Today's "Odd Tank" is the 🇨🇭Swiss 'HS.30 90mm Bord K'

Built in the late 1950's, this light tank was developed by Hispano-Suiza and based on the hull of the HS.30. The Light Tank was being developed for Germany, but the design would not be accepted. Only 2 are known to have been built.

The main weapon is a 90mm Panzerabwehrkanone 57.

Surprisingly, Sudan has a domestic arms industry running since the 1980s, even able to put up vehicles for export. Seen here is a “Khatim-4” ATGM carrier based on BMP-1 or ZBD-86. Less surprisingly, Sudan hasn’t seen much export success.

Today's "Odd Tank" is the 🇨🇳Chinese 'ZSD85/SW1'

Created in the 2000's, this vehicle is based on the Type 85 APC and is equipped with the SW1 turret system. The turret was created by NORINCO as a modular upgrade for light armored vehicles.
It features a 30mm ZPT-99 autocannon and four anti tank missile launchers which fire the Red Arrow 8 missile (HJ-8).
