This video provides an overview of the Italian Army's current capabilities and structure, focusing on its infantry, vehicles, fire support, special forces, and global deployments. It aims to showcase the strength and modernization of the Italian military, which is often underestimated.

Key takeaways

Infantry Squad Structure: The Italian infantry squad, known as the squadra fuchilieri, is an eight-man unit organized into two four-man fire teams. Each team can establish a base of fire while the other maneuvers, allowing for coordinated attacks.
Armament and Equipment: The standard service rifle is the Beretta ARX160 (5.56 mm), with a designated marksman carrying the ARX 200 (7.62 mm NATO) for extended range. Squads are equipped with 40mm grenade launchers, and machine gunners use the FN Minimi. The upcoming standard rifle will be the Beretta NARP.
Vehicles and Fire Support: Medium mechanized brigades utilize the Freccia 8x8 VBM infantry fighting vehicle. For direct fire support, the Centauro 2 wheeled vehicle, armed with a 120 mm cannon, offers mobility and firepower comparable to a main battle tank. The Ariete C2 is the main battle tank, undergoing modernization. Artillery support includes the PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzer.
Special Forces and Deployments: Italy's elite special forces, the 9th Col Moschin, are equipped with advanced weaponry like Colt M4s, HK416s, and Barrett M82s. Italian forces are deployed globally, with significant presence in NATO missions in Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Latvia, Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Romania), peacekeeping in Kosovo and Bosnia, and operations in the Middle East, Africa, and at sea.
