Any factions other than the KSA and UAE fighting against the Houthies?

   The Ministry of Defense has approved a new concept for the development of armored vehicles. For all light combat vehicles (infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and armored cars) a new maximum caliber is chosen - 57 mm. Such guns are strong in their versatility. They can not only destroy tanks, but also shoot down drones. /.../

   Light armored vehicles with 57-mm cannons will gain an advantage over other combat vehicles of the same class.

Probably Tornado K-53958 or variant of it.

I made a model of the T-34M:

Astute viewers will notice that the commander's cupola is wrong - it's supposed to be a T-50 cupola rather than the T-34/85 model I stuck on.

 

Rivet counters will notice that the exhausts don't have the crazy bolt arrangement they should have (and are kind of the wrong shape), the front hooks are missing, the radio antenna is missing, the hull periscopes are missing, and that the turret periscopes are of the wrong type.

Why'd they switch the driver and bow gunner?

For the inevitable conquest of the UK, they will have their drivers on the proper side!

Not Aramta, IIRC T-90-derived chassis.
