Thanks for the interesting pics, @anybody who posted here
Anyone got anymore informations about this weapon station?
1 x 25mm high-rate automatic Oerlikon Contraves KBA cannon mounted on a robotic one-man turret from Kuka Wehrtechnik.
The gun has integral dual feed, remote feed select, internal recoil mechanism and fires between 100 and 600 shots per minute of all NATO standard 25mm ammunition, including armor-piercing, discarding sabot cartridge with a high-density tungsten alloy penetrator.
Thanks JBass! With this information I could find a couple more pics of it, enjoy:

A friend of mine posted this on another forum:
Seems to be this baby, IAI's ADC3 (Air Defence Command, Control & Communication) system.
Maybe the army bought the complete spyder system.A friend of mine posted this on another forum:

That would be nice... because the Chilean army really need a good modern air defence system.
Poor picture quality, but it's the most recent photo of a Chilean Leopard 2A4.
Was taken a few days ago in Arica, Chile.
Weren't these formerly mounted on Dutch M113C&R recon vehicles?
No, I don't think so.
By the way, I have never seen a Lynx (M113C&R) in the Chilean Army.
Unless you were talking about the YPR-765 (AIFV) like the one in the picture, the same 25mm cannon, but as you can see not the same tourret.
Just for fun, our president Ms. Bachelet and secretary of state Mr. Vidal, ready for action.
its that a Bradley style Tank?
Yes, you can say that.
its that a Bradley style Tank?
To be more accurate it's an Advanced Infantry Fighting Vehicle (AIFV)
I saw a picture of an Armored Personnel Carrier variants equipped with the SPIKE ATGM
Somebody got that picture?
But the torret is smaller, the spike in that tank could be awesome.
WOW!! Nice picture..Why the Chilean Army moved their Leo's to Arica?? Was some exercise or an exhibition???Poor picture quality, but it's the most recent photo of a Chilean Leopard 2A4.
Was taken a few days ago in Arica, Chile.
Just curious, when this picture was taken?? I was near to Arica the last days!! Damn!!!.. I lost a good chance to take pictures to the Leo's....
Cheerss

P.D. What's the deal with the flag behind the tank. It looks like a Russian flag???

Erick, my mistake, the picture was taken in Iquique, in Cabancha, the last Sunday during a Chilean Army exhibition. As you may know September is the month of the army in Chile, so there's a lot of exhibitions and special events.
Here is another picture of the last sunday exhibition, a Leopard 1V
P.D. About the flag, I don't have a clue.
