Zitat:Iran Strengthens Armored Forces with Delivery of Modernized US M60 Tank Suleiman-402https://armyrecognition.com/news/army-ne...leiman-402
According to information published by several Iranian media outlets on February 27, 2025, Iran has received new military equipment, including the Suleiman-402, an upgraded version of the American-made M60 Main Battle Tank (MBT). This new delivery is part of the country's ongoing efforts to enhance its military capabilities, particularly its armored forces, as Iran seeks to modernize and strengthen its defense industry. [...]
Although specific details of the Suleiman-402 remain largely unconfirmed due to the classified nature of such military projects, several enhancements have been suggested based on Iranian media reports and expert analysis. One of the primary upgrades is likely to be in the tank's armor protection. The Suleiman-402 is expected to feature enhanced composite and reactive armor, offering better defense against contemporary anti-tank weapons such as guided missiles, rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), and other modern threats.
