OF-40

The OF-40 is an Italian main battle tank developed as a joint venture between OTO Melara and Fiat, and intended primarily for export sales. OTO Melara developed and produced the hulls, and automotive components were provided by Fiat (the designation of the vehicle comes from the initials of the two companies, whereas "40" refers to the mass of the tank). Initial design work was started by OTO Melara in 1977, with the first prototypes ready by 1980.
