According to information published by the InfoDefensa website on June 14, 2021, the Army of Venezuela has finalized the modernization plan of 78 Scorpion 90, light reconnaissance tracked armored vehicles.
The Scorpion 90 was a vehicle developed for the export market and based on the CVRT Scorpion developed by the British company Alvis Limited. Many countries have ordered Scorpions modified to meet their own particular operational requirements. In mid-1988, Venezuela placed an order with Alvis for the supply of an undisclosed number (believed to be 84) of Scorpion 90 mm vehicles. The vehicle is also in service with Malaysia.
