Toyota HiAce, Multiple Launch Rocket System Version!
This might be one of the craziest modifications ever done to a minibus or van. The Toyota HiAce 5th generation—commonly known as an intercity and interprovincial travel vehicle—has been transformed by Middle Eastern militias (possibly in Syria or Iraq) into a 122mm caliber MLRS platform with seven launch tubes.
By cutting off part of the vehicle’s roof, the MLRS has to be aimed manually, and it seems difficult to conduct a salvo firing. The rear luggage compartment (rear door) must also be opened when the MLRS is fired, so the vehicle does not catch fire due to the extremely powerful backblast from the 122mm rockets.

🇨🇭 Swiss Oerlikon GDF D03 35mm
Based on the HYKA wheeled truck which was similar to the Hunslet ATT77 towing vehicle in size.
The vehicle had adjustable suspension allowing it to tilt to remain level on uneven ground and could adjust tire pressure. It has 4-wheel steering to allow for extremely tight turn radius.
It mounts the Oerlikon GDF twin 35mm autocannon mount with 430 rounds, both D03 and C03 used the ADATS radar system which would detect aerial targets up to 20km away.
With a weight of 24.2t and 450hp engine, it was capable of reaching speeds up to 120kph.
