On November 25th 2022, the Brazilian Army selected the B2 Centauro as their new Fire Support Vehicle under the VBC CAV program (Viatura Blindada de Combate Cavalaria). This marks a new milestone for the Brazilian Army, as it will not only operate fire support vehicles for the very first time, but also mark a significant step towards a modern Brazilian Army. The Brazilian Army currently plans to acquire 98 B2’s, of which 78 are to be assembled locally, in order to replace their current fleet of EE-9 Cascavels.

    The inicial plan is 98 Centauro II but It can be increased to 221 Units

    I'm happy to see the Centauro 2 being chosen, but part of me is sad that we'll never see the 8x8 Guarani ifv version being fielded.

    The best there is. Thanks God the chinese one didn't have a chance! 😅

    Looks like that'll be a great acquisition for Brazil. Really love the way modern wheeled armour is proliferating. Some great advantages over tracked vehicles depending on the use case.
  • I am happy that centauro won because IVECO has its headquarters in my city and this contract could make them a bunch of money :)
  • @Simo-xj8ln
    It's a great news to the Brazilian Army, our tanks are obsolete and we need a new design
  • @Marcellogo
    Some points: saying that Centauro was pourposely build to be a FSV is an hell of understatement. Centauro was pourpousely build to have the same high pressure gun used on MBT and to be able to use

    Essa parceria vai longe isso e respeito e confiança, depois que Alemanha proibiu a venda da Mercedez para os Sistema Astro acho que Alemanha não leva nunca mais aqui

    A excellent video. I'll just point out that "Nova Couraça" was the denomination of the taskgroup in charge of the preliminary studies to the modernization of armored vehicles of Brazilian Army. When the program was approved by Army Staff, the name stuck for a period, but was changed, when both programs, Nova Couraça and Guarani, were merged in one Strategic Program called "Forças Blindadas" (Armored Forces) which encompass all vehicles described in video (EE-9, Leo 1A5 mods and VBCav [Centauro II], IFV, MBT and SP Arty acquisitions). At last, it should be noted that with Centauro II acquisition, EE-9 modernization will be reassessed based on costs, because it should not exceed 30% of the acquistion cost of a new Centauro II.
  • Surely it's a good choice, hoping that some politicians won't mess with it. Centaur's hull could be used also for others vehicles, such as mortar/AT missiles carriers, command and support ones.
