News of the past week.
1. Brazil's VBTP-MR takes another step forward with the signing of the contract to procure the ELBIT UT-30 RO Turret. The bottom picture is a computer rendering of the VBTP-MR with the UT-30 turret. Again the Brazilian Marines will recieve the 8x8 version as part of the overall pkg. The USMC was also looking at the 8x8 version as well prior to the EFV being cancelled in January past. See the patch extract in this thread for further info to include the 8x8 and USMC interest in the refs.
