Sayyad AFV is an Iranian light multi-purpose tracked armored vehicle, sometimes describes as "Quick reaction tank". The overall design is similar to that of British FV101 Scorpion and it is often mistaken as Tosan. However there are some major differences between Sayyad and Scorpion. Sayyad is shorter in length than Scorpion and has one less road wheel. The hull is slightly redesigned and storage baskets are also added. There are two versions. One with single or double Toophan anti-tank missile launchers with six other missiles in storage baskets. The other one with two 23x launchers of 77mm rockets.[1][2]
The vehicle's use is intended to provide a fast platform for anti-tank missiles and small artillery rockets. They entered service in 2010.[3]
