		The FV101 Scorpion is a British light tank, part of the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) or, CVR(T) family.
		Intended to be a fast and air-transportable reconnaissance vehicle, the Scorpion is built from mainly aluminium armour and mounts a L23A1 76 mm gun firing HE, HESH, Smoke, and Canister rounds.
		The Scorpion has been withdrawn from service (the chief reason being that the 76mm gun had no fume extractor and could suffocate the crew if the vehicle was closed down for NBC protection).

	Missing Links AFV Club British CVR(T) FV101 Scorpion Review
		The Scorpion is now available from AFV Club, and is basically the same kit as the Revell version with the advantage of being priced the same as the Scimitar and noticeably cheaper than the Revell version which usually costs UK modellers £23.50 or so at full price.
		AFV Club's Scorpion kit does include two types of sprocket and idler, and apart from the box it has a new instruction sheet which is similar to but not identical to the Scimitar version, even where the construction is the same.
		Scorpion, Scimitar and Sabre by John Prigent (Museum Ordnance Special 23) has many useful photos of all three vehicles, mostly in their later forms and not with the early style of bins as in the kit.

	viewdetail
		The FV101 Scorpion was designed as a replacement for the six wheeled Saladin Armoured Car to provide forward reconnaisance.
		Two of the design criteria were that it should be light enough to be carried in a Hercules aircraft and narrow enough to travel between the rubber trees in Malaya.
		After the war it was considered that the amount of smoke produced in the turret when the gun was fired was a health and safety risk.

	Scorpion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Scorpion is armed with a 76mm gun, which can fire cannister, HE or HESH.
		Scorpions most came to note in the Falklands war, being (apart from some Centurion Beach RVs) the only armor brought by the Task Force (Two Scorpions and two Scimitars (30mm Rarden)).If memory serves, the Scorpion holds the record for the worlds fastest tank.
		The original 76mm Gun Scorpion is now out of service with the British Army, they took the turrets off the Fox armored cars (Which were too top-heavy), put them onto the Scorpion chassis, and gave them the thermal imagers of the withdrawn Chieftan tanks.

	[No title]
		One vehicle was to be a light reconnaissance vehicle designed to replace the FV101 Scorpion (especially the FV107 Scimitar member of the FV101 family).
		The mast-mounted sensor package of the first vehicle was retained, but three electro-optical viewing systems were integrated in the front of the vehicle to enable it to be operated when closed up.
		The second vehicle was based on the Alvis Stormer, a vehicle heavily based on the FV101 Scorpion technology.

	CVR(T) - ARRSEpedia
		The Sabre is the Scorpion fitted with old Fox CVR(W) turret.
		The 76mm gun in the Scorpion was a development of a 3" weapon originally developed for gunboats; possibly the same ones from the bowels of which the predeccesor of the Chieftain engine was hauled.
		Export-only variants include Scorpion 90, with a 90mm Belgian Cockerill AT gun, and various tweaked and rearmoured variants of Scorpion and Scimitar.

	FV721 Fox - Archived 8/1998
		As the British Army retires its Fox inventory, the complete turret will be taken from some of the vehicles, refurbished and integrated with an as yet unspecified number of re-engined and upgraded chassis of the FV101 Scorpion.
		The new vehicle is called Sabre; further details will be found in the FV101 Scorpion report in Tab B of this book.

	Chilean Armor
		Most of the old M24 and M50 tanks fitted with the IMI HVMS60 high speed cannon and the modernized 105mm upgunned M-51 Ishermans were retired and stored in operational conditions because of their potential fighting power.
		Other items in the operational inventory include revamped M-41 light tanks, Scorpions and IFV based on upgunned M113 and the locally produced Mowag Piraña wheeled platform.
		Like most former Dutch Leopards, it was upgraded with the Honeywell/Zeiss EMES-12A3 AFSL-2 computarized fire control system with laser rangefinder coupled with an improved Honeywell 2 axis gun stabilization system and optionally also to the TEM-2A stereoscopic/coincidence rangefinder.

		You're thinking about the FV101 Scorpion, which weighs ~8 tonnes.
		Nevertheless, to put that into perspective the Stryker APC weighs 6.95 tonnes.
		Any Iranian variant will probably weigh more, as instead of something like the post-WWII Scorpion they'll want something closer to an actual modern light tank, like the ASCOD Pizarro light tank variant.
