(This isnt the TAMIAS, but shows the AUS1 turret with the HJ-12 ATGMs)

Kazakhstan’s TAMIAS 8x8 ifv could come to the Soviet tech-tree as Kazakhstan is a former USSR member.

The TAMIAS uses a ARMA 8x8 hull from Turkey and the AUS1 turret from China. The turret is armed with 3 weapon systems. A 100mm ZPL04 cannon (used on the ZBD04A) , 30mm ZLB02 cannon (used on the ZBD04A) and x2 HJ-12 atgms with more in storage. The HJ-12 are IR guided top attack ATGMs (basically Chinese Spikes).

So why for USSR tech-tree? As I said before the tech-tree is called “USSR” and Kazakhstan is a former USSR nation. This would also allow the USSR to get a fire and forget top attack ATGM without having to add “NATO vehicles” such as the Czech Pandur II or the Freccia that Russia tested back in 2010-2012. Both of which many people didnt seem happy about as an option.
