Ésa nota se ha recontrahipermultiplicado por toda la prensa internacional. Si quieres o gustas saber más al respecto, le invito a leer el tema del Parque Acorazado de Colombia, que también está en ésta área...

Merkava Negotiations with Colombia

Israel is negotiating a $250M deal for the sale of Merkava Mark IV battle tanks to Colombia, according to a report in the Yediot Aharonot. The sale, if concluded, would be the first export deal for the made-in-Israel Merkava, one of the world's best main battle tanks. According to the newspaper, the purchase would be part of an upgrade of Colombian armed forces in response to a perceived threat from its neighbors.

Lo interesante de la nota es que es una replica del medio informativo Israeli, Elul Group Ltd, haciendo eco (pero no copiando) la nota inicial aparecida en el también medio periodistico Israeli, Yediot Aharonot, y que es de dificil constatación.




Yediot Aharonot nunca se refirio al Merkava IV, pero encambio siempre hablo de la oferta de IMI por el M-60 upgradeado, comunmente conocido como Sabra III. La nota de Elul, confirma ya en una dirección mas concreta respecto a los deseos de Colombia por hacerse del Merk 4.



Por otro lado... ya deberian despedir al maestro carpintero (si, porque de artista del mimetismo no tiene un pelo) que ha pintado tan pavorosamente los vehiculos del EJC. De continuar asi con ese esquema Mousse du Chocolat con sorpresa de Caramelo, no les auguro ni 5 minutos en el campo de batalla.

Ese es el problema de ser sólo "bravos guerreros": que no hay artistas buenos en el EJC...

Hombre, sólo llevamos fusiles, no brochas ni aerógrafos...

[Desmosedici]

:cool: Ése es el punto, Mariscal; en realidad, a uno no le preocupa tanto el Sukhoi Su-35 en sí y sus armas, lo que preocupa es el Comandante en Jefe de las Fuerzas Armadas de Venezuela...

Iris. Typhoon... uishhhhh... ése sueño es bien estratosférico, me conformo si de aquí al 2019 por fin tenemos algún F-16 Block 40 para arriba...

Lo mejor es que Colombia se haga de un vector que sea disuasivo, tan potente o similar a la punta de lanza de la AMBV. Sea un grippen o un block 50/60.

Y asi todos nos respetamos (hablo de los politicos) y todos felices, lamentablemente para ellos las cosas son asi.

Respetados foristas, cordial saludo.

Les dejo éstas fotos de los guardacostas de la Armada Nacional de Colombia ARC. Estas son lanchas tipo Midnight Express y poseen motores fuera de borda V8 de 350 caballos de fuerza.

[Alextdea]

Esas ultimas 2 pertenecen a un integrante de la ARC llamado Luis David Lopez, y particularmente fueron posteadas por mi en UNFFMM, las distinguí porque les metí una pequeña editada que solo es perceptible cuando se compara con la foto original.

Gracias por traerlas aca

Hola Anderson

Creo que estas en un error compañero, los motores en v8 son de 350 cv (caballos de vapor), y no es lo mismo que caballos de fuerza, los que aparecen ahí son de 200 y esos son v6.

Saludos

Me tomo el atrevimiento de postear esta foto del Sr. Felipe Rios del foro unffmm

Así es Loco (si me permites, por aquello de LocoAir jeje), mil disculpas por olvidar los créditos. Te cuento que antes no se podía mirar el foro unffmm, pero hace algún tiempo sí, y me estoy dando a la tarea de leer todas las páginas, me gusta el nivel de debate y la fuerte política de moderación, creo que me inscribiré, tengo mucho que aprender.

Saludos.

PS: Gracias ViC por la corrección.

No les dije, ya venía el resto de fotos...

Sobre los equipos montados, la verdad no tengo idea y me encantaría saberlo ( en especial ese domo superior), lo unico que se es que son equipos de ELTA sistems.

Saludos.

Se acuerdan de unas viejas discusiones sobre la efectividad y alcance de los calibres 5.56 y 7.62 y las intenciones de que el 5.56 fuese modificado por parte de la NATO a un calibre intermedio? pues aquí hay un poco mas de información y tal vez estén interesados en leerlo ;) un saludo

US rifles not suited to warfare in Afghan hills

By SLOBODAN LEKIC
Associated Press Writer

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- The U.S. military's workhorse rifle - used in battle for the last 40 years - is proving less effective in Afghanistan against the Taliban's more primitive but longer range weapons.

