Good morning, cordial greetings, as you may have been able to appreciate, the "serious" face of the Colombian Second Lieutenant in the motorcycle course does not represent Colombian women, who are characterized by their smile, as you could see in the other photograph of the students , where they are seen smiling; on the other hand, the "spectacular" aerial combat between the USAF and the FAC, is seriously spectacular because of the obsolescence of the Kfir, the ability of the pilots and ground personnel to keep them still in flight and the recklessness of the pilots when getting on fly in those relics, which should already be resting in a museum; apologies for the crude comment, but these clarifications must be made.

This is the cruel reality of our country, Colombia, just as you show it. almost a banana republic. Our politicians have dilated the budget and acquisition of combat fighters. almost with the budget ready to do business with the United States for some F-16 fighters. But now with the leftist government in power, I doubt that such a negotiation will take place. now everything indicates a new negotiation and perhaps a new proponent. dawn and we will see

Colombia relaunches its combat aircraft purchase plan.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has reactivated the process of acquiring new combat aircraft to replace the country's aging Kfir fleet.

Petro's decision may come as a surprise given his stance earlier this year on the campaign trail, when he said buying fighter jets or other military hardware would not be a priority during his term, if he was chosen one.

Military sources in the capital, Bogotá, who spoke on condition of anonymity to protect his career, said credit for Petro's turnaround goes to Gen. Luis Carlos Córdoba, head of the Colombian Air Force. They explained that Córdoba convinced Defense Minister Iván Velásquez of the urgent need to replace at least part of the Kfir fleet, which will begin to retire at the end of this year, and Velásquez, in turn, convinced the president.

Since 1989, Colombia has purchased 24 Kfir aircraft, manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries. To counter Venezuela's acquisition of Sukhoi Su-32 fighters, Colombia's Kfir fleet underwent upgrades between 2009 and 2017 by IAI's Lahav Division.

The latest upgrade, to the C-60 standard, involved the installation of an Elta Systems ELM-2032 active electronically scanned array radar and data link, as well as the integration of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems' Derby weapon, an air-to-air missile beyond visual range. IAI says that standard is equivalent to that of the F-16 Block 52.

Colombia's modernized Kfirs are arguably the most advanced fighter aircraft with the most capable systems in service in South America. But the age of airframes is taking its toll; between 2012 and 2014, multiple aircraft were lost in accidents, grounding the entire fleet. Extensive maintenance support from IAI returned the aircraft to service.
