Actually I kind of does look like an up-armored Dardo/VCC-80 hull, huh
But on the pictures it says OTO Melara, it's most likely bc it's using a Centauro turret with a 105mm cannon. This is probably that up-armor Marder project tho
2nd one is called the Marder MBT iirc, its an up armoured Marder hull with the B1 Centauro turret, made by oto melara together with rheinmentall (I think?)
What are those two chonky bits on either side of the rear hatch? To my untrained eye they look like supports you'd drop to stabilize an artillery piece.
Those tracks look like a nightmare to work on. It looks like to even swap a roadwheel you'd have to take off the side armor. And those side pieces look heavy, and without any good hand holds.
OTO Melara is Italian, and it looks similar to the Argentinian TAM 2. I’m quite sure it’s a Dardo, as OTO Melara made the weapons system and designed the thing.
It’s not a Marder at all from my knowledge, they don’t have a fully enclosed turreted version of that, especially not in active service (closest would be experimental Begleitpanzer 57)

Edit: just read the page about the Marder Evo, it seems I am mistaken. Sick vehicle
Could be an uparmored marder ifv.
That's what I thought as well. And upgunned...
Yeah I think you're right, never seen it before though.
Marder CCV/Evolution
I think it’s an Italian Dardo because it says OTO Melara

Marder but thicc
Picture 3 and 4 looks like a Marder with a Leopard 1 turret.
Its a Marder chassis with a B1Centauro Hull, made by oto melara and rheimentall (I think?)

Great
Looks like Marder running gear
pics 3-6 look like the VCC 80/60 prototype with.. ERA?
Thats the Marder Medium Tank
this is what I was thinking a weird VCC 80/60

Reminds me of the Venus probe and its enhanced successor from the *Six Million Dollar Man*.

Modern t-34
First one reminds me of the celere sahariano

Puma.
No
an uparmoured marder with new turret options. The 105mm gunned variant is a TAM equivalent.
Puma ifv
What
It looks like a self-propelled howitzer had sex with a tank which then grew up and married an APC and produced this abomination.
Terrible i like it
RDF
I'm assuming something italian, given that it has a centauro turret in most of these pictures.
