VBTP-MR Guarani 6x6

The VBTP-MR Guarani is a 6x6 armored personnel carrier developed by Iveco for the Brazilian Army. It is designed to replace older armored vehicles and can be configured for various roles, including troop transport, reconnaissance, and fire support.

Developed under the Brazilian Army's "Urutu-III" modernization program starting in the late 2000s, the Guarani was designed to replace the aging EE-11 Urutu and EE-9 Cascavel fleets. The vehicle officially entered service in 2014 following a joint development agreement with Italian manufacturer Iveco Defense Vehicles. Since its induction, the Guarani has been deployed in domestic security operations within Brazil's urban areas and has seen international service in United Nations peacekeeping missions. Today, it serves as the backbone of Brazil's mechanized infantry forces, with hundreds of units delivered and export contracts secured with nations including Lebanon and the Philippines.
