JAGUAR MARK I :
The Jaguar is based on an ASCOD AFV hull mounting the turret from the Russian BMP-T Terminator. The turret mounts 4 x 130mm Ataka-T anti-tank guided missile launchers, 2 x 30mm 2A42 autocannons (850 rounds, 1 x 7.62mm PKTM machine gun (2,000 rounds) and 12 x 902A automatic smoke grenade launchers. I have also opted for 2 x 60mm automatic mortars mounted in a secondary turret at the rear. Along with a full day/night fire-control system the main turret also mounts a LIDAR for an (effectively) passive 360 degrees sensor.
I would also recommend that the vehicle carry a version of the Trophy missile defence system - The system includes the Elta EL/M-2133[4] F/G band fire-control radar with four flat-panel antennas mounted on the vehicle, with a 360-degree field of view. When a projectile is detected, the internal computer calculates an approach vector before the projectile arrives. Once the incoming weapon is classified, the computers calculate the optimal time and angle to fire the counter-measures. The response comes from two rotating launchers installed on the sides of the vehicle which fire a very small number of a MEFPs (Multiple Explosively Formed Penetrators) which form a very tight, precise matrix, aimed at a specific point on the anti-tank projectile's warhead. The system is designed to have a very small kill zone so that it does not endanger personnel near the protected vehicle.
JAGUAR MARK IIs & PUMA SUPPORT VEHICLE : The Jaguar Armoured Reconnaissance Vehicle (armed with an 25mm M242 Bushmaster auto-cannon, a L94A1 7.62mm chain gun and 2 x 60mm mortars). It has an interchangeable sensor suite on a telescopic mast for added range and concealment. The Puma is the 90mm armed Fire Support Vehicle of the same AFV family. Both vehicles can be fitted with the Trophy missile defence system if needed. The wheeled variant carries the same turrets and sensor suites as the tracked family but is based on a fully amphibious 6x6 AFV.
Both the Jaguar Mk I-IIs and the Puma support vehicles were inspired by the designs of two of their allies who assisted the Brazilians in their Second War of Indepedence : Israel, Russia*
*Brazil has a weird set of supporters in this world. It will get weirder !

Since you guys expressed interest before (although they were different subjects) @Marduk @Tiamat @BF110C4 @Doomsought @Butch R. Mann @Aaron Fox @WolfBear @bintananth @Abhorsen @Bacle @The Whispering Monk @Agent23 @Arch Dornan @Husky_Khan @Bear Ribs
@A Vox in the Void since I just your horror and science fiction post (aand my worldbuilding will be somewhat tangent to both).
The premise of this world is a 20 minutes into the future trope but 5 instead of 20. The objective would be for me to write an enjoyable and realistic read, EXCEPT for some more science fiction-ish elements that probably are still a century away from being functional or usable.
As soon I finish my exams that will be in 6:14 hours (AND LIKELY FINISH AT 14:00 Time of Italy) I will write what Brazil has become in the Future.
