Further acquisitions of more M-109's self propelled howitzers, Flakpanzer Gepard self propelled anti air vehicles and new attacks helicopters are in progress.

In all, the Chilean army has about 202 Leopard 1's, 427 M113's, 139 AIFV's and are going to receive 140 Leopard 2's from Germany. They also have around 300 of FAMAE Piranhas (Mowag Piranha) LAV's.
