O Armored Revitalização Program in Brazil

Paraguaio

& Technology Magazine 28 .- The Defense Logistics Battalion Mechanized (28 ° B Log MEC), located in Dourados (MS) is the unit responsible for logistical support to units located in the southern state of Mato Grosso do Sul, making until the third echelon maintenance of all vehicles on wheels in the region. Through a partnership held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Defence and the Government of Paraguay has been established that Brazil would effect the revitalization of armored vehicles EE-9 Cascavel EE-11 and Urutu acquired by the Ejército de Paraguay (EP) in Engesa 80s. Being located just 120 km from the Paraguayan border city Ponta Pora, the 28th Log Mec B received the commission to perform this task.

It was found that the vehicles were scattered in various military units and Paraguay, in August 2006, was made a diagnostic evaluation performed on all vehicles in the following cities Paraguayan Curuguaty, San Juan Bautista, Capiata, Cerrito, and Mariscal Estigarribia Asuncion.

In December 2006 the agreement was signed, and he watched all the APCs ENGESA acquired by one country: EE-12 VBTP Urutu 11 and 28 EE-9 Cascavel VBR. The



schedule established for the completion of the work was Next:
• From 24/04/2007 to 15/12/2007: 8 EE-11 Urutu;
• From 15/12/20007 to 15/05/2008: 8 EE-9 Cascavel; • From 15/05 / 2008 to 15/10/2008: 8 EE-9 Cascavel; • From 15/08/2008 to 15/02/2009: 8 VBR Rattlesnake.

addition, four more Urutu Rattlesnake and four belonging to the Presidential Escort Regiment, from Asuncion, will be revitalized in his own headquarters, but by personnel from the 28th B Log Mec, until May 2009

vehicles are received in and border town of Pedro Juan Caballero in Paraguay, where they are loaded on board the bus and transported to GE's 28th B Log Mec and the first batch of 8 EE-11 Urutu have been revitalized and delivered, and now the work being done in 8-9 Cascavel EE.

Vehicles Paraguayans are rotated relatively little (from 8000 ~ 10,000 km), but the armored Urutu came in poor condition because maintenance did not suffer long. For the second batch, for a period through year-end, with the possibility of a possible embezzlement of technicians to be a holiday period, we selected eight that were in Cascavel best.

items that, according to the agreement, will be repaired are:

The armored Paraguayans

In the 80s, even during the regime of President Alfredo Stroessner, 40 armored vehicles were purchased by the Brazilian company ENGESA, 28 VBR EE-EE-9:12 11Urutu. For several years, these vehicles were assigned to various units of that army, making it increasingly difficult to maintain a maintenance structure. The EE-9 Cascavel are the more modern and differ from those adopted in EB because they have a laser rangefinder, infrared display in the driver's periscope, a barn with a capacity greater than 90mm projectiles (adding 8 cocoons located in the left frontal the tower and the transmission of both, and Rattlesnake Urutu is automatic. In the models used in Brazil by have been produced in several batches, have the oldest mechanical transmission, and only 3 ° C Esq MEC, Brasilia received VBR EE-9 Cascavel with many similarities to those exported to Paraguay.

addition to models of ENGESA, Paraguay is equipped with three medium Sherman tanks in Argentina modernized and equipped with 105mm cannon, donated by the Ejército Argentino, and 15 light armored M3A1 Stuart (12 of them still listed as operational), which were Scania diesel engines for remotorizados by Brazilian Bernardini.
