What is the name of this Russian armored dune buggy?

If no company can make the SEAL DPV into a kit, there's always this option, not to mention the video above...

What's the green thing in the background behind the unarmoured buggy? Looks a bit like a short wheelbase Tiger.

Thanks, Henri. Somehow that armored buggy reminds me of the NOD rocket buggies in "Command and Conquer" video game.

I can see that armored dune buggy being valuable in airborne assault and Special Forces operations. I wouldn't mind a kit of either armored or unarmored versions (armed, of course).
