Japanese electronics company Elekit is selling a model tank that is operated via a wireless remote control and fires off infrared “cannons”.

Up to four of the so-called “Battle Titan” tanks (size: 150×90×165mm) can be controlled simultaneuously, engaging each other in battle. When firing cannons, the battery-powered tanks recoil and make a shooting sound. Users have to hit an enemy tank four times in a row to win the game.

Elekit is targeting children 10 years and older with the Battle Titan. It’s Japan-only at this point and costs $38.
