B1 Centauro

The Centauro is a family of Italian military vehicles originating from a wheeled tank destroyer for light to medium territorial defense and tactical reconnaissance. It was developed by the Società Consortile Iveco Fiat – OTO Melara (CIO), a consortium of manufacturers, with Iveco Fiat tasked with developing the hull and propulsion systems, while Oto Melara was responsible for developing the turrets and weapon systems. The Centauro platform has been developed into multiple variants to fulfill other combat roles, such as infantry fighting vehicle or self-propelled howitzer.
