Colombia is a lot like Afghanistan. Over there, mountains have always kept any central government from fully exercising authority. Even if an area is connected via road, there might be weather or landslides that disconects it for periods of time. So you do get a set up for only lose central control, growing opium, war lording. Colombia has similar problems but with the combo mountains and jungle. You end up with parts of the country that exist outside of central authority.
Colombia was the second country in the world to develop a commercial airline. It did not have the wealth and industrial capacity you'd associate with that achievement but it had the need. It was easier to link areas of the country via air than roads.
Avianca (formerly SCADA, is just months older than KLM, the dutch airline which is the oldest active in the world), SCADA started operations using the rivers of Colombia as a good number of them have wide and long parts that allows them to be use as airports.
@@wizz1358 I think you mean months younger
Mistakes were made like abandoning trains and replacing them with trucks, that on top of limited inversion on roads achieve this piss poor land communication between the center of the country and the coasts.

You do remember that roman roads were build by roman legions? You win battles with spears, you win wars with showels.
garrisons are expensive and colombia geography is jungle mountains, it is as rough as it gets without being the arctic or the moon
did they have moats with crocs and a drawbridge? a moat filled with oil might be fun
@@ernstschmidt4725 The government can't make roads due to corruption, that's it otherwise with the political will and engineering the problem would have been solved decades ago.

I remember first coming across an armored REO when I was traveling from Cucuta to Bogota, the army would make us all disembark the bus and check our IDs, since I was a minor they left me alone so I could oogle the truck while waiting to resume our trip.
Oh and fun fact: It’s rumored the Meteoro name comes from the Spanish version of Speed Racer, the old 80’s anime which was highly popular in the country.
With undercover scout cars and civilian disguised armored trucks, I expect military intelligence is very important. Does the new Cavalry organization have an organic intel section of any type?
Yes. That's what the Barinas are for.
The air force would also fly recon sorties and relay that info to army units since most of the rebels don't really have air defense other than 50 cals
Yes, they do have at least one, in the Medium Combined Arms Task Force (FUTAM) located in La Guajira there are several SIGINT vehicles, along with several optronic vones
If they drive around in civilian looking cars, won´t that make their opponents more suspicious of civilians, and potentially put civilians at an increased risk?
@@JohanDanielsson8802 Civs are already being shot at and kidnapped, this tactic changes little in how the populace will be treated.
All sides have targeted civilians due to the irregular nature of the conflict, sometimes more, sometimes less (see the fals positives scandal, the guerrilla kidnappings or the paramilitary massacres).
Fortunately it's much safer nowadays in most of the country, but there are a few regions where the conflict persists
I find road as statebuilding tool and how one fight their way through to make them work very fascinating.
On a side note, similar thing happened to Thailand in late 60s and early 70s, where the government (finally) realized they need proper road infrastructure to effectively govern the mountainous rural areas after the communist party declared their own revolutionary government in those regions
That's why, somewhat in a reverse of normal maneuver and mobility role, infantry and tanks shot their way up through insurgent strongholds with M113s, M41s, and armored bulldozers supported (in a classic Vietnam war fashion) by UH-1 gunships and F-5s, for the engineers to build roads behind them.
Whether they succeeded? Well, those are all scenic roads for tourists nowadays
The Romans learned the same strategy over 2000 years ago. Wherever the Roman Empire went, roads and forts followed them and dotted the landscape.
@@VT-mw2zb All roads lead to Rome.
That's very good to hear, I hope the things here get calm like Thailand, greetings from Colombia.
I find it strange that modern nations often don't realize what ancient empires considered as state building 101
@@Pavlos_Charalambous I'd imagine that depends on the threat environment
if you've been focusing on doing other things for the last 100 or so years, it might take time to 'rediscover' those knowledge
in the late 19th and early 20th century, cities are where modern political-economic activities mostly occur, even rebels and revolutionaries of any significant scale are formed in cities - hence the focus on putting them under the grasp of national authorities via *railways and telegraphs* - not paving random roads to the jungles in the middle of nowhere
The comando 60mm mortar is made by indumil, they make 3 versions of it, a comando type, a standard base plated one, and a long tube long range one with several HE grenade types, the bad part is that they do make 81 and 120mm grenades but not the mortar tubes/launchers
That's one hell of a "highway patrol" setup the Colombians have there. I see I'm not the only one who was getting Mad Max vibes here. I'm liking these videos on armored/cavalry units from foreign armies. I'd like to see one about the Rhodesian Armored Corps or maybe the Recon Squadrons of the Force Publique.

