It's the "timmony" (of similar) Armoured car made in Ireland, supposed to have been terrible.

It looks like a 76 mm Scorpion turret on something that is half-way between Staghound and Fox ...

I don't see the relation:

Silly question, but is it amphibious?

Somewhat correct.  Can you elaborate?

Indeed, it is the Timoney Mk 1 ARV (Armoured Reconnaissance Vehicle), armed with the Alvis Scorpion CVR(T) 76mm turret.  Timoney built 2 prototypes and Tanzania purchased the production rights and built an undisclosed number in country during the 1970s.

Dammit, I can't see Ironduke's photo!

 

[REDinstaller]

And here I thought the Technoviking was Kreskins Father,  ;D

 

[vonGarvin]

Now I can see the photo.  It's not a SMERCH.  (9K 58 in Russian Terms).  The Smerch ("Tornado") has 12 launching tubes, and the tires on the vehicle don't match up.
