you got the answer right, if you look closely, the other prominent feature that can be seen is the Cuppola, as the regular KV 1 has no cuppola on its turret if you can notice the flat top on its turret cept for the periscopes 
the thread is yours sir
@gumalangi, re. Spanish monster, no problem, not least because you are bang-on. This vehicle was a result of the reluctance of the Madrid government (increasingly Communist-dominated) to allocate tanks received from the Soviet Union to Catalan Anarchists. Consequently, the Catalans attempted to harness the engineering capacities of Barcelona (not inconsiderable) to manufacture Catalan-built tanks and armored cars. The results were, in limited terms, generally successful, although the engineering firms involved were severely hampered by their inexperience in building armored vehicles. In terms of impact on the battlefield, this was minimal. Catalan-produced armored vehicles were manufactured only in handfuls, and were generally undergunned, under-armored and poor in deployability and maneuverability. Easy meat, in any case, for any half-decent antitank gun - although they might have been useful against the âlittle tanksâ, the PzKpfw Is that made up the vast bulk of the limited tank force available to the Nationalists. I should give up, really ⌠Best regards, JR.
Thank you, Mr.Gumalangi!
Ok, what can this thing be?
Pretty obscure, but I think I have it. Could it be the Motomitragliatrice dâassalto blindata MIAS-ANSALDO, a very strange armored âvehicleâ produced by Fiat-Ansaldo apparently as a speculative âcommercial tanketteâ in the 1920s. I use the term âtanketteâ with some reservations. Ansaldo themselves described it as a âlittleâ (âpiccoloâ) powered armored vehicle guided by a man on foot. I kid you not. If you could see this MIAS from the back, you would see that it doesnât have one. Nor does it have a bottom. The single âcrewmanâ crouched within the open-backed vehicle from the shelter of which he controlled the movement of the thing and operated the armament as he walked, or stumbled, forward. I suppose that, rather than a tankette, one should describe this as a self-propelled machine-gun carrier/mobile pillbox. Doubt whether the âcrewmenâ would have felt very safe or comfortable. I do not know whether Ansaldo managed to sell many of these oddities; certainly, I am not aware of it having been used in combat, anywhere. Probably just as well ⌠Best regards, JR.
Right you are, Mr. JR!
This is indeed the Ansaldo âMIASâ, and it was just as ludicrous an idea as you described.
Your turn to post!
What about this thing ? JR.
Soukou sagyou ss-ki
Bang on, Mr G. Japanâs much appreciated (at least by the Japanese) armored, tracked utility vehicle, capable of battlefield functions ranging from mine-clearance and eliminating barbed wire (not the peculiar claws) to ⌠flame-throwing. This was a case of a vehicle that did exactly what it said on the tin, in the sense that it was quite reasonably capable of doing everything it was originally designed to do. It was used as a flame-throwing platform in China (very successfully, it seems), but not for some reason in the Pacific. The Americans seem first to have encountered them in the Philippines (return match); they made a pretty good initial appreciation, classifying it as a âflamethrower tankâ (even though there is no indication that it was used for that purpose outside China), but also recognizing its other capacities. All yours. Best regards, JR.
Hmm⌠Russian or American?
Seems kind of light⌠Maybe airborne?
I wonât say what it is, but will say itâs crews are noted for their funny looking hats and t-shirts!
Heh. Really? No takers? I mean at this point itâs pretty clear we all know weâre talking about this little thing:
Funny hats indeed!
T-shirts⌠not that much at the time, but huge now, retroactively. Agricultural and industrial implements on t-shirts just sell really well nowadays, for some reason.
you got most of the clues are right 
I know what it is as well, there isnât much fun getting it right all the time though.
I also donât have anything to offer up, so giving the right answer doesnât help me much.
Still expected to see these into the 1980âs
why beat a dying fish man :),.
with only few actives members,. lets just exchanging knowledge,. from this simple quiz
i keen to know more on strange arsenals,. quiz is one of the way to rise the self inquiry 
Because you insist, its the ASU-57.
It is, indeed 
And speaking of this series, the best looking of the bunch is probably ASU-85, although ASU-76 is not too bad eitherâŚ
Oh, and please note how the suspension is almost an exact copy of that of the Czech LT vz. 38/Panzerkampfwagen 38(t), only without the rear idler. The soviets sure know a good design when they see one.
Cant recall seing this beasty before, Chassis makes it obvious where to look though.
