In recent years, domestic foreign trade equipment has been very energetic. Not only have ground combat vehicles won large orders one after another, but various air defense weapons are also very popular among the local tyrants. Not to mention all kinds of drones, they are also blooming. Recently, the domestic ST1 wheeled tank is also expected to win the order of Brazil , with the expected number of imported vehicles reaching 98, which is one of the few large-scale tanks in recent years. However, this time the shortlisted American chariots and other European competitors are also included. Whoever wins the game may still have to compete without seeing the smoke of gunpowder.

According to social media reports, the Brazilian Army announced on October 7 that it had a shortlist of bidding projects for the introduction of 8×8 wheeled armored cavalry fighting vehicles, including the domestic ST1BR tank, the Italian "Centaur" II tank, and the United States LAV700 tank. However, the results of the second round of selection will not be announced until November 25, and there will be a while of waiting.

According to the current situation, this order is quite attractive. A total of up to 98 combat vehicles will be introduced, and the few combat vehicles shortlisted this time are also world-renowned wheeled armored combat vehicles. For example, the Italian "Centaur" has always been famous and is a well-known model of Western wheeled chariots. The domestic ST1BR tank has also recently become famous for a wheeled assault gun. This model has been unveiled at the 2021 Land and Sea Air Show and is the protagonist of the "Armor and Anti-Armor" firepower display session. ST1BR has an 8×8 layout and a 105mm cannon with muzzle retractor . Its appearance is very similar to the domestically produced ZTL-11 wheeled assault gun, and its chassis motor power is guaranteed.

It is worth mentioning that this gun also uses a tail-cabin automatic ammunition loader similar to a VT4 tank, which gives it a higher level of automation launch, and can launch a full ammunition without being packaged. Moreover, its average launch speed is much faster than that of Western tanks. In addition, this technology may also be used in the next generation of domestic wheeled assault vehicles in the future, so the automatic loader is likely to be the highlight of this shortlist and is also a technology that Brazil is more interested in.

As for the LAV700, which also entered the second round of competition this time, is also a roadblock for the domestic ST1BR. If you want to get a big order, you must face competition with the LAV700. This war was developed by General Dynamics and first appeared at the 2017 Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition. Later, the ALAS-MC turret was modified in the US Department of Defense's "Project Fusion 21" experiment. The current advantage of this tank is that it has relatively strong defense capabilities, uses high-quality steel armor welding, and uses Kevla additional layer inside, which can be used for external ceramic additional armor.

This time we can see that in the relevant publicity, this LAV700 does not have a turret, which is an infantry fighting vehicle or loading. If this early version participates in the bidding, it will definitely not be a match for the turret of the domestic ST1BR such as 105mm gun. From another perspective, Brazil belongs to the BRICS country and often outputs various resources. From this perspective, domestic ST1BR still has certain advantages. Western equipment has many unreliable places, and Brazil must also have some understanding.

Overall, the domestic ST1BR automatic loader is still very important for a theory that assault gun , and can better exert firepower advantages. After all, it is unlikely that this type of wheeled tank will take into account both defense and firepower. As for this foreign trade order, ST1BR is still expected to be won. Of course, there are many non-technical factors for foreign trade orders. However, as long as the technology is done well, foreign trade is useless, and it will also help to use it yourself. After all, good technology is the strong combat effectiveness.
