And one More
Another Kfir COA of Colombian Air Force, seen here with two Python-5, two Derby-ER and two LGBs.
Colombian Kfir will end their service this year, due to an Israeli embargo following the Gaza event, where the Colombian government is reported to have condemned Israeli actions.
A Colombia Kfirs COA fully loaded for air-air and precision strike missions.
Note the absence of laser designator, who is usualy in place of one of the two LGB.

The last two photos are beautiful, but you can see that it is more propaganda than anything, since when do people eat Styrofoam in the area here and with that peace of mind?

I totally agree. Since the last two years the new progresist and leftist goverment with the Defense Ministry are working together in a large propaganda campaing to promote the conscription of female officers and soldiers on the Military Forces. Last year there was the first contingent of female marines in the main Colombian marine base.
And the Ministry of defense is working hard and promoting this campaign.

Colombian Special Forces in Combat against FARC Dissidents. April 2024
Exclusive images of a deployment operation of special troops of the Colombian Army (confidential) during a reconnaissance mission in hostile territory where they clashed with a group of FARC-EP dissidents, led by Iván Mordisco, in the Algeria area , Cauca. This region is known to be a strong point for these narcoterrorist groups, which benefit from drug trafficking. Although it has not yet been confirmed, it is estimated that the confrontation resulted in a significant number of casualties within the ranks of the dissidents.
CLARIFICATION:
THEY ARE NOT GUERRILLARS. THEY ARE SPECIAL FORCES SOLDIERS OF THE NATIONAL ARMY OF COLOMBIA. INFILTRATED IN THE AREA TO FIGHT THE GUERRILLA.
Rubber boots are used in the area many times, they are also used for reconnaissance in characterization so the enemy cannot differentiate the troops from their own when they are already very close and contact is imminent. On the other hand, the sights on the carbines show us that they are special forces commandos of the Colombian national army, since they are the only ones that have Israeli MEPRO MOR sights on their M4 carbines and as an extra, the guerrillas rarely have grenade launchers on their M203 rifles.

Cigarette Technique or Center Peel
- Colombian Special Forces School -
The Cigarette Maneuver or The Central Peeling, "Australian Peeling", or just "The Peeling" for short. In Colombia Known as the Cigarette Technique. It is a type of retreat practiced by modern infantry. This particular tactic is designed more specifically for situations where smaller groups of infantry or special forces are withdrawing from an engagement of a much larger force. Generally speaking, it is an inclined or diagonal retreat of the enemy. This tactic was designed with human psychology in mind. It begins with an infantry unit facing a larger force of enemies. Once the command is called, soldiers deploy a column facing the enemy's middle. Soldiers then begin, or continue, to use suppressive fire to delay the enemy's attack and advance. Depending on the direction of retreat, the second-to-last soldier at the far end, opposite the direction of retreat, shouts: "Bare One." Then, the infantryman next to him, at the end of the column, ceases the retreat. fire, makes his way behind the column to the other side, takes a position one meter diagonally behind the furthest soldier on this side and resumes suppression of fire. The process is then repeated with the simplified commands to ". peel", the "one" is only there to indicate the actual start of the tactic, and continues until the group has safely disengaged the objective.
The center-peeling tactic was demonstrated in the final shootout of the 2003 film, Tears of the Sun, where Lieutenant Waters (Bruce Willis) leads his men away from a significantly larger group of very aggressive Nigerian troops. This tactic was also shown in episode 6 of season 2 of the Amazon Prime show, Jack Ryan, where a small group of 3 soldiers were ambushed in a ravine. The peeling tactic can also be seen in the 1995 film Heat when the LAPD intercepts the heist team as they leave the bank.

Only 50% of the Air Force's Kfir fleet would be flying.
The W Radio Station was able to learn that there are at least 9 aircraft that have gone out of operation, which has caused the FAC to be in the yellow stage.
The W was able to learn that there is concern in the Colombian Air Force, due to what is happening with the Kfir planes. To date, several aircraft have already stopped flying, due to maintenance issues, spare parts, or because they are simply on their way out, as has been warned for several years by the institution itself.
That is, according to what La W knew, to date, 50% of the Kfir fleet would be flying. This has meant that at this time, the FAC's combat aviation is in the yellow arc stage, which means that the planes cannot be brought to their maximum performance due to structural defects.
The serious thing is that at the moment there would be between 8 and 9 planes available, but at the end of the year there could be up to 5 fewer.
The W was able to learn that, in his most recent visit to the United States, the commander of the Military Forces, General Helder Giraldo, announced that, together with Major General Van McCarty, commander of the South Carolina National Guard of United States, several agreements were reached to strengthen military capabilities in Colombia.
Among the agreements reached is training for the construction of railway infrastructure in Colombia and thus comply with President Gustavo Petro's order to use the country's railways again. The agreement with the United States is expected to begin in 2024.
For this reason, the National Guard made its machinery capabilities available for the instant installation of military bridges.
The fleet of Black Hawk helicopters of the National Guard was also made available. In this way, a study will begin to reach an agreement and thus strengthen air capabilities, so the project will be headed by Major General Juan Carlos Correa Consuegra, deputy chief of Strategic Planning of the General Command of the Military Forces. The objective is to receive Black Hawk aircraft.
On the other hand, the ability to acquire an updated version of the F16 type aircraft was also analyzed, given the imminent departure of the Kfir aircraft from the Colombian Aerospace Force (FAC). In fact, some of these institution aircraft are already on the ground because they have completed their cycle.
News in Spanish
Solo el 50% de la flota de aviones Kfir de la Fuerza Aérea estaría volando
La W pudo conocer que son al menos 9 aeronaves que han salido de operación, lo que ha generado que la FAC se encuentre en etapa amarilla.
