    I have no facts to back this up but I think its a false flag from the new president.

    Me thinks he wants a heavy handed approach to ELN and this is how he plans to manufacture a war for himself.

      True but since we are just speculating, its been predicted that geurillas will be shifting heavily to drone warfare. Started with Myanmar but it was only inevitable that Latin American militia would pick it up too.

            Countries are going to act in their own best interests. If it benefits them why wouldn’t they?

                They would be conducting business with another party. It would serve their economic interests to supply and train other groups.

                Again, I hope they aren’t but they seem to be the dominant power in the drone business. Thankfully they are fucking up Russian forces with it but, the tides of war can change and they (like any nation) could have interests that don’t align with international peace.

                I hope I’m wrong with my hunch.

                  The amount of money they’d receive from selling drones to some rebels would be tiny compared to the reputational loss and diplomatic issues they’d have if they did it. A country that is fighting for its survival cant afford to have international diplomacy problems just to get some tens or hundreds of thousands of drone selling money. Especially when you consider that a lot of their foreign fighters are from Colombia and they have considerable support from Colombians.

                  Your hunches are, sorry to be so blunt, completely moronic and quite ignorant.

                    I accept how hair brained it may sound. I just know Ukraine is doing very well up against a super power, may they continue to do so.

                    They have the capabilities to supply and train others. Will they? Dunno.

      Not defendong that asshole, but the guerrillas have been using drone warfare in Colombia for at least 1 year, before the new president came into power.
