They're pretty much worthless in a realistic setting that sees state-of-the-art war material thrown about.
On the other hand, they're pretty much exaggerated versions of what we appear to have seen in terms of improvised military vehicles in the latest series of middle eastern clusterfucks.

Think they can be modified to be realistic? Azenyanistan is thinking of putting to use GLA assets.

As for the reusing of GLA assets, is your military that poor? Are you basically an African Warlord of some sort? Even the most poor of national militaries seem to operate to some degree more modernized versions of Soviet land assets (which admittedly are superior to their Western Counterparts in terms of sheer amount and ruggedness though crew survivability is never planned for over weapons and maneuverability capabilities). I mean, if you really want to try and be fancy, try to buy even a small division of Leopards or Chieftans. Those will get you a lot further along than any metal abominations from the GLA.
Mind you, for transport vehicles, BMP's and BTR's make excellent candidates and in all honesty you'd be better off using one of them than a group of Technicals. AA trucks can be kept, but you might want to look into at least having one or two radar-assisted SPAA present near your valuable assets to aid in protecting them from enemy air assets. Moreover, radar-guided Mobile SAM's are even better and a vehicle using them both (like mighty Tunguska) gives you optimal coverage in both areas. Again though, you'll need to be careful when using them.
Now, to touch on the Scorpion and Marauder Tanks? They appear to be rather inter-war period tanks, the Scorpion looking like some abomination of a French or Russian design and the Marauder appearing to be more Russian or British in design. The rather unimpressive turret of the latter and its long flat chassis hailing to the ancient Churchill tanks of the English Armor during the early years of WWII. On that note, drop the idea of using them, in spite of what childhood sentiment they may hold and go with anything from WWII which will likely be measures better.

What is important to remember is that Tunguska is over thirty years old. It is being replaced with the Pantsir-S1 system.
