Baykar has put AKINCI UCAV and Bayraktar TB2 armed UAV with the Chilean flag and roundel on display in the FIDAE 2024 exhibition organised in Chile. The models’ Chilean flag and roundel indicate that Chile has either shown interest in the UAVs or given orders. Local media coverage has discovered some of Baykar’s customers on multiple occasions. Both platforms have been put on display with info boxes that include munition options. Baykar has not made a statement nor returned TurDef’s question concerning one of the systems displayed at the Expo.

ASELSAN to Modernise Chilean Leopard 2 MBTs
ASELSAN has been awarded a contract to modernise the engagement and sensor capabilities of Chilean Leopard 2 MBTs. In an interview with Graciela Ibanez recorded by TRT World during FIDAE 2024, ASELSAN CEO Ahmet Akyol stated that Leopard 2 main battle tanks of the Chilean Army will be modernised with ASELSAN’s various systems. A model of the modernisation package on Leopard 2 was also shown. The fire control system will be replaced with ASELSAN’s VOLKAN, and a SARP-type RCWS will be integrated to provide additional firepower. The gunner’s optics will also be renewed, with what appears to be from the KARTALGÖZÜ series of sights. On the situational awareness side, laser and missile warning systems will be installed against ATGMs, and an electro-optical system will be added for the commander.
