Armoured Warfare around the World

Things are on the mend but damn cannot shake this cough. I heard from others it was like a month of coughing I hope it does not last that long I like sleeping.
Get some good cough syrup. I had the same thing and it took three weeks to shake the cough. Hang in there, Delta.

The Chinese corporation Norinko presented an export VN-12 tank fire support vehicle with a 105 mm cannon based on the ZBD-04 infantry fighting vehicle.

Cadavers of past age.
They may be modelled using existing parts and meshes I think.
1) From the times of Iran-Iraq war. This one is a mix of old tank base T-54\55\Type59\69 chassis. New custom turret with 130mm M-46 soviet gun (or it's China version, 130mm Type 59-1)

11) Iran for now. This is an Iranian IFV Makran - actually it is soviet BTR-50 APCs with some high additions and 30mm 2A42 soviet BMP auto gun in a new turret.

12) Iran tank M47M Sabalan. What is it? It is an upgraded M-47 tank armed with a gun similar to 105mm M68 tank gun instead of old 90mm one. Looks like the original turret was highly modified.

13) Iran tank Tiam. This is M47M with a new turret armed with a gun similar to 105mm M68 tank gun instead of old 90mm one. And a turret supposed to be of a Type 59 origin.

14) Iran Heidar-6 and Heidar-7 APCs - ex-BTR-60 ones with 73mm BMP-1 turret and with 23mm gun turret (honestly I do not think that BTR-60 could handle Kontakt-1 ERA explosion without falling apart and effectively destroying itself).

15) And the last one is an Iran ex-BTR-60 (at least I think so) prototype with a 30mm turret from BMP-2.

Thanks again Delta for providing us with such awesome units! I particularly love the Patton tanks and the M47 more specifically, I'd been hoping for years that someday it would get made.
 
Excellent the new units!
