Gentleman, I think we've found out the name of these two AFVS that were sighted briefly during a MODLEX expo a couple weeks back. I mentioned this on an armored warfare forum and one of the posters there compared the tracked APC to a BMD-like vehicle which in turn might suggest an air-mobile role for this vehicle.

First four pictures are off the tracked APC, last two are of the Sarir.

they look sort of primitive.
but look is not everything.
the sarir look pretty good any way.
is sarir btr-60

The tracks seem thinner. That would signify that the speed id this tracked vehicle is relatively high for its class. But the downside would be that this vehicle cannot perform very well in soft sand off road territories as well.

We don't have complete views of these vehicles yet but they both seem to be of "light class" of armored personnel carriers and most likely designed for Rapid Reaction Forces and as such they must be easily transported with Iranian transport cargo aircrafts in mind.

How do we know one of them is not just one of the various boraq variants?

Neither of them match the description of a Boragh; the Sarir is wheeled the tracked APC is described as "ultra-light" (you can see the relative size difference between it and the Boragh in the pictures posted above)

Brother catsoo,

Can you elaborate on what is an SCR and what this means. Thanks.

Well, it can be of variety of technologies. A guided rocket is a smart rocket.

A similar technology is this:

I can't fault you for that, it's extremely difficult to orient yourself with those pictures, however once you do, each photo is like a little piece of a larger puzzle even if the individual pieces are of little help.

The first photo reveals the front left-side of the tracked AFV, you can see the TOW on the Boragh behind it.

The second photo is of the front, left-corner of the tracked AFV, the important feature in this picture is the fact that the AFV uses vision blocks for the driver rather then periscopes like on the BMP or M113.

The third picture shows the rear, right-door on the tracked AFV, you can see the Boragh in the background. It shows the thickness and composition of the rear armor-arc.

The fourth picture shows the front, right portion of the tracked AFV. From this picture one can discern the width of the tracks, the size of the road wheels, that the drive sprocket is at the front, and the fact that the engine is fitted to the right of the hull, likely front-right.

The last two pictures show the right side of the Sariri. You cans see the heavy machine-gun turret in the upper-left corner of the picture. Also note the firing ports on the side.

Finally, HQ quality photos!

The tracked AFV is very short. Conceptually, it looks like a mash-up of the M113, Scorpion, and that one APC designed during the Iran-Iraq war that we saw several months ago, and even the BMD. I'd be interested to know it's actual dimensions, including weight because that would really frame it's mobility potential. The Sarir looks like a mashup of the BTR-60 and the Rakhsh; definitely closer in size to the latter.
