The EE-T1 "Osorio" Main Battle Tank was developed in the middle of 80-ties by "Engensa" - the largest Brazilian weapon developer. Companies technical politics is based on a wide usage of other companies providing military technologies scientific strides. Furthermore if some component production license price is too high, "Engensa" usually buys already produced and completes it's products with such, or offers job for specialists who took part designing one or another product. In this way "Engensa" resolves two main problems: it's production is at a high technology level and it's price is suitable even for a third world countries.
Hull and turret are differentially armored. Rear part is armored with a multi-layer armor which is made with included composite materials and is similar to British "Chobhem" armor. Frontal armor plates are placed with a high inclination level providing better defense.
"Osorio" armament is placed in three-seat turret. As well as EE-T1 is intended not only for Brazilian armored forces, but for export as well, it is produced with two armament variants. EE-T1 intended for Brazilian armored forces is armed with British L7A3 105-mm rifled gun, while export modification EE-T2 is fitted with French 120-mm smoothbore gun. It can be also completed with Soviet/Russian 2A46 125-mm smoothbore gun.
105-mm main gun combat load consists from 45 projectiles including armor-piercing and high-explosion with plastic explosives. Additional armament consists from 7.62-mm machine-gun, coaxially mounted with a main gun, one more 7.62-mm anti-aircraft machine gun is placed placed on the roof in front of gunner's hatch. "Osorio" can be completed with 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine gun placed in front of the commander's hatch.
Main gun is stabilized in two planes. It's aiming and turret rotation devices are based on electricity. "Osorio" Main Battle Tank is fitted with Belgium commander's SCS-5 and gunner's LRS-5 sights. LRS-5 is combined periscope type sight. It combines optical sight with day and thermo vision night channels, also laser rangefinder and ballistic computer. Commander's sight differs from gunners in absence of laser rangefinder and ballistic computer. It is placed in commanders turret and connected with a main gun. Commander is able to aim and to fire independently from gunner. Tank's commander use 5 periscopes for 360 degree observation.
In 1987 "Engensa" finished EE-T1 export modification's - the EE-T2 Main Battle Tank's tests. The new main battle tank was intended only for export, mostly to the Near and Middle East countries. This modification was not used in Brazilian armored forces. The main difference is that the EE-T2 features 120-mm smoothbore gun instead of 105-mm placed on EE-T1 and improved fire control system.
EE-T2 "Osorio's" 120-mm gun ammunition load consists from 38 projectiles with two type rounds: armor-piercing and multifunction projectile (high-explosion fragmentation). It's fire controll system contains WS 580-10 commander panoramic sight and WS 580-19 gunners periscope sight. Sights are designed by French company "Sfim". Both sights are made with built-in laser rangefinders connected with ballistic computers. Sights viewing range has independent stabilization. One more "Philips" UA-9090 night vision panoramic thermal sight is mounted on the turret. It's view is projected on television screens, placed in front of gunner and commander. "Osorio" EE-T2 has a hit probability into moving target in 2 000 meter range from the first round in more than 80%. Such results were published by French specialists.
EE-T2 secondary armament consists from 7.62-mm coaxial and 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine guns. Like the EE-T1 it is also fitted with a smoke grenade launchers, placed from both sides of the turret.
Both Main Battle Tanks have the same engine and transmission built in one module. Engines are German 12-cylinder MWM TBD 234 diesels with ZF LSG 3000 transmissions. Engine block is replaced in 30 minutes in field conditions.
Chassis includes 6 bearing and 3 supporting rolls from the each side. Tracks are similar to the "Leopard 2" Main Battle Tank's ones with removable rubber pads. Chassis suspension is hydro pneumatic. First, second and sixth bearing rolls are fitted with spring absorbers. Hull boards and chassis is covered with armored screens providing additional protection from cumulative rounds.
"Osorio" has a good speed and cross-country performance. It reaches 30 km/h in 10 seconds. Main Battle Tank manages 30ยบ slopes, 3 meter wide trenches, 1.15 meter vertical step. It fords 1.2 meter depth water obstacles without preparation.
The Main battle tank is completed with an automatic fire-extinguishing system in combat and engine-transmission compartments. "Osorio" can be additionally fitted with Nuclear Biological Chemical protection system. This system includes air filter and individual masks for crew members, providing cleaned air. There is also ability to place special device signalizing when main battle tank is lightened by a laser beam. It is also fitted with all necessary radio equipment and crew communication devices.
Later on the "Osorio" Main Battle Tank chassis there were based such armored vehicles:
- Self-propelled howitzer fitted with GHN-45 155-mm howitzer;
- Anti-aircraft defense vehicle with coaxial "Oerlicon" automatic guns;
- Armored engineering vehicle;
- Tank - bridge-layer.
There is no information about the "Osorio" EE-T2 serial production, however countries such as Saudi Arabia showed interest to obtain it for their armored forces. Brazilian requirements in EE-T1 is approximately 300 main battle tanks. Selengkapnya...

The Casspir is a landmine-protected personnel carrier (APC) that has been in use in South Africa for over 20 years. It is a four wheeled armoured vehicle, used for transport of troops. It can hold a crew of two, plus 12 additional soldiers and associated gear. The Casspir was unique in design when launched, providing for passive mine defence. The main body of the vehicle is V-shaped and raised above the ground, so that if a mine is detonated, the explosion is less likely to damage the crew compartment and kill the occupants. The cross-section of the hull is V-shaped, directing the force of the explosion outwards, further protecting the occupants. The vehicle is also armoured for added mine safety, as well as protection from small arms fire. The Casspir was the inspiration and prototype for the US Marines MRAP project. Selengkapnya...
Marines with Company D, Light Armored Reconnaissance, Battalion Landing Team 3/1, 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) (Special Operations Capable), focus down range during recent live-fire training. With the aide of their Light Armored Vehicle Two Five (LAV-25), the Marines can undertake a number of missions, to include facilitating reconnaissance, artillery direction and ‘hit and run missions.’ Each LAV-25 is equipped with a 25mm chain gun and two M-240E1 machine guns, enabling the Marine gunners to accurately fire on targets while moving at speeds of up to 10 mph due to the vehicle's stabilization system.

The Maschinengewehr 34, or MG34, was a German machine gun that was first produced and accepted for service in 1934, and first issued to units in 1935. It was an air-cooled machine gun firing 7.92x57mm Mauser rounds and had similar performance to other medium machine guns.
However, it was also designed to perform both as a light machine gun and also in heavier roles, in an early example of a general purpose machine gun. In the light role, it was intended to be equipped with a bipod and 50-round belt contained in a drum-shaped ammo basket, which attached to the receiver. In the heavier role it was mounted on a larger tripod and was belt-fed. In practice the infantry usually just belt-fed the bipod version, resulting in it functioning as a classic medium support weapon.
