U.S. M1A1 Abrams could interfere in the interest of Colombia by the Chilean Leopard 1V


In a letter two weeks ago the Chilean Minister of Defense Andres Allamand, the Ministry of Defense of Colombia Santiago requesting a specific offer of an unspecified number of Leopard 1V, which according to developed bilateral talks since March 2011 would 88 units, which as we have published in defensa.com, where we followed the development of Armored program since March 2010 (see: this will be the theater of operations of the Army of Northern Colombia. The country shuffles the options Armored).
Chilean supply, which competes with European offers, would also include advice on the creation of the mechanized formations, manuals, initially the service would provide simulator and talked about to upgrade to these tanks before delivery to Colombia, which according Chilean sources in 2015 was not to be retired from service.

Similarly FAMAE ensure technical support to Colombia because of its ability to provide comprehensive support systems for the tank. The process between Bogota and Santiago has had three technical visits, two to Chile, one in October and again in December 2011, where the Colombian commission found on the ground of the Joint Command North of Iquique and the Joint Chiefs of Austral in Punta Arenas operation of the Leopard.

The third visit was in January this year, by a Chilean commission Colombia to advise the Minister of National Defence of Colombia in the creation of the Department of Arms Armor (Armor School Infrastructure Complementary more) in Riohacha, Department of La Guajira.

However, the formalization of interest from Colombia to Chile can offer consultations overshadowed by the Ministry of Defence brought forward next week with U.S. authorities about the possible sale of the M1A1 Abrams, an option that till date only was being driven by a broker without the support of Washington. However, consistent with the budget allocated for the purchase of tanks, about 60 million USD, is barajaría the option of providing a single Tank Battalion would be assigned to the Medium Cavalry Group "General Gustavo Matamoros D Costa".

Although there are other important deals in Germany and Italy for better Leopard versions of the truth is that the budget is not enough. However, the Ministry of Defence seeks to military purchases in material terms Armored consolidate a better offer three of its projects of major importance: Tank War to the Cavalry, APC vehicle for the Infantry and portable air defense system of Artillery (which are taken for granted is the Stinger missile, some on gun carriage in M-113 to cover the guard and center right and left sides in the formation of the Combined Arms Weapon Tanks Cavalry).

Thus, the idea of ​​the Ministry of National Defense to apply after an initial purchase of 44 vehicles industrial compensation technology transfer to produce more units in Colombia could affect the long-awaited purchase of War Tank. By way of example, the contract dispute Colombian Infantry Weapon APC LAV 300 of Textron, Dossan Blackfox, RG 41de Bae Systems, RN 94, Nurol Machinery, Iveco and Freccia 6x6 GPV. General Dynamics is where you can take advantage of the offer Chilean press Lobby to position your product and sell Colombia LAV version of the M1A1 Abrams, and why not accelerate the purchase of their products Raytheon Air Defense. Also the other bidders are offering to Colombia proposed striking that in one way or another should materialize in the next three months.

US Defense Secretary Panetta Promises Continued Support to Colombia



BOGOTA, Colombia, April 23, 2012 – After a meeting today with Colombian Defense Minister Juan Carlos Pinzón Bueno, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta promised the U.S. military partner of 60 years continued commitment and assistance.


On the first day of a weeklong visit to South America, Panetta said it is appropriate that Colombia was his first stop.
“This country is one of our closest partners in the hemisphere,” the secretary said, “and an emerging regional and global leader.”
After a meeting in Bogota, Pinzon took Panetta on a tour of some of the Colombian Army’s best Special Forces troops at Tolemaida Air Base, 47 miles southwest of the capital city. For an hour, paratroopers and other service members performed technical demonstrations against a backdrop of green mountains and dark clouds.
Later, in a nearby hangar, the two defense leaders positioned themselves at twin podiums and spoke with a crowd of journalists and broadcasters. Behind them in the hangar was a much-used Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter.
“In our discussions today,” Panetta announced, “I affirmed that the United States stands in solidarity with Colombia and its campaign against [the narcoterrorist group FARC, for Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarios de Colombia], and that we will continue to provide training, equipment and assistance that Colombia has requested in order to defeat this common enemy.”
As one example, he added, “the United States is prepared to facilitate the sale of 10 helicopters -- five U.S. Army Black Hawks and five commercial helicopters to help Colombia’s efforts against the FARC.”
After having been a “receiver of grants over the course of the last few years,” Pinzon said through a translator, “Colombia is now exporting knowledge and capacity in terms of regional security.”
What Colombian soldiers on land, sea and air do is appreciated worldwide, Pinzon said, adding, “We don’t forget that many of those capacities were developed thanks to the effective cooperation of the U.S. government.”
Panetta said the progress Colombia has made in resolving its internal security challenges has helped strengthen the U.S.-Colombian relationship and cooperation on regional security challenges, especially those emanating from Central America.
“Our two nations both understand that our security depends on stability not just within our borders but beyond our borders,” the secretary said.
From that cooperation arises the potential for the two military forces to work closely to help build the capacity of other nations in this region to address the same kinds of security challenges.
Earlier this month, during President Barack Obama’s visit to Colombia, he and President Juan Manuel Santos signed a new U.S.-Colombia Action Plan on Regional Security.
As part of the plan, the White House said in a statement, discussions between technical experts and policy officials will focus on four key areas that align with hemispheric citizen security goals and priorities.
These include fighting narcotics trafficking, combating crime, strengthening institutions, and fostering resilient communities.
Both countries, the White House said, will develop complementary security assistance programs and operational efforts to support hemispheric and international partner nations afflicted by effects of transnational organized crime.
“Minister Pinzon and I had a very productive discussion today,” Panetta said, “about the next steps we can take within the framework of this plan to achieve our shared desire for a secure, stable and prosperous Western Hemisphere.”
A specific step includes establishing a State Partnership Program between Columbia and the U.S. National Guard.
The program links U.S. states with partner countries to support security cooperation objectives of the region’s combatant commander.
“This program has helped deepen our defense cooperation with other partners in the region,” the secretary said, “including Chile, Peru and Uruguay.
State partnership programs, he added, “have helped us share lessons learned and expertise for disaster response and other missions where the armed forces can provide critical support to our civil authorities.”
Establishing such a program represents an opportunity to further enhance our capabilities in this area, and an important new avenue for defense cooperation, the secretary said.

