    Photos have emerged of a homemade tank built by Syrian rebels in their fight against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.

    Named the The Sham II, the vehicle was assembled using the chassis of an old diesel car and other parts salvaged from a junkyard. The contraption is wrapped in 2,5cm thick steel, and is also topped with a machine gun and five cameras.

    The Atlantic Wire describes the tank’s interior as a “man cave.” That’s because flat screens help the driver navigate and the shooter aim – using a remote that looks awfully similar to a PlayStation controller. For a closer look, check out the pictures below.

    The Sham II took a month to build, and was designed by Al-Ansar rebel brigade member Mahmud Abud and his brother. The cost of building one of these is roughly R87 000, and will soon be deployed to Aleppo.
