Summary

Description

Vehículo de Combate de Infantería/Caballería (VCI/C) Pizarro, conocido en Austria como Ulan. Se inició su construcción en España en 1996, como un proyecto conjunto entre la empresa española Santa Bárbara Sistemas y la empresa austriaca Steyr Daimler Puch. El proyecto, denominado ASCOD (Austrian Spanish Cooperative Development) dio lugar a un primer prototipo en 1991, con seis ruedas (el modelo de serie lleva siete). A finales de 1993 se construyó el segundo prototipo, denominado PT-II, también con seis ruedas. Fue entregado a la Academia de Infantería de Toledo para someterlo a una dura evaluación: se efectuaron disparos contra el vehículo para probar su blindaje -tanto en las partes metálicas como en los visores de cristal blindado-, y se probó su resistencia a la explosión de minas terrestres, quedando destrozadas sus orugas y varias ruedas. Este segundo ejemplar, ya con las orugas reparadas, se conserva en el museo de El Goloso. Todavía se ven los impactos de bala en su coraza y las ruedas destrozadas por la explosión de la mina.

Infantry/Cavalry Fighting Vehicle (VCI / C) Pizarro, known in Austria as Ulan. Its building began in Spain in 1996 as a joint project between the Spanish company Santa Bárbara Sistemas and Austrian company Steyr Daimler Puch. The project, called ASCOD (Austrian Spanish Cooperative Development) resulted in a first prototype in 1991, with six wheels (the standard model has seven). In late 1993 was built the second prototype, called PT-II, also with six wheels. It was delivered to the Infantry Academy of Toledo for submission to a stark assessment: shots were fired at the vehicle to test both its armor -metal parts and armored-glass visors-, and tested for resistance to blast landmines, leaving shattered their caterpillars and several wheels. The second prototype, as with caterpillars repaired, is preserved in the museum of El Goloso. Still see the bullet holes in his shell and wheels destroyed by mine explosion.
