South America's Newest AFV | The Centauro 2 is going to Brazil! 

Very quite. Until the Leos be upgraded and/or a new MBT be acquired, Centauros II will be the most advanced and capable armored vehicles of Brazilian Army.

Cascavel has not the same function of the Centauro... It is not a replacement!!

@@thiagoribeiro-nq3tm I think he meant that centauro will be the most advanced vehicle Brazil will operate.

@@thiagoribeiro-nq3tm I dont said that Cascavel is the most capable. I didn't even mentioned Cascavel. I said that CENTAURO II will be the most advanced armored vehicle of Brazilian Army until the Leos 1A5 modernization or replacement.

@@golffoxtrot3571 yeah, but the cascavel was not the most advanced vehicle in brazil... by far

Allthough Brazil has/had (they never changed the number from what ther originally purchased, a number are definately written off by now) about 400 EE-9s, only about 110 are actually in operation in the units. The rest is reserves spread over the units. 98 is pretty much the the little reduced number of EE-9s in active operation. The 221 B2s would mean that Brazil would actually get about 120 B2s as reserves unless they start adding more cavalry units. But considering the current build schedule, those 221 B2s would take until like 2060 to 2070 to get built sadly.

@@blasekiller9733 As far as I knew, Brazil had originally 600 EE-9, and in 2010 409 were operational and 98 were being modernized. About only 110 being operational I never heard of it.

@@henryquecabral9357 basicaly, they bought 409 from Engesa at the time in total. Then you just start looking at the regiments and squadrons that actually use EE-9s and their organisation. Both cavalry regiment and squadron each operate a set number of EE-9s in platoons. Put those together and you get to the number in active service, whcih was around 110-ish. I did the calculation for a future article to be released on Tanks Encyclopedia.

I checked my article, brazil has combined 23 cavalry regiments and squadrons. Each of these has 3 platoons in which each platoon has a section of 2 EE-9s, meaning 6 EE-9s in a regiment/platoon atleast in active operation. Multiply this by the amount of regiments and squadrons and you have 138 EE-9s in active use (correction from my 110) and the rest is reserves.

@@blasekiller9733 Thank you so much for your research! Do you have a link for your article? Sounds very interesting.

Yeah. now we have arguably the best 8x8 in the world

Not exactly, Centauro is not a tank, not specifically, the centauro is an armored troop transport vehicle, they will not replace the Leopards, but the Cascavels, it's not a tank.

@@caninon7570 There are plans to replace the entire tank fleet with light vehicles in case the program to acquire new MBTs fail. The required specs for the new MBT have been posted for a while now but last I checked there haven't been any bids for the contract and ideias to replace all MBTs with light armored vehicles like the Centauro started poping up. The problem is that thanks to our infrastrocture we can't have vehicles over 50t like Leopard 2 and Abrams. So far the only MBT that fits the requirements is the Type 10 but that one off the table since Japan can't export military hardware, Russian style vehicles are also off the table.

It at any angle. Other "guns" of FSV ( good try but seriously, let's try to find a single english word to translate autoblindo, please) even in 105mm are either low or medium pressure. B-2 is just a further evolution of the vehicle, in some day even less brilliant than the original ( i.e. it's way taller and bulky due the need to have a protection against mines)

Sério?

Me conte mais, não sabia disso

Cara nós podemos facilmente fabricar a carroceria do astro aqui no Brasil, não precisamos da Mercedes.

@@ArnaldoBART @IGORMSH Sério, a carroceria mudou pra Tatra porque a Alemanha proibiu a Mercedes de vender as carrocerias deles pra armas, eles devem ter requerimentos de que essas carrocerias só sejam usadas pra logística.

@@carlos6116cs Agora que a Tatra abriu uma fábrica no Brasil, eles tem o conhecimento pra fazer as carrocerias aqui. Na década de 80 a Avibras pensou em fazer as carrocerias aqui e não tinha o conhecimento necessário, apesar de tentar. Não foi a primeira escolha deles importar. E de lá pra cá não teve nenhuma evolução no setor automobilístico no Brasil que signifique que hoje seria possível alguma empresa nacional fabricar essas carrocerias.

Engesa Osório.

Mehh I'd place the Osorio in the same category as the C1 Ariete. Not the heaviest armored MBTs out there. The Osorio is very light at 44 tons.

