Juan Carlos Pinzon, the defense minister of Colombia, is trying to copy the Israeli system with the purpose of developing military technology in the country. He also said that Colombia has a good military technology but the economy and the situation of the country isn’t the best for the use of our resources in this area. Colombia is helped by the USA with a lot of military equipment since 1996, in the called “Plan Colombia” for the fight against the FARC (Fuerzas armadas revolucionarias de Colombia) that are one of the best equipped guerrillas in the world.
I think that it is very good for the country because our soldiers are one of the best in the world. They are almost every day in the jungle fighting against the illegal groups. If they are equipped with excellent weapons, they will protect us better and it would be more comfortable for them. They will have new weapons that maybe are not as heavy as the ones they have today. The soldiers could have more accuracy, and if they are already good with the old weapons, just imagine what they can do with modern ones.
