EE-T1 Osório

EE-T1 Osório
Country	Brazil
Role	Main battle tank
Produced	1986
Built	2 prototypes

The Engesa EE-T1 Osório was a Brazilian main battle tank prototype developed by Engesa. The tank was intended to be sold first to Arab and other Third World countries, jump-starting production — and enabling the Brazilian Army to later place its own orders without having to fund development costs. Development of the tank was initially privately funded by Engesa, but cashflow issues eventually led to the Brazilian government extending a loan to assist the program. Two prototypes of the tank were built, but the EE-T1 was never adopted for service.

More info:

The EE-T1 Osório was a Brazilian main battle tank prototype developed by Engesa in the 1980s. It was designed to meet the requirements of the Saudi Arabian market, which was looking for a modern and cost-effective tank to replace its aging AMX-30s. The EE-T1 Osório featured a modular design with a steel hull and composite armor blocks, a hydro-pneumatic suspension system, and a choice of two turrets with either a 105 mm or a 120 mm gun. The tank was powered by a 12-cylinder MWM diesel engine that gave it a top speed of 70 km/h and a range of 550 km. The tank had a crew of four: a driver, a commander, a gunner, and a loader. The EE-T1 Osório was tested by several countries, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Libya, and Algeria, but it never received any orders. The project was eventually cancelled due to financial difficulties and political obstacles. The EE-T1 Osório remains as one of the most ambitious and innovative tank projects in South America.