@@dwwolf4636But obviously, it is light, as it was manufactured in the 80s, when the abrams was also lighter, the difference today is that the abrams continues to be used, and modernized, while the osorium was not mass produced, as the Arabs ended up buying the Abrams instead of the Osorium, and Engesa went bankrupt, but if it was still being produced, it would be much heavier, modernized, it would be on par with the Abrams and Leopard, in fact, the Osorium systems were the best at the time☺

​@@bain1d431Fair. But the weight it starts in limits the weight it ends in. It'll never be as well- protected as an M1.

The Centauro 2 IS the 8x8 Guarani. Iveco developed this specifically for the Brazilian specification, which means as much commonality with the 6x6 Guarani as possible. That was the objective of the 8x8 concept in the Guarani program.

Larga de ser chorão, quando fazem alguma coisa sempre tem um mer... pra reclamar

@@melquizorobabelcalais7724 único que tá chorando aqui é você, Cabral. Toda escolha tem seus prós e contras.

@@rafaelschipiura9865 Centauro 2 was developed with Italian army specifications in mind to replace the B1 Centauro. Having said that, they are both part of an "enlarged family" and are linked to the same development line starting back with the B1, then the VBM Freccia and Guaranì (programs started in '98 and '99 respectively), SuperAV (on which the BAE ACV is based) and finally the Centauro 2. The Centauro 2 (and the SuperAV) enjoyed technology input from both the Freccia and Guaranì (eg. the H trasmission and the hull of the Centauro 2 are very much an evolution of B1 and Freccia, where the amphibious capability of the SuperAV are very much linked to the Guaranì development) and I'm sure that the Brasilian Centauros will have an high level of customization to respond to Brasilian requirements (and, indeed, already now a good portion of component used in the B2 were developed for the Guaranì, but this is mainly due to an industrial choice on the Iveco/Leonardo part and predate the Brasilian requirements, as I'm sure there are common component between Freccia and Guaranì for the same exact reason).

@@R00sc0 I don't mean more than the fact that it was developed after the Brazilian Army had this concept ready to go and that their input was incorporated into the project. I don't mean that the Guaraní was used as a base or that there was much technology incorporated into the project.

they are just buying them, so brazil is getting an italian subtree i think

@@nonsoboh16ita82he means in war thunder

Problem with buying the boxer is that you would mainly buy it for being multi purpose. The issue is that Brazil already has the Guarani 6x6 for this and only really needs the 8x8 for FSV duties, as such, better to go with a dedicated vehicle (especially consifering the Guarani and the B2 have a 29% parts commonality from the start)

This seems particularly weird to say with the ChiComs being the one sure power of the future.

@@yum9918 The ChiComs are evil, barbaric and cannot be trusted. They are a blight of this planet akin to smallpox and need to be eradicated. The horrors and corruption of communism is the reason why all such states rot from the inside and eventually implode. The long suffering Chinese people deserve to be liberated and given back their freedom. The government of Taiwan is there as a shining example of what is possible. Just ready and waiting to step in and fill the role to lead a united China. The CCP must be held accountable and charged with crimes against humanity.

Good idea

Probably goes to Uruguay or Argentina

ENGESA sold some to Congo, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and so on, but after decades of civil wars on those regions they were destroyed, so some African Warlords ended up improvising technicals with EE-9's turrets and some of the armor plates. They are not the best options for urban warfare, but they can be very effective in a open field.

@@carloshenriquezimmer7543 true

Not much higher than all yhe other APCs these days. All to survive an IED basicaly.

Concordo

Algumas unidades do Cascavel vão ser modernizadas com mísseis antitanque e o restante acho que vai ser doado para países amigos

they sold it to more than 17 countries!

@@thiagoribeiro-nq3tm Ah I meant the ones they currently have!

@@fraservickers1257 The current Cascavel's are going to be modernized, ATGMs and Thermals.

Well, they are modernizing it, issue is that you can only do so much on a platform calculated for 13 tonnes and with an age of 50 years. Regarding a new vehicle. The main issue is that Brazil has lost its defence industry in the 90s. So much so that they had to get the Italians in to help design and build their wheeled APC. The simple issue is that the knowledge isnt there nor any company capable of taking such a program on.

@@blasekiller9733 The main issue is interest. The thing is that the army doesn't care about being actually good and independent, that's why our defence is dependent on foreigners since foerever. We had more than 80 years to start to develop and produce national armoured vehicles, but they just wasted all of it.

I think Brazil's 6x6 Guarani's hull can do this for a lower price. There are plenty of Guaranis in Brazilian army without even a machine gun on top. Brazil also purchased this year the Spike LR-2 ATGM.
