I can't find the video now but there was a vid on youtube somewhere of hte prototype negotiating Russias famously terrible roads, and *not getting stuck at all*.

I saw this and immediately invisioned it as a variation on the JS3 or 2. With infrared spotlight of course. And at least one machine gun position in the front.

What do you think?
