Iraqi Kurdistan SHIELD presents B70 25-ton tracked armored vehicle prototype

SHIELD (Duhok, Iraqi Kurdistan) unveiled a physical prototype of the B70, a 25-ton tracked armored vehicle claimed to be designed and built by Kurdish engineers. If real and fielded, it would represent a step up from the firm’s prior lighter APCs toward heavier tracked armor, though the post notes the prototype is unfinished and the AI-heavy presentation raises questions about maturity.
