There's absolutely no way they'd get that thing homologated here.

You know that there will be these guys who go through hoops and burn money to somehow import them.

They can import them as much as they want (though I'd rather they didn't), without street certification they'll be able to drive it on private property, but not on our streets.

Might want a Western one, I've heard the Russian ones like to explode and toss their turret when hut by a Cybertruck.
