The Brazilian Army has chosen the Italian Centauro II as the Cascavel's successor in the wheeled cavalry role. Usually it'd only buy foreign vehicles obsolete by a generation. Once its 120 mm gun enters service, armored cavalry will be less modern than mechanized cavalry (which has finished replacing the EE-11 Urutu with the Guarani this year). The Centauro and Guarani do fit each other, they have some parts commonality and there's even talk of some local Centauro production. Shared maintenance was one of the biggest strengths of the Cascavel-Urutu duo. Meanwhile armored cavalry is still using Leopard Is and M113s.
