New BREM Centauro VCREC for the Spanish Army


July 29 2011 after the completion of tests conducted at the OTO Melara plant - a branch of the Italian company Iveco in Madrid, Spain ground forces replenished with four armored repair and recovery vehicles (BREM) Centauro VCREC. These engineering vehicles have become brand new models of the mobile wheeled armored vehicle family based on the popular Italian armored combat vehicle Centauro with the unchanged wheel formula 8х8, and their next delivery has become an additional evidence of the continued development of the Centauro series.

Weighing about 30 tons, the Centauro VCREC includes the Freccia chassis, crane, main and auxiliary winches, a blade / stabilizer and two machine guns for protection.

Spain has become not only the first, but so far the only customer and recipient of the new Centauro VCREC BREM. The contract for the development and further supply of four such machines for the Spanish army was signed in September 2007. The final assembly of the BREM was carried out at the Iveco plant in Madrid. New cars transferred to the light armored regiments of the Spanish army "Spain" and "Lusitania". Earlier, Spain purchased the Centauro armored 84 armored vehicles armed with 105 mm caliber guns.

    nice machine !!! By the way, the last photo shows a 105-mm Centauro, 2 of them, but with a 120mm cannon, are currently undergoing an introductory test in RUSSIA !!!! in a couple of months, two 8X8 Freccia will come (it is rumored that with a positive result, a trial batch of Centauro can be purchased -Freccia) but the Germans came up with a proposal for similar tests of their Boxer 8x8 armored personnel carriers in Russia

      Yes bullshit. To buy someone else's armored vehicles for Russia is generally some kind of nonsense. A service, and spare parts. There are enough of their own developments.

        Of course, this is nonsense, don’t believe it all.
        YES NO USH, as Medvedev said, there’s no need to buy junk if you can’t buy abroad (the green light is on)

          And how is it better than the BTR-80? ATGM and landmine of both will make a mass grave?

            there are definitely no chances in BTR, in these 60 to 40 in favor of survival
            Yes, for one thing it’s that I’d take a test batch of personnel’s survival rate

              60 on 40 in favor of survival

              If it doesn’t make it difficult, where do such conclusions come from?

              IHMO, BTR-80 can be upgraded to the same level: change the power plant, strengthen mine protection (which is still unlikely to help as well as on an imported sample) and apply combined armor. About all sorts of gadgets out there, you shouldn't talk at all - it's solved.

    Here to buy a couple, see what’s done, what are the pros and cons, and fire at the firing range. I fully support it.
    But it’s not worth making purchases for the army, we can get it that way !! Spare parts, oils, cartridges and end and edge will not be

        Where did you see that they can’t ?????? Our country takes the second place in the export of weapons, that means they can !! Our MO can’t really formulate requirements for manufacturers, but forgot to finance R&D!
        Our Moscow Region is trying to buy equipment in the West and integrate it into a modern combat system. Equipment built to western standards, to western weapons, to western fuel and lubricants.
        Our boys are fighting on the coffins, because our goons from Moscow region do not buy new equipment and protect the purchased equipment. If our Moscow region would pay a million dollars for the killed boy, then they would start to itch!
        This was clearly seen 080808. Even those weapons received in the army did not reach Ossetia, SAVE HERODES !!!

          then the first means - I don’t need to tell what the BTR-80 is - this is a close disc I know, I also know that it is stitched through and what happens to people inside
          second, in 2009, the Ministry of Defense instructed AMZ to develop a new armored personnel carrier (with a hinged rear ramp, etc.) and what we see is that ??? we are brought out the BTR-82 (what is it about, and the air conditioning system was finally installed and the stabilization system, well done) -Naturally, while AMZ received an order to manufacture 200 of these machines, but the military needs something else
          third-rednecks you say ????? And I WRITING WHERE HERE CONSTANTLY CELEBRATIVE SHOWERS OF A MAN THESE FROWS before the beginning of 2009 were ruled by our army (Ivanov, Moscow, Mikhailov, etc.) the armament program 2001-2010 went its course and everything was in order, everything was normally bought only ours

          fourth, your words -Even those weapons received in the army did not reach Ossetia, SAVE HERODES !!!
          ________________________________
          and now in more detail this is what kind of revolutionary things came into our army before the end of 2008 and didn’t get there ??? you can in more detail (before that, in one of the posts we examined the conflict in Ossetia in detail, so I’ll grieve the clashes between the 58 army and the Georgians were minimal, Exodus other factors decided to fight)

