Thursday 13.06.2019 (9 of shawwal 1440 Hijri) iraqi officers, spiritual and political leaders viewed the prototype al-Kafil, who reportedly will undergo troop trials in a sort of Al-Abbas Combat Division.

Actually, this is not a new design, but about the modernization of the already established of the soviet tank T-55, or even chinese type 69. At first glance it is obvious that there has been a major reconstruction of the towers and part of the fuselage. Some technical details are kept secret, but it is assumed:
- the use of new optical and electronic devices capable of detecting the distance of 14 km,
- the deployment of sensors around the perimeter of the vehicle covers 360°,
- the main armament consists of 100mm cannon D-10T with the range of 4 to 17 km,
- additional armament consists of three remote-controlled machine guns (one 12.7 mm and two 7.62 mm),
- fire system is controlled by an on-board computer,
- air-conditioning.

The Polish internet server Conflicts claim that the iraqi bigwigs and technicians from Al-Hashd ash-Shaabi were experienced in the CZECH republic and in 2018 reportedly agreed to cooperate with the company Excalibur Army.

Note
In the discussions it was questioned armour prototype, and it was claimed that it is nakašírováno.
