Colombian Ministry of National Defence’s New Acquisition

The Colombian Ministry of National Defence has announced that it has placed an order for 18 x ATMOS 155mm self-propelled howitzers from Israel’s Elbit Systems.

Details of the Deal

The deal, which is said to be worth an estimated $101.7 million, has come as a huge surprise. It was previously believed that Nexter’s CAESAR six-wheel self-propelled Howitzer would have been selected for the Colombian Army. However, the CAESAR was deemed too expensive, costing Bogota $114 million, compared to Elbit’s offer of $101.7 million.

Context of the Acquisition

This acquisition comes as the Colombian government ramps up its operations against the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), who announced plans to rearm themselves back in 2019.

Name is Patrick, I live on the Caribbean island of Trinidad and I have had an interest in military history and news since I was young. I like to focus on the lesser known events in military history, as well as highlight countries and regions you normally don't hear about often. So i hope i am able to inform you correctly and make you a little more aware of the world around you.
