In case you're wondering, the Tiam MBT is a bizarre modernizated M47M of the Iranian army, with a heavily modified Type 59/69 turret (itself based on the Safir 74, another weird Iranian modernized T-55/Type 69 with American 105 mm gun and components) and with ERA/applique NERA on it. I commissioned this because I like how bizarre this thing looks, nothing more.

To clarify the unfortunate delivery timing, I contacted the artist as far back as August, though he is quite busy at that time. So it's kinda bummer that this will be inevitably linked with current events.

Definitely an interesting look. If you said it was a fictional tank from some sci-fi series, I'd probably have believed it.