          PS and even forgot to say our paratroopers liked the French VBCI
          -can drive for testing (since you can’t get far on BMD-2)

            Well, if such a dance has gone then come on:
            1Spain has become not only the first, but so far the only customer and recipient of the new Centauro VCREC ARVs. 84 cars are not even a batch - this is small-scale production. Hence the conclusion: God forbid to get into a combat clash on this machine, spare parts for it are even rare for Spain !!!
            2 If you hypothetically consider a military conflict involving Russia, for example in Karabakh, using all kinds of new products (which our Defense Ministry is so actively lobbying for), imagine what a list of various junk for equipment (fuel, cartridges, shells, power supplies and repair kits) should be delivered for military operations. And if the embargo is announced to us or interruptions in delivery. It will be expensive scrap metal !!!! Therefore, all equipment must be released in Russia! Our goons from the Moscow region are squeezing money, so they buy a set of shit and collect it in Russia, and not like Indians buy everything, technology to the last screw !!
            3 Ossetia. I myself read how the pilots complained that they were not allowed into battle! Our famous "Sharks" were delivered to Budenovsk. The equipment has existed for 15 years already, (though it only got to the troops), but "Afghan Crocodiles" also flew to handle Georgians "MI-24.
            4See the column of our troops from Ossetia, there you can see the T-64BV, T-72B, T-80. This is what our VS are. Where did the T-90 go? It is clear that we bought them a little - and therefore take care?

              CONTINUING THE TALK
              1-84 In Spain, and they don’t need anymore, the developer is not Spain but Italy and in Italy there are enough of them. I say that we are eyeing or you offer 40 years to fight on the BTR-80, I won’t understand something, in 2009 AMZ an order has been placed (GILEZ project), where is the result, HOW MUCH WAITING FOR A YEAR, TWO, EIGHT, TWENTY-how long do we have to wait ????
              There are fights in the Caucasus and shelling and undermining our guys (you were inside BTR-80, I was in this coffin, how much you can mock people
              2 sharks, and what are you saying for 2008 in the ranks of 4 ka-50 (there are no pilots, they were mostly testers in Chechnya too) -and why aren't there ??? Ivanov’s policy of plundering budget funds
              3-in India, they collect everything up to the screw. This is something they collect up there and up to the screw and ??? probably the SU-30MKI is right yes my friend, no, they are collecting from the kits delivered from IRKUT !!!! And SO well they collect that INDIA ordered 42 additional su-30s on IRKUT, and probably they are assembling a T-90S plant there built ??? oh, there are also no car kits (sorry what project was a)
              4-column from t-72-And what did you want, then denyushki then went into the pocket of the leaders of the military-industrial complex and the defense ministry and even at that time there were only 50 units in the Moscow Military District

    BTR-80 Spanish production, nothing more feel . By the way, nobody sells 1-2 cars now, there are no fools. If you want to copy (which does not mean mastering the technology) - buy a batch of 200-300 pieces. It was only we the PRC who could sell 10-15 Su-27s for copying and comparative tests, but now, thank God, we have moved away from this practice. So China will not receive PAK FA if it does not sponsor the creation of a 6th generation aircraft ...

    Are they really going to take her into our troops?
    I don’t know about you, but I hear the sound of a saw - vzy-vzy-vzy ...
    IMHO, the best suited for infantry are Namer and Akhzarit class vehicles, with the support of our BMPTs.

    Klibanophoros,
    you're a Jew? propaganda you make Israeli goods first study them then write them, the Nemar is specially designed for Israel, + it doesn’t give a lot of mistakes like Merkava in winter, but about Ahzarit I’m silent BTR-60 5 times stronger than him, I ask you to study everything from and to later recommend thinking do we have stupid defense in mines? OR LESS KNOW THAN WE? what you need and take

        The Mistral is even really nothing, a good toy can carry 4-5 tanks on it (as I know at least) one minus is that it is not an aircraft carrier but a helicopter carrier, but given the fact that we cannot produce a helicopter carrier, right now the French will share technologies as they say for 400 million and a helicopter carrier and technology, don’t know anything about iveco, absolutely nothing, share sources, who sold what about Russia iveko thanks in advance

        We have a helicopter carrier "Moskva" but Mischtral is much larger than it
