at Expo Defensa in the International Defense Commission in Bogota, Colombia. Today it was the opening ceremony that was attended by many international
0:29
international and national military delegation from all countries from South America. There is also a live demonstration performed by the Special Forces of Colombia
1:43
As a goal of this event, we have signed with a Colombian company which name is Corferius, an agreement to develop the development to develop the
2:13
the exhibition Expo Defensa for the future in order to make this show the hub of
2:22
America Latina for defense and security domains. This morning we had the opening 249 exhibitors coming from all over the world
2:35
Gesso is well ongoing with many exhibitors presenting novelties and high technology systems
2:42
technology systems and it's a good progress since the last show. This year, Spain has been invited as a nation of honor
2:52
Last time it was France and the Spanish pavilion is a good one with many exhibitors coming from Spain
3:02
There is 60 delegation coming from all Latin America and from Chile, Argentina
3:11
Argentina, Brazil and so on. And a few ones coming from Europe and the United States
3:41
former senior officer in the French Army And I am here. John Cochreel is here in order to promote our system
3:49
and especially this light turret behind me, to the Eresito National, so the Landforce of Colombia
3:58
the cavalry, cavalry force. So this turret is effectively our latest generation turret. It is a light turret. The weight is about 1.2 tonne in combat order
4:12
It is completely operated from inside the vehicle. It features a 25mm cannon from Northrop Grumann
4:21
and a coax 7.62 millimeter machine gun. The operator is located inside the vehicle and inside
4:31
the turret you will find. only the weapon system and one very interesting characteristic of this weapon is that
4:41
there is a double feeder so the operator can choose either AP FSDS ammunition or HE ammunition
4:50
in accordance to the target he wants to destroy. So mainly this turret is designed for
4:58
four by four vehicles six by six so four by four it is a vehicle's about six
5:03
16 to 17 tons, but we could also integrate these turrets on armored personal couriers
5:10
like the M113, which is in service in the infantry in this country
5:16
We could also integrate this turret on 8x8, but it's not a turret for infantry fighting vehicles
5:22
It's a turret for armored personal couriers, mainly. And we could also integrate this turret on our project of combat boats
5:31
and it is something that we are marketing here for the Colombian Navy
5:37
We can integrate this turret very easily on all their platforms, so 4x4, 8, M113
5:44
And I think it is exactly the kind of weapon system that they need to tackle the present threat
5:54
such as the narco-terrorism, and all the guerrilla movement and 25mm cannon is more than enough
6:06
to deal with this kind of threat. What I would say is that this TORI
6:12
this TORI, we have integrated in his vehicle, the 4-4, we've conducted operations in Portugal
6:21
in Portugal, after some months, during the course we have demonstrated our capacity and the capacities of this system of
6:33
the arm. And also, we can integrate this system of arms on the vehicles of the infantry, and
6:41
maybe tomorrow, if there is a project in the armada and on launches fluvial, for example
6:52
My name is Alberto Mejia, and I work with Armour International, a Colombian company
7:08
We have been in business for over 39 years And well this is the new Hunter XL Basically this is a new model a product type as I said
7:22
and this is basically manufactured for the Colombian army needs and many of the other countries around which need some things different
7:36
than the maybe other developed countries need. It is a level B-Sense
7:42
or Estanak 2, which is for 762 armor piercing. It actually comes with a ring
7:52
it comes ready to be able to fit the turret according to your needs
7:58
As you know, this vehicle is manufactured over Navistar chassis. It comes with a military power train transmission
8:11
machine. In the front we have a driver and a passenger, then two other officers, and then on the
8:19
back we have room for 12 extra persons. The vehicle comes with individual seats for every
8:30
passenger, comes with four point seat belts, double area conditioning. The idea is that
8:38
the passengers are comfortable. so they can arrive at their full potential to the mission
8:48
There is a lot of interest. It's Colombia, but we also have some interest from many other countries in Latin America
8:56
and we have interest also in some African countries. I'm Major Juan Camilo Vasani
9:19
I'm the chief of protection group. My group name is several people protection group
9:27
I'm going to do my colleague. Hi, I'm Mayor Andreas Frumeres. I currently work for Incipal Colombia
9:36
Regarding the Colombian National Police, its main mission is to contribute to
9:41
safety and security of all the inhabitants that are currently in our country and also to fight
9:47
all the different sort of crimes that we can face here in Colombia as well
9:54
This equipment is for close protection. We provide protection, close protection to the BIP personalities
9:59
and a special program that the government has for police. And this one is a shield
10:08
ballistic shield this one is a blanket ballistic and this one is a shirt ballistic
10:16
it's just a part of the equipment that we use also this is a woman of protections
10:22
this is the equipment that she has radio lighter the gum this equipment
10:31
because in Colombia the laws don't allow some kinds of wood so you can transport you can't transport all the kinds of wood so this equipment bring
10:47
the opportunity to identify why kind of wood is allowed to transport in the columbia because we have to take care of the environment you know especially from the Amazon Is this training for the service Yes of course These guys have got a specific training for use this kind of movement
11:04
Also you can find here the different kinds of woods. You can compare with the image here
11:09
We have a lot of towns far of the cities and also we need to try to make some educational
11:17
programs with the kids in special because they are vulnerable, population. So behind this special program, this is called in Spanish
11:25
open your eyes. When you say open your eyes, you say the kids, we are the
11:31
government, we are the whole police, we are here to try to educate, to teach you
11:36
new things in your life, don't feel more confident with us and we can find in
11:42
this program it's a really didactic, it's a kind of game for the kids
12:16
in vigilance or in any camp that we can't... She says it's easy
12:22
because we have the same training. It's the same for us. You have the same calls
12:28
in the police. Also we have the same equipment. And it's equal
12:33
It's equal the work or job as a female as a man
12:40
He's doing a great effort to at least be equally equipped to
12:46
to the criminal organizations. Because criminal organizations, they've got a lot of resources
12:53
Because the income they get from drug trafficking, for different firearms trafficking, for example
13:00
They get a lot from that. They can get very cutting edge equipment
13:05
So we fight to get equipment that's at least above theirs. and I'd say it's a non-stop challenge
13:19
because technology is always improving is always changing. We've got a lot of history
13:25
We had to fight major cartels here in our country in the 80s
13:31
but nowadays that's changed a lot. Find an amazing place in Colombia
13:36
Could we people when come here don't imagine how amazing this play
13:41
The people don't imagine the kind of... people they're going to find here and when the people come here so say oh my god the
13:47
colombians are amazing they're like colombians or oh my god you are unique in the world believe
13:52
me always is the same reaction to us always also is the same reaction when the people
14:00
is in for example in bogota and only need to spend one hour and change the climate for an example
14:06
