Bogotá, Colombia 🇨🇴: Kamikaze fiber optic FPV drone discovered just miles away from major Air Force base

Yesterday, authorities discovered and disarmed an explosive laden FPV drone, acting on prior intelligence of a potential launch site. This launch site was just 5.4 Km away from the Military Transportation Air Command (CATAM), which is a major airfield for Colombia’s Aerospace Force.

The drone was found with the battery unattached and fitted with a large fiber optic spool (potentially 8 or 10km spool). It was loaded with 258g of C4 plastic explosive, using a syringe as a detonator, which is a common theme for IEDs in Colombia.

The drone is believed to have been used by FARC guerrillas from the Carlos Patiño front.

The use of kamikaze drones in the capital is a significant escalation, paired with the use of fiber optic spools which can evade electronic warfare measures. This is the third known case of a fiber optic drone being used by Colombian irregular armed groups in just the last two weeks.
