A look at a war in Iran and what would likely happen

Iran manufactures most of its armaments including the Toophan ATGM(Anti-Tank Guided Missile). The Toophan is very similiar to the American TOW ATGM.

The Toophan is in the bottom 3 photos.

What's the use of this in a post-tank world? America doesn't plan on replacing the m1a3 Abrams for a reason. Tanks are obsolete.

NOW THAT'S a threat. Thanks for posting something relavant.

However, the M82 has 300 more meters in effective range. However I'd close that to a 100-200 meter range, seeing as both snipers from both nations are skilled for longer ranges.

And the American XM109 effectively puts all of them to rest. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.

All this really ers at me to make a post about the American Army being upgraded.

All our conversations here are revolving around 1989-2005 technology, which the US has already outdone and is upgrading.

My honest bet is a war by 2016, when the US has concluded its current upgrade phase.
