The Philippine Army has received the first batch of five Guarani 6×6 wheeled armoured personnel carriers (APCs) from Elbit Systems, Lieutenant Colonel Louie Dema-ala, the Philippine Armyʼs official spokesperson, told Janes on 6 March.

The APCs were delivered to the army in late February and are undergoing technical inspection with the serviceʼs Armor ‘Pambato' Division (AD), Lt Col Dema-ala said. “Once the APCs pass inspection parameters, they will be deployed with the army.”

The AD displayed the newly received Guarani APCs during a ‘blessing ceremony' held on 5 March at Camp O'Donnell located in Santa Lucia municipality of Tarlac city.

During the ceremony, the division also showcased the recently acquired Sabrah ASCOD II light tanks.

In February 2020 Elbit Systems announced it had been awarded a USD46 million contract to supply an undisclosed number of Iveco Defence Vehicles Guarani APCs to the army of a country in the Asia-Pacific region.
