Spain has ordered another 62 Centauro 8x8 wheeled tank destroyers from Italy for $185 million. These will equip two battalions (regiments) in the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, which is based in Zaragoza. Spain previously ordered 22 of these vehicles for $70 million; those are in service with the 8th Lusitania Cavalry Regiment.--Stephen V Cole
