Brazil is to procure a new main battle tank (MBT), infantry fighting vehicle (IFV), and self-propelled howitzer(SPH), Janes learnt at Defence iQ’s International Armoured Vehicles (IAV) 2023 conference held in London from 23 to 26 January. It is seeking 36 wheeled SPHs.
At the same time, Brazil plans to upgrade 52 of its Leopard 1A1 tanks starting in 2023, with a request for proposals to be made in June.
Brazil is also procuring hundreds of wheeled vehicles from Iveco. In November 2022, the Brazilian Army selected the Centauro II 8×8 armoured vehicle armed with a 120 mm gun from La Società Consortile Iveco – Oto Melara (CIO) as its Wheeled Medium Armoured Cavalry Vehicle (Viatura Blindada de Cavalaria Média Sobre Rodas).
