Guarani Wheeled Amphibious Fighting Vehicle goes to the "Center for Instruction"



via F.J.Brazil.
The Center for Instruction Armored "General Walter Smith" (CIBld) received on June 26, its first Vehicle Armored Personnel Carrier - Medium on Wheels Guarani, developed based on one of the seven strategic projects of the Brazilian Army, in partnership Iveco now Brazil.
The Guarani is an armored personnel carrier, amphibious, able to carry up to 11 soldiers. It has protective anti - mines under the wheels, bucket seats and harness, also has safety belt 5 tips. Its ballistic protection shield is composed of shots of 7.62 mm and shrapnel artillery 155 mm.
I'm sitting on a hilltop beating the hell out of this drum...but the Brazilian's have selected designed a new wheeled amphibious vehicle and got it into production in less time than it took the USMC to get either an AAV replacement or a Marine Personnel Carrier together.

And you wonder why I think Amos should go?

    It looks right too, if you get my drift.

    Brazilian, Turkish, and SIngaporean kit all looks (feels) similar to me. Just enough new tech with just enough pragmatism. The trouble with US kit just lately is that it is the exact opposite; too much tech and not enough pragmatism.
