this thing will fall apart and fuck up like their other shit lmao
Not really, it is a very sturdy light tank and was used very successfully by the Artesh and now Iran produces its own version equipped with Toophan ATGM. It is good for urban combat and if used properly is very agile and took out even heavier Iraqi T55/62 on the Mehran-Mandali front. Primarily used for reconnaissance and quick reaction forces.

The Tosan (also written Towsan, meaning “wild horse” or “fury”) is an Iranian made light tank, for unconventional warfare and field reconaissance.
Iran calls it a “Quick Reaction” tank because the tank is capable of rapid response and is built for strategic missions. It is an upgraded and up armored version the British FV101 Scorpion (where Iran has over 100 in service); the tank is fitted with a 90 mm gun, Toophan
missile launchers, and improved firing and targeting systems. The tank can drive long distances on its tracks and does not need to be carried on tank transporters.
