Historical Overview of the Centauro VRC-105 Vehicle

The original B1 Centauro is an Italian wheeled reconnaissance and combat vehicle, designed by the CIO consortium (IVECO-Fiat/OTO Melara), widely used since the end of the Cold War by the Italian and Spanish armies, with the latter introducing it as the VRC-105. This vehicle is characterized by high mobility and is equipped with a turret mounting a 105 mm cannon, allowing it to engage both armored targets and provide fire support for infantry. In the Spanish armed forces, the Centauro VRC-105 has been used in various NATO missions and international peacekeeping operations in the 21st century.
