In May, the Iranian military tested the Fallagh tank for the first time during the Beit-ul-Moqaddas 28 war game. But the term “tank” is pushing it. The Fallagh is more a tracked, armored battle buggy with a 12.7-millimeter DShK machine gun bolted onto the top. Iranian army Gen. Masoud Reza Zawarei told Mashregh News — an agency affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps — that the Fallagh “has incredible power considering its weight and is very quick.”

And, it would be a lot cheaper.
I wonder how well they’ll do under a cluster bomb drop?
In May, the Iranian military tested the Fallagh tank .............................................. I wonder if the Israelis will refer to this as the Fagellah tank?
Are they serious????
The fellatio tank!
Feel sorry for the man on the machine turret. He is completely exposed.
Probably doesn't even have a transistor radio. I hear if it goes too fast it blows the candles used for headlights out.
Sort of looks like Iran was able to hack into GM's Pontiac Aztec design documents.
Thank you for the image. Do you believe it can go 80 mph on the road?
It’s a tracked and armed UTV (Ultra-light tactical vehicle).
The US Army and other militaries have (or are testing) similar (wheeled) open “buggies” for recon missions.

I see nothing ridiculous... for specific missions such light vehicles can be useful.
hauled on a flatbed no less...
Looks perfect for rush hour traffic.
The Iranians probably got the design from BHO/HRC. The article states that it looks eerily similar to a US Army prototype of an unmanned combat escort vehicle.
It has five gears...4 in reverse and one forward just in case the enemy attacks from the rear.
((((OLD Joke, I know, but it came instantly to my mind when I saw the picture.))))
Hell, a guy with an M240 mounted on motocross bike handlebars would be just as well off.
The original driver was an all red uniform and no sidearm.
In reality, the HISS tank looks like a death trap with it being tall and open turret.
