Very similar to Marder Infantry vehicle made and used by Germany, though with a smaller auto-cannon.

But the Argentines take the same Marder vehicle lower chassis, mount a very different turret, and are quite happy with the result, known to Argentine Army users as TAM-1. Unlike the US M113 and Bradley, it cannot, and though it travels on six roadwheels instead of seven, the Argentine VCA-155 155mm self-propelled howitzer is basically the Otobreda Palmaria artillery turret placed on a lengthened TAM tank chassis, with seven roadwheels on each side. Maybe future tank/infantry carriers from Argentina will also use the longer chassis.
