2025: Sale of 30 German armored personnel carriers for delivery to Ukraine

In November 2025, El Mostrador reported that the Chilean government had decided to sell 30 MARDER armored personnel carriers to Germany as part of a German military assistance program to Ukraine.

Chile has always sharply criticized the activities of the RF Armed Forces, and the current president, Gabrielle Borich, called the start of the SVO "an act of aggression." However, before that, assistance to Kyiv was limited only to humanitarian issues.

The deal, allegedly, is kept in the "strictest secret."

The Chilean Ministry of Defense, according to media reports, may receive some components of air defense in exchange.
