I think that I might have possibly thought that I might have read some where that it comes with an optional twin 36" blade pull-mower. |

I thought I'd already seen something on a US television show that was almost exactly the same. |

LOL tank used in the last GI Joe movie Thats totally what I was thinking. Seriously, did they hire a designer from Hasbro? They seem to truly be morphing into Cobra. |

Is it just me or does it look like something from the 30's? Tanks with extra MG turrets next? |

Nice to see those 30's-retro Tankettes making a comeback! -Will |

I just wonder who is busy looking at the Iranian Army's Org chart, perceives a deficiency in unarmored tracked reconnaissance vehicles with just an MG, and then actually drafts the requirements document that leads to this being built. I mean….obviously no one is sanity-checking that guy's work. That wheeled tank destroyer-looking turret on the BTR chassis in the background looks more useful. Should have written an article on *THAT*. |

Not a tankette, it's just a tracked vehicle. Wouldn't stop rifle or shell fragments. Look at the front mesh and the side slats, doesn't even have glass over the cockpit in that photo. For an off-road recon/combat vehicle, I'd imagine that the internals would get so caked with dust after running 25K that the engine may stall or the occupants would quit. |
