FAMAE Piranha
Notes: This the Swiss MOWAG 8x8 Piranha manufactured under license in Chile. It is similar to the Swiss model; the largest differences that the propellers have been removed, since amphibious capability was not a requirement for Chilean forces. (The vehicle is still amphibious, however, propelled in the water by its wheels.) The mounts and mechanisms for the propellers have been replaced by storage boxes for supplies and equipment. In addition, the turret and weapon station choices are somewhat different.

VTP-1
Notes: This is a light wheeled 6x6 APC similar in design to the BTR-152. It is, in fact, almost identical to an Israeli modification of the BTR-152 called the Shoet Mk II. The passenger compartment is open-topped, and there is a door in the rear of the hull and on either side of the cab. It is otherwise an unremarkable vehicle.

Notes: This is a smaller, lighter 4x4 APC used by Chile. It is based on the chassis of a Unimog truck. It has a light armored body with either a pintle-mounted machinegun (more common) or a turret armed with a 20mm autocannon (less common). Each side of the cab has a small door, and there is a large door in the rear of the hull. There are two hatches on the rear of the roof, and one where the pintle mount is located. Three firing ports are located on each side of the passenger compartment, and one on each side of the rear door.
