The Bernardini MB-3 Tamoyo was a Brazilian medium main battle tank that never reached production status, it never passed beyond the prototype stage (1983). It was followed by the EE-T1 Osório in 1984, the EE-T2 Osório in 1985, and the Tamoyo III in 1987[1]. The tank was armed with a 90mm gun and carried 68 rounds of ammunition[1].
