Fath Safir

The Fath Safir (Persian: سفیر; Arabic: سَفِيْر, romanizedSafīr, meaning "traveler") is an Iranian 4x4 multipurpose military vehicle built by Fath Vehicle Industries. The Safir weighs 1.5 tons and is based off of the M38.

It has been supplied to Iraq via Iranian-allied militias and locally-made under license in Sudan due to its inexpensiveness and ability to be mass produced in large quantities.

The Safir was officially unveiled in 2008. In the ceremony, Iranian defense minister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar stated that 3,000 Safirs were built in that year, and Fath Vehicle Industries would deliver 5,000 more vehicles to defense industry per year. The jeep was seen in public media outside of Iran with its use by Iranian-backed militias fighting against Islamic State forces.

Sudan makes the Safir under license as the Karaba VTG01, which was publicly shown to visitors at the IDEX 2013 convention in the United Arab Emirates.

Several variants of the Safir was made throughout its history, being:
