Russia is testing Italy's Centauro wheeled tank and considering building it under license, a representative of the Oto-Melara
company which makes the tank said on Saturday, May 12. "The first two machines with 105-mm and 125-mm guns are on
trial at a Moscow Region proving ground," he said.

Two more Centauros with 120-mm and 30-mm guns will also join the trials in another six weeks. "The tanks will take part
in laboratory, driving and firing trials," the Oto-Melara representative said.

When the trials are complete at the end of this year, Russia will consider creating a joint venture for production of the tank
with an enterprise from the Russian military-industrial complex, he said.
