Centauro VBM
The Centauro VBM, also known as Centauro VBC or Freccia within the Italian Army, is an Armored Infantry Fighting Vehicle (AIFV) derived from the Centauro 8x8 cavalry fighting vehicle. The new vehicle features a new interior layout allowing for the accommodation of up to eight infantrymen, driver and two-man in the turret. The Italian Army's 26-ton Freccia is provided with a two-man HitFirst P turret equipped with a 25mm stabilized gun, a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun and a 7.62mm roof-mounted machine gun. The Freccia/Centauro VBM (Veicolo Blindato Medio) is powered by a 550-hp diesel engine which permits a top speed of 110 kph. In addition to the ballistic armor protection, the Freccia is provided with a protection system against Nuclear, Bacteriological and Chemical (NBC) agents.
