Amusing though it might look, this vehicle seems to mount a Soviet SPG-9 rocket-gun, essentially the same 73mm weapon as the BMP-1 IFV.  A small initial charge launches the round about 20m downrange, at which point the rocket motor kicks in and carries it to the 800m effective range.  The warhead is effectively that of the RPG-7, though the range is much longer.  If the only car you've got is a Trabant, there are worse ways if moving a 60kg weapon

Think that's a Charioteer, the first vehicle shown in the firing display?

And watching the Saladin shell all the way to target is pretty cool
