somewhat modern standard, and bears the name Soleiman-402. At the first glance it might seem like a decent tank, but since Iran wants to modernize their entire M60A1 fleet of 150 tanks, they can’t have this be an expensive upgrade, and it really shows.

Truth be told, any armored vehicle doesn't have to retire at all. As long as it's still moving, your army would always be able to use it. The only reason why armies retire older vehicles, is so that they don't get shamed. The world oldest tank was literally used up until recently in Afghanistan the FT17.
M60 is a great tank. Doesn't have to retire... ever.
I believe turkeye is still developing a new upgrade for theirs
@@cherrypoptart2001 Yes, when you have no other choice you have to use what you have. The situation of the Altay project is unclear since there is no engine. Germany won't sell them to Turkey and the domestically produced South Korean engine has been rejected by Korean generals due to technically insufficiency. Turkey was planning to buy these Korean engines but it looks like they're off the table too. Turkey was trying to build their own domestically produced tank engine but that project failed too. Sad...

From a geopolitical standpoint, upgrading M60s makes sense for Iran rather than wasting money on a handful of T-90S-spec tanks (Karrar). The most likely ground war for the Iranian Army is most likely an intervention in Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan, to deal with an insurgency, install a friendly regime or maybe fight a relatively minor skirmish with a peer army. These tanks (ideally) would never be facing Turkish Altays or Israeli Merkhavas, or even Saudi Abrams MBTs. Those wars would be fought by the rocket force, like the scud-duels during the Iran-Iraq war. Proxies with ATGMs, drones and artillery rockets fight Israel for Iran, so these tanks are 'good enough' for the Iranians. Anyhow, the bigger priority for Iran is its Missile/Drone arsenal, nuclear program or even air defence capabilities, rather than relative quality of its fairly large ground forces.
Any country should. And in fact, even in US, the M109 is so old and some variants in service is outdated to those from other countries like the K9, they still use it and upgrade it.
That's why there is nothing bad about this, especially when the price is acceptable. If anything, I just think the Shtora-1 won't work anymore
Tank vs Tank battles are very rare. Armies would be better off focusing on preventing tank destroyers like FPV drones.

The metal shroud is there for thermal management. A tank main gun is a hollow tube that's only supported at one end. As a result, sunlight will heat the part of the gun tube exposed to direct sunlight to heat up and expand slightly. This will cause a slight bend that can have a significant effect on accuracy. Keeping direct sunlight for hitting the gun tube beans that the tube will remain at a uniform temperature and no thermal bending will occur.
Generally, this is achieved using fiberglass or sheet-metal tubes that fit over the gun tube. I suspect that the Iranians tried to use those sheet-metal designs to both do this and make the tank look more modern. However, the shrouds do not appear to be well connected to the barrel and repeated firing will likely damage them fairly quickly.
I was thinking that the shroud was to lower a radar signature, same as the unique shape of the turret.

If we made this in US, i would laugh, but we have Abram X, the difference is, that tank look like it can dismantle all the bs component off, as in tomorrow it reaches a mechanised brigade, and the crew just dismantles all the unnecessary components off and request armor plates and other components.

This upgraded M60 Sabre with APS and 120mm gun is up to date or even better than most othe tanks (because most other tanks in the world still don't have APS)
@@AquaNomad34 The Iranians upgrades (if you can even call them that) barely add any value to the tanks surviveability largely because it still uses rolled steel armor from the 60s
@@AquaNomad34 What exactly are you smoking? The Sabra may be a decent M60 upgrade, but it's nowhere near actual modern MBTs, and certinly isn't "one of the best protected tanks in active service today".
An APS system might help it against missiles, but it won't do anything against KE projectiles. So in the end, you have an M60A3 hull with a little bit of ERA that will get penetrated by essentially every full caliber APFSDS, including outdated rounds like 3BM15 or DM23. The turret might do a bit better with the added composite, but I still doubt it'll be very effective against modern or semi-modern darts, like 3BM46, DM53 or M829A2. It's internal crew protection also isn't great, as combat losses have shown much higher crew casualties per penetrating hit for Sabras than the Leopard 2A4s Turkey also uses.
And while it has a decent gun, it's still an M60, so mobillity isn't exactly great. So in the end, while the Sabra upgrade may allow it to go toe to toe with upgraded T72As, an M60 is never going to stand up to a Leo2, M1A2 or T80BVM.

Could it be that the metal sheath around the cannon barrel is an attempt to conceal the thermal signature of it? I'd imagine it gets pretty hot when it's used, and lights up on IR displays like a christmas tree for many more minutes afterwards, even more so than the rest of the tank.
I mean, it *could* be... but that it was a Thermal Sleeve (what the 125mm 2A46 cannon has around its barrel) for the same purpose.

The barrel shroud (ala KF51) looks to be for thermal management. An alternative to the older barrel blanket.
Which, much like the dazzlers, will absolutely fail at because it's made of sheet metal.
0:35 I know of a reason for the gun shield and it comes from WWII.
During combat, the German panthers would get very hot barrels and when it would rain the metal at the top of the barrel would cool very quickly compared to the bottom which would warp the gun upwards slightly and throw it off zero. I dont know why I only heard it from a German report.
Maybe its because their guns were so much longer than the allies (length equal 70 calibers of the gun) and that made them more susceptible to the light bending. This was solved post war by placing a shroud over the gun.
yeah but the issue with that theory is that Iran is a dry country same with Iraqi and any bordering country
the gun shield probably is just there to make it look like something advanced
I dont think the tank was intended to go toe to toe with an abrams. it maybe designed for the local threats iranian military faces like rebels or taliban.
Most rebel groups have ATGMs that either have Tandem warhead or just a really good warhead.
This thing has ZERO composites, and the copper spike/Jet would just melt through its steel. This thing is hair brained and idiotic.

The sheet metal over the barrel is just a sun shield. It literally just shades the barrel keeping it's temperature lower and more consistent, because in the desert the sun gets real hot and it can effect how the barrel behaves and has a deleterious effect on accuracy. Lots of tanks intended for hot climate applications have them, they are just generally far more elegantly implemented.
Iranian Cosplay.
That sort of shield covers some of the gun's heat signature.
0:55 The purpose of a gun shield is mostly for thermal insulation. Prevents asymmetric deforming due to warming by sunlight.
Could they not use a thermal blanket instead.?
Like the Polish concept Pl-01!
@@shengyi1701 It's not a polish concept. This has been known for years. Also a polish Pl01 is a reskinned CV90. lol
The dazzlers are actually a good option, since most of the missiles used in the Middle East region are still SACLOS missiles which the dazzlsers work very effective against to deffend
Modern Top-Attack missiles (like the Javelin) are still very rare in the Middle East region and not so likely to get in the hands of rebels, so in most civil war scenarios it would be a good option to protect the tank
Honestly surprised they seem to still be using the M68 for the gun, You'd think they'd try and put a soviet gun of some sort into it instead. Idk if the 125mm would fit but maybe the older 100/115mm guns.
presumably they have sufficient 105mm ammunition stocks.
sufficient 105mm ammunition stocks and expenses , Tank development isnt a top priority in iran
The sheet metal shroud around the gun barrel, may be a heat shield to prevent sunlight from making the main gun overheat- which would reduce the barrel life (number of times the weapon may be fired, before one must replace the barrel), a real problem with older weapons- and/or shield the gun barrel from enemy infrared sensors. Whether or not these benefits are actually worth the cost in materials and in additional weight, is another matter.

I understand that your evaluation is made in a general sense, but Iran's most likely adversaries are internal and regional (Afghanistan, not the gulf states). Both of those will not really have access to modern weapons. Even the yanks probably aren't stupid enough to send crates of modern weapons to Afghanistan again (although you never know). Do upgrades like the dazzlers make more sense there?

Oh Iran, why?
Makes you question their ability to control nuclear power (civilian or millitary) altogether when things like this come up.
Dazzlers will still work with ATGMs that do not have top down attack functionality. So it may fit into a more asymmetrical warfare doctrine of going up against less well equipped forces. The top down attack systems like the SPIKE, Javelin, HJ-12, Kornet-M will destroy any MBT on the planet as the top attack is the weak spot of every tank
The Trophy APS can actually intercept top attack missiles too
The Hezbollah recently used a modern top attack missile against a israeli Merkava 4 and the Trophy APS detected and intecepted the missile successfully
Trophy APS provides a 360 view of what's visible on the tank, and will terminate any threat. This is why the Abrams and Merkava has it.

I worked a few years in Iran military manufacturing industry and let me tell you this.
always assume the worst about the things that come out of the factory line.
they barely spend any money on research and people in charge are selected based on their believes and loyalty to government and not based on talent.
once I talked to a commander who was willing to bet his life that Russian tanks are using hardkill APTS and its the best thing in the world because he had seen a video and his ears were closed to any fact that you were presenting.
also 90% of things you see Iran builds are for the sake of national audience who don't have access to true information.
so when this commander (in video) says that this tank is one of the best in the world and news channels air it , most Iranian will believe it.
they most likely make the modification to a few of the tanks to show on TV and then leave the project.
Iran spends shyt ton of money on Militants groups on proxy wars and not that many on its actual army.
love you videos and keep up the good work.

Cheers to RedEffect for the Saturday morning upload!
Electroboom has branched out to building tanks I see...
Gun shields and shrouds can keep the sun off of the barrel, preventing some warping due to the metal heating increasing accuracy (in theory).
Dazzlers do work on TOW missiles which are still widely used.
Gun shield actually can have a purpose - it can disrupt thermal image of the hot gun barrel. But still, that IMO is mostly decorative, just like most of the "futuristic" and "cool-looking" stuff on Western concept prototypes.
I have heard people talk about the gun shield used as a thermal sleeve. As metal expands equal and is relatively cheap and easy to work with
Great to see countries recycling tanks instead of scrapping them like a UK 🇬🇧 the new-cost build of tanks and the development line time is now exhorbitant
I love how you can clearly see the original - totally unchanged - M60 turret underneath. Whatever is in the added on steel decoration is likely mostly that - something to make the tank LOOK more modern/scary. Visually, 80% of the tank's "upgrades" *look* purely cosmetic.
Overall, this entire thing gives me "putting an M badge on my 1990's BMW 1 series car" vibes.
I still remember the time where they flexed their cardboard "stealth" fighter 😂 iran just keeps on giving 😂

I’ll bet that cowling on the main gun barrel is either for radar (it’s prolly not very good at reducing radar signature) or it’s for thermal/IR (having an air gap with an outer skin will drastically reduce the signature of the super hot barrel after a few firings).

- M60
I only see this thing fight insurgents or militias and potentially hitting other similar original era tanks
The gun sheath makes it look bigger. Good choice.
I think that the shield on the gun barrel is for thermal shielding. The air gap will help insulate the metal sheets from hesting up and the cold metal should help conceal the hot barrel. There's little to no evidence that this is true but this is probably the most feasible thing i can think of
Kudos to the Patton designers. They really knew their trade in yhe day
The biggest problem with modernizing ancient vehicles like the M60 (beyond things like laser warnings and remote machine guns and such) is that you can't remove several inches of steel from the hull and turret and replace it with composite. Steel gives all the protection of cardboard, but weighs dozens of tons.
So it's an M60 with modern fire control and laser warning
