It is not a reconnaissance vehicle, but a tank destroyer/wheeled tank. The Centauro carries a fully armed and equipped crew of 2 to 4 men, which makes it extremely flexible to use, especially in peacekeeping operations. The Centauro was deployed in Somalia and former Yugoslavia and has proved its durability in those conflicts.