La Colombie négocie avec l’Allemagne l’achat de 2 sous-marins U-206A



La semaine passée, profitant de la visite effectuée en Allemagne par une délégation comprenant des fonctionnaires du ministère de la défense, ainsi que des représentants de la marine, la Colombie a conclu des négociations visant l’achat de 2 sous-marins U-206A.


Des sources concordantes indiquent que le montant du contrat se situe aux environs de 130 millions $ (100 millions €). Le contrat ne prévoit pas seulement la vente des 2 sous-marins, mais aussi des pièces de rechange et des torpilles.

De plus, et avant leur livraison, les sous-marins subiront des travaux de “tropicalisation” des systèmes d’air conditionné, de réfrigération d’eau de mer, de la propulsion, protection contre la corrosion, réfrigération des vannes de gaz d’échappement, des travaux électriques et de réservoirs de compensation, entre autres.

La négociation s’est déroulée de gouvernement à gouvernement. Elle entre dans le cadre de la modernisation de la marine colombienne.

Israel Offers Merkava IV Tanks to Colombia


Contacts for the UAV deal with the South American country have been renewed

Israel has offered the procurement of Merkava Mark IV tanks and Merkava Namer APCs to Colombia.

During initial discussions with Colombia, a possible procurement of 25 to 40 tanks were discussed. While the price of the Merkava tank has never been published, as it is produced by the IDF and has thus far been provided only to IDF forces, experts assess that the price of such a tank would reach approximately $6 million.

Colombia is concerned over the accelerated rate in which its neighbor Venezuela, ruled by President Hugo Chavez, has been procuring weapons, and has since considerably increased its military procurement budget. Several years ago, Colombia procured military systems from Israel, which included the Kfir fighter aircraft, ground and naval systems. Colombia is also on the verge of procuring UAVs from Israel.

Additional procurement of Israeli products was also brought up during the visit of Israel’s Minister of Defense, Ehud Barak, to Colombia last month.

A large-scale UAV deal with Colombia was cancelled several years ago due to a conflict between Israel Aerospace Industries and Elbit Systems. Since then, tension has existed in the defense procurement relations between both countries. Deals with Israel were also an issue of political dispute in Colombia.

It appears that the possibility of returning to negotiations with Colombia over a different form of the UAV deal is being examined as well, even though Israeli sources do not believe that the chances for a deal are high.
There have been reports of Colombian procurement of individual Israeli-produced UAVs over the past year, primarily the Hermes-900 by Elbit Systems. However, Colombia is still seeking wide-scale UAV procurement.

In addition to the attempt to salvage the UAV deal in another form, the Israeli defense establishment is attempting to convince the Colombian government to procure the Merkava Mark IV tank and Namer APCs from Israel.

Israel has exported technologies developed for the various Merkava tank models, primarily as part of programs to upgrade old tanks. One of the leading projects in this field was the upgrade of the Turkish Army’s M-60 tanks, which was carried out by Israel Military Industries. However, the tank has never been exported as a complete system.

jonas, je doute fort que les rotors puissent s'entrecroiser la photo que tu nous montre peut donner cette impression mais les
helicos gardent une distance minimale certes mais ne s'entrecroisent pas se serait du suicide de pratiquer une telle manoeuvre et physiquement impossible
et je doute tres fort que les pilotes s'amusent à ce genre de manoeuvres insencées ou que l'etat major de la fuerza aerea colombiana autorise ce genre de manoeuvres

je pense qu'ils sont assez loin l'un de l'autre pour effectuer la manœuvre et que c'est surtout un effet d'optique qui fait qu'on a cette impression qu'ils s'entrecroise
tu sais la photo je pense l'avoir vu traîner sur le net depuis vendredi je pense ou avant je ne me rappelle plus et j'ai attendu d'avoir de bonne sources pour la publier

Il s'agit en effet d'un show aérien en Colombie les blackhawk sont dangereusement prêts les uns des autres.

Colombian Air Force begins night training refueling at Davis Monthan Base in Tucson - Arizona











Colombian Air Force begins night training flight refueling at Davis Monthan Base in Tucson, Arizona
In order to become familiar with areas, distances and aeronautical maneuvers, the staff of the Colombian Air Force began today night exercises with Kfir combat jets and a Boeing KC-767 tanker aircraft.

This type of training have a greater demand and is very precisely because it uses technology such as night vision goggles used by the air crews, in order to make the refills. This maneuver demands a lot of accuracy, because it implies that the pilot of the Kfir achieved in a limited time to locate the refueling probe of his aircraft, with the basket of connection type the jet fuel tanker.

These practices require more skill for the crews participating in the development of night operations in the Red Flag 2012 Exercises at Nellis, Nevada, will attain the capacity of the best Air Forces in the world.


With these maneuvers, the Colombian Air Force will continue to raise its pro operational efficiency to meet the best performance during Red Flag Military Air Exercises.