I love the South American content its so great, its such a forgotten contient when it comes to weapons, armies and etc. While my favourite armed forces are Peruvians, their PACIPAT, UNIPAT camos are great looking, they have Amx-13 with turrets removed with 3 Kornets-E instead also they had VT-1/MBT2000 Chinese tanks on parades while not eveing buying them nor fielding them again its a great and a interesting nation with interesting arms industry with their Infantry having panzerfaust 3 or FAD experimental rifles looking like a space rifle that isn't fielded anymore.
America is a bit of a mixed blessing in that regard. War is rare between countries in the western hemisphere because otherwise America gets invovled, but the downside is America gets invovled a lot without war too. It's kind of telling that the US was willing to risk WW3 over a Latin American state allying with the Russians
@@arthas640when did that happen?
@@kurousagi8155 Cuban Missile Crisis, although technically they were allying with the USSR and not just Russia
@@arthas640 oh. That’s not why USA was ready for WW3. The reason why the Cuban Missile Crisis existed was because Russia was shipping nuclear weapons to Cuba and proceeding to disavow those weapons. The USSR and Cuba were not technically allied since there was no treaty agreement between them.
These are the two main reasons for the crisis.
As a Colombian, I gotta say this analysis is spot-on. Thanks for covering this. Please add Spanish subtitles for the Colombian audience

As a Brazilian it's quite ironic seeing our neighbors suffering from lack of government reach/authority cause here the problem is the complete opposite: the state knows EVERYTHING, nothing can run or hide from the state, the criminals that exist and are powerful are allied with the government in a certain way, the state is onipresent in our lives. It's impressive how even though we brazilians are culturally similar to our neighbors our politics are diametrically different, maybe that's the reason Brazil remained a whole state from the amazon rainforest to the southern steppes in the first place.

I moved from the States to Colombia a couple of years ago. My wife who grew up in Bogotá said that before Uribe was president, they never drove anywhere out of the metro Bogotá area when she was a teenager. If you wanted to go to another city, you flew, no exceptions. That’s why Uribe is almost a god to some people in this country. There definitely wouldn’t be tourism here now if he hadn’t cleared the roads.
guy cleaned the country at a high price, but still, he did it.

I believe those M715s are actually Korean K311/KM450s. Its a slightly more modern license built copy of the M715 still in production.
Its unbelievable how many KM450s are out there. I swear if its not in Europe, its most likely a Korean KM450 than an American M715.
You are correct. The M715 was actually a very good vehicle when the motor worked. The Koreans replaced the Kaiser 230 Tornado straight six with a Mitsubishi diesel. It also has a looking rear diff and will probably climb a tree.
And for full military vehicle pedantry, those aren't M35A2 2-1/2 ton trucks, they are KM-250s. The S. Koreans know how to build a good truck.
Hi there, i find this very interesting since i'm colombian. I'm not old enough but everyone like my parents older cousins and so on sometimes memorize about the famed "convoys" which were essentially military escort for civilian convoys to move safely, great video
Might just be nitpicky but that M715 looks like a K311 which is basically a (relatively) newer version of the kaiser jeep so it's not as bad as you'd think.
Wow Colombian here surprised we are on here very cool 😎 🇨🇴

As a Colombian I’ll say this again. The problem of our country lies within corruption not a weak military. As long as profit from drugs and illicit activities is accessible to corrupt government officials these criminal organizations will continue to exists.

Living in a major city like Medellin makes you think that you live in a safe country, but there’s always a video like this that reminds you there are warriors fighting in the jungle to keep us protected against the terrorists every single day. God bless all the soldiers in our country, most experienced and battle hardened warriors in latin America.

