YEKATERINBURG, February 3. /TASS/. Russia’s Uralvagonzavod company is ready
to organize in Iran licensed production of the T-90S gun launcher-armed
tanks if restrictions on military-technical cooperation with that country
are lifted, the corporation’s deputy director general Alexey Zharich said on
Wednesday.

Russia’s main battle gun launcher-armed tank T-90S is equipped with an
automated fire control system. It is a light tank (46.5 tons) with a low
profile, which increases its survivability.

"Cooperation with Iran was suspended in accordance with the presidential
decree "On measures to implement UN Security Council Resolution 1020 of June
9, 2010". But if restrictions on military-technical cooperation with Iran
are lifted, the corporation together with Rosoboronexport (arms exporting
company) is ready to continue cooperation, in particular, on the licensed
production of the T-90S tanks, modernization of the T-72S tanks and their
production capacities," Zharich said.

On Tuesday, Commander of the Iranian Ground Forces Ahmad Reza Pourdastan
said the country preferred not to purchase Russia’s T-90 tanks, but to
establish their production in the country.
