These dimensions largely match up with the other measurements I took for the main article on the Zulfiqar-3. As Adam from the TV show "Mythbusters" would say, who doesn't love consistent data?

Ruminations on the Zulfiqar-3
Recently, an anonymous commentor directed me to a photo from the news-agency IIPA which showed the Zulfiqar-3 on a trailer during the Army Day Parade 2011. This photo didn't show anything we hadn't seen many times before but the angle of the camera was such that it allowed another round of estimates of the general dimensions of the tank.

According to them the Fateh 110/Khalij Fars is based on the Chinese DF-11A . I disagree with them , I think the Fateh 110 is based on the Zelzal .
No, you're definitely on the mark. There doesn't appear to be any real connection between the Fateh-110 and the DF-11. China might have shared some of their experience and knowledge about the DF-11 with the Iranians while they were designing/building the Fateh-110, but that would be it.