As a Colombian I appreciate the attention to detail and work you put into your research, also loved the jokes. insta sub.
I met the commandant of the Columbian marine corps at boot camp last week
This was one of the early spearheads of Seguridad Democratica, the major security state doctrine that was launched in the early 00s to reclaim what up to that point was a situation approaching late 2010s Afghanistan. The guerrillas had almost besieged major urban centers in the mountains such as Medellin and Bogota by operating freely in the mountain roads - in a country where mountain roads were the lifeline of cities. With kidnappings of civilians, burning of cargo trucks and passanger buses and shootings against commuters, Colombians were practically stuck and surrounded in their cities.
One of the first actions of Uribe's government involved caravans of civilian cars protected by armored squadrons such as these. Alongside with focused patrolling in "red" roads. The guerrilla checkpoints were pushed back into the mountains, and then were pushed back by the major military campaigns that pushed the guerrillas out of Cundinamarca and into the southern rainforest.
Yeah, it's like living in a Madmax movie but located in a jungle in the middle of a mountain range.
The Kodiak is a pretty darn truck lookin' truck for what it's worth. I also love that thing so I'm a little biased

Bro, I am Colombian and I have lived here all my life and believe me, I have never heard of armored trucks in the mad max way, it must be part of the special operations in Cauca or Caquetá, which are areas with high conflict and a lot of confidentiality is handled there.
This video is hilarious, I'm Colombian, most people living in the cities can turn off the TV and forget about war forever, it's mostly a rural narc economy and that's it, this highway strategy is cute, but President Uribe is mostly know here for creating a paramilitary army that became uncontrollable stealing more lands, killing more people and violating more women than any organization has ever done in the history of this country, the guy was listed by the american defence intelligence agency as member of the Medellin Cartel, most of his government staff and associates are dead or in jail, and he is in free and incredibly rich, with a personal army of five hundred bodyguards following him everywhere always fearing a vengeance than no one dares to deliver.
Funny since the paramilitary were so strong in the 90´s and essentially dismantled during the Uribe years 2002-2010. I guess you really know your country and never understood that paramilitary are the consequence not the cause of guerrilla activity.
ngl sounds like something out of the next Mad Max. Pretty neat.

This actually sounds like what happened in The Mad Max novelization
You know the simpsons episode where Springfield has to be moved due to homers poor waste management and the entire town being holed on trucks and Homer is jumping from his house to moes, that’s what this reminds me of.
As a Colombian i can tell you, this video is excellent, very well explained. Unfortunately with our low military resources and a big ass country with a nightmare geography, we have to get creative. I have seen some videos with actual combat in remote roads, our soldiers fight like hell. That's why the guerrillas nowadays just paint cars with grafitti and tell some "revolutionary" BS to the civilians and quicky go away, sometimes when things get hot they managed to burn down some trucks, but is not like the 90's or early 2000's, those were terrible times...
Bro low military resources the defense budget is 10 billion USD, the second largest in LATAM, the geography is an excuse to the poor procurement of equipment due to corruption.
@@viceralman8450 still is low for a Country with 56 million people with huge mountains and jungles. Colombia is not an easy country to keep together, we are a country of countries, the USA already knows that jungle warfare is the worst one and we didn't have a strong and advanced military industry, all high tech weapons and equipment must be imported and that's not cheap either....

Traveling by road in Colombia is a weighty endeavor. One often have to ascend and descend through various temperature zones, zig-zag for miles between step mountainsides, and go by seemingly bottomless ravines. Roads are so sinuous that a distance of 400 km on a straight line, for example between Cúcuta and Bogotá, will turn into around 600 km and can take up to 11 hours to travel, compared to 50 minutes by airplane. Or a more common one, traveling from Bogotá to Cartagena can take up to 18 hours over a distance of around 1.000 km, compared to 1h 30min by airplane. Traversing the country from Riohacha on the north to Pasto in the southwest would take around 30 hours. If you want to make a parallel with the USA, the fastest Cannoball Run from New York to Los Angeles took only 26 hours.
Okay that Corsa bit it hilarious. I drove one of these as my first car (though I doubt the Colombian army uses the 1999 version), and this is NOT a vehicle for any kind of combat situation or if you wanna get anywhere fast. 😂
So they went Mad Max but with a lot less sand.
This is incredible work ❤ gracias 🙏🏽
I had no idea my country did this. It is amazing.
It looks like the armoured truck in death race
