rdfs:comment
  • Sayyad AFV is an Iranian light, multi-purpose, tracked armored vehicle, sometimes described as a "quick reaction tank". The overall design is similar to that of the British FV101 Scorpion, and it is often mistaken as a Tosan tank. However, there are some major differences between the Sayyad and the Scorpion. The Sayyad is shorter in length than the Scorpion, and it has one less road wheel. The hull is slightly redesigned and storage baskets are also added.

abstract
  • Sayyad AFV is an Iranian light, multi-purpose, tracked armored vehicle, sometimes described as a "quick reaction tank". The overall design is similar to that of the British FV101 Scorpion, and it is often mistaken as a Tosan tank. However, there are some major differences between the Sayyad and the Scorpion. The Sayyad is shorter in length than the Scorpion, and it has one less road wheel. The hull is slightly redesigned and storage baskets are also added. There are two versions of the Sayyad. One with a single or double Toophan anti-tank missile launcher with six other missiles in storage baskets. The other with two 23x launchers of rockets. The vehicle is intended to be used to provide a fast platform for anti-tank missiles and small artillery rockets. It entered service in 2010.
