well i have my doubt they upgrade all m-60 to this standard , probably a cut-down version more likely without the remote station .
about its survivability we really can't say much unless we know what type of additional armor they attached to it
but what really can increase the tank usefulness is if we build some missile like Israeli LAHAT or Chinese GP105 that can be fired from 105mm cannons that increase the engagement range of the tank up to 5-8km which help it against newer tanks with better cannons or enemy position with atgm launcher

This upgrade package will never be done. These are just contingencies. Let’s be real M-60 will likely go into storage by 2030.

Ukraine war taught Iran to never destroy your tanks and keep them in storage and have a plan to modernize them. That is why Russia is bringing WW2 tanks out of storage and sending them to plants to be modernized and used in war. For Iran, it’s good to have modernization plans on hand in case of such an event.

The likelihood of Iran land invasion is statistically unlikely. You have more likelihood of UFOs being confirmed as alien/inter dimensional life in next 10-15 years than Iran being invaded by land by any country. Thus mechanized armour is a zero priority field at the moment.

The most likely land war scenario would be against Azeribajian in a future skirmish where Iranian armour crosses over. Or against Taliban to build a buffer zone.

Both of these events are still very low, but much more likely than an American invasion or Arab invasion.

I don't think in case of war with Azerbaijan or turkey these 50+ ton tanks are suitable choice for those mountainous area .probably tosan or sayyad or our t72z will be more suitable but in Eastern area I don't see why this upgrade can't be useful but yes for financial reason I also have my doubts
