Еhe EE-11 Urutu is a Brazilian amphibious armored personnel carrier based on the drive train and chassis components of the EE-9 Cascavel armored car. It initially emerged as part of a project to develop an amphibious troop-carrying counterpart to the EE-9 Cascavel armored car for the Brazilian Army and Marine Corps. This is the first fully amphibious armored vehicle developed in Brazil.
Totally useless Brazilian dopers APC, the moron Saddam had hundreds and even a 50 cal mounted on Iranian Jeeps used to take them, the ZSU 23mm twins would literally blow them to bits. Iran still has over 100 captured ones and even the police does not want them as they are totally inferior.
O Urutu foi um sucesso de vendas principalmente no Oriente Médio. Com mais de 3000 mil unidades vendidas dentro e fora do Brasil.
Participou e ainda participa de vários conflitos ao redor do mundo.
O EB( EXÉRCITO BRASILEIRO) ainda possui vários em seu inventário. Mas já está substituindo-os pelas novas VBTP GUARANÍ da Iveco Brasil.
Inclusive o GUARANÍ teve um pequeno contrato de vendas fechado com o Líbano.
