It entered service with the Italian army in the mid-1990s, becoming the country's primary armoured vehicle. Ariete has been used in peacekeeping missions and NATO operations, especially in Southeastern Europe and the Middle East. It is characterized by its modern composite armour and a 120 mm smoothbore gun, capable of operating with advanced targeting and communication systems.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod of use:\u003c\/strong\u003e modern times (from the 1990s to the present day)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExamples of use:\u003c\/strong\u003e NATO missions in the Balkans, stabilization operations in contemporary conflicts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe model faithfully recreates the individual details of the Ariete's hull, armour, and armament, allowing the builder to create a miniature replica with high historical accuracy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe moulds are clean, and details sharply defined – the characteristic silhouette of the Italian MBT is depicted with great attention to historical realism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe kit is compatible with 1:72 scale dioramas, enabling the creation of a realistic battle scene or a collection of NATO vehicles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho do we recommend it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is recommended for both beginner and intermediate modellers interested in modern European armoured vehicles.