As a result, the U.S. is reevaluating the performance of its standard M-4 rifle and considering a switch to weapons that fire a larger round largely discarded in the 1960s.

The M-4 is an updated version of the M-16, which was designed for close quarters combat in Vietnam. It worked well in Iraq, where much of the fighting was in cities such as Baghdad, Ramadi and Fallujah.

But a U.S. Army study found that the 5.56 mm bullets fired from M-4s don't retain enough velocity at distances greater than 1,000 feet (300 meters) to kill an adversary. In hilly regions of Afghanistan, NATO and insurgent forces are often 2,000 to 2,500 feet (600-800 meters) apart.

Afghans have a tradition of long-range ambushes against foreign forces. During the 1832-1842 British-Afghan war, the British found that their Brown Bess muskets could not reach insurgent sharpshooters firing higher-caliber Jezzail flintlocks.

Soviet soldiers in the 1980s found that their AK-47 rifles could not match the World War II-era bolt-action Lee-Enfield and Mauser rifles used by mujahedeen rebels.

"These are important considerations in Afghanistan, where NATO forces are frequently attacked by insurgents using ... sharpshooter's rifles, which are all chambered for a full-powered cartridge which dates back to the 1890s," said Paul Cornish, curator of firearms at the Imperial War Museum in London.

The heavier bullets enable Taliban militants to shoot at U.S. and NATO soldiers from positions well beyond the effective range of the coalition's rifles.

To counter these tactics, the U.S. military is designating nine soldiers in each infantry company to serve as sharpshooters, according to Maj. Thomas Ehrhart, who wrote the Army study. They are equipped with the new M-110 sniper rifle, which fires a larger 7.62 mm round and is accurate to at least 2,500 feet (800 meters).

At the heart of the debate is whether a soldier is better off with the more-rapid firepower of the 5.56mm bullets or with the longer range of the 7.62 mm bullets.

"The reason we employ the M-4 is because it's a close-in weapon, since we anticipate house-to-house fighting in many situations," said Lt. Col. Denis J. Riel, a NATO spokesman.

He added that each squad also has light machine guns and automatic grenade launchers for the long-range engagements common in Afghanistan.

In the early years of the Vietnam War, the Army's standard rifle was the M-14, which fired a 7.62 mm bullet. The gun had too much recoil to be controllable during automatic firing and was considered too unwieldily for close-quarter jungle warfare. The M-16 replaced it in the mid-1960s.

Lighter bullets also meant soldiers could carry more ammunition on lengthy jungle patrols.

The M-16 started a general trend toward smaller cartridges. Other weapons such as the French FAMAS and the British L85A1 adopted them, and the round became standardized as the "5.56mm NATO."

The Soviet Union, whose AK-47 already used a shorter 7.62 mm bullet that was less powerful but more controllable, created a smaller 5.45mm round for its replacement AK-74s.

"The 5.56 mm caliber is more lethal since it can put more rounds on target," said Col. Douglas Tamilio, program manager for U.S. Army firearms at the Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey. "But at 500-600 meters (1,600-2,000 feet), the round doesn't have stopping power, since the weapon system was never designed for that."

The arsenal, which is the Army's center for small-arms development, is trying to find a solution.

A possible compromise would be an interim-caliber round combining the best characteristics of the 5.56mm and 7.62mm cartridges, Tamilio said.

The challenge is compounded by the fact that in flat areas of Afghanistan, most firefights take place at shorter ranges of up to 1,000 feet (300 meters), where the M-4 performs well.

U.S. soldiers in militant-infested Zhari district in southern Afghanistan's Kandahar province said they haven't experienced problems with the range of their M-4 rifles.

Lt. Scott Doyle, a platoon commander in Zhari, said his troops are usually facing Taliban AK-47s.

"When the Taliban get past 300 meters (1,000 feet) with an AK-47, they are just spraying and praying," he said.

Martin Fackler, a ballistics expert, also defended the 5.56 mm round, blaming the M-4s inadequate performance on its short barrel, which makes it easier for soldiers to scramble out of modern armored vehicles.

"Unfortunately weapon engineers shortened the M-16's barrel to irrational lengths," Fackler said. "It was meant for a 20-inch barrel. What they've done by cutting the barrel to 14.5 inches is that they've lost a lot of velocity."
