Contents 1 Bias 2 I have no idea 3 Zulfiqar who? 4 What a source!

[edit] Bias

The last section of the article cites an openly biased source of information. As the information (10km effective cannon rage) is not verifiable by any reputable sources of info on the matter (Jane's, FAS, OnWar), I'm tossing it. (USMA2010 02:00, 7 October 2006 (UTC))

[edit] I have no idea

This article is a joke right? Icelandic Intelligence? Derived from M1A2s from Iraq? Nevermind that Iraq and Iran didn't get along (maybe because of the Iran-Iraq war), the US Army didn't field M1A2s in Desert Storm, they only had M1A1s. And don't tell me that Iran has secretly taken M1A2s from Iraq now. I'm not doubting the existance of an Iranian derivative of the T-72/M48/M60, but this article is ridiculous. A 10 km effective cannon range? Thats 2.5 times what the US army claims an M1A2 can hit. Dx87 09:05, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zulfiqar who?

Can somebody translate it into English? (I presume it stands for something else...) Trekphiler 13:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

It stands for Zulfiqar. Raoulduke47 14:32, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What a source!

The only source quoted is the "Republic of East Vancouver" A look at it reveals it to be a very socialist paper with articles such as "neo-conservatism, not drugs creates addiction", "Muslims have good reason to fight secularism," "Bush denies communism; implies whole Cold War was a ruse" "Class war in the school and office" "Inside Israel’s apartheid state " as well as many articles oposing the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Relying on this rag for military information is highly questionable. I suspect that "High Times" might be a more relible source of information on the Iranian military. (unless the Republic of East Vancouver actually has a mole in Icelandic intelligence! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.245.135 (talk) 02:15, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
