I've been lurking in some Chilean forums, and it seems that all the types of Sherman were retired from service in the 90's. Those tanks (60) equipped with the 60mm HVAP served for 15 years, with some 50 M-24 equipped with the same gun. Seemingly they are kept in reserve. All the other Shermans are now being used as targets for the younger Leopards.
