Iran to unveil new armored military vehicle
2019-07-17
[ALMASDARNEWS] Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
is preparing to unveil their new armored military vehicle that was manufactured inside the Islamic Theocratic Republica, Minister of Defense Brigadier General Amir Hatami said on Sunday.

According to the Tansim News Agency, Hatami said that the Iranian military had signed contracts with Iranian carmakers to manufacture the critical auto parts whose production has been hampered after the withdrawal of foreign contractors from Iran.

In November 2018, the Defense Ministry unveiled a homegrown armored military vehicle, dubbed Toofan (hurricane).

The armored, mine resistant and ambush protected vehicle has been designed to carry out logistical and combat missions in the theater.

Toofan has been delivered to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force.

The four-wheel drive truck is protected against land mines and improvised bombs (IEDs) with explosion power of several kilograms of TNT equivalent.
The high mobility multipurpose truck is also resistant to steel-core bullets and can move in difficult terrain, drive through 1.5 meters of water and climb barriers as high as 50 centimeters.

Probably not 'off-road-ready'.

#1  Something about the phrase 'cutting edge of Iranian technology' fails to inspire confidence.
