The military operation in El Plateado, department of Cauca, where 15 members of Iván Mordisco’s FARC dissidents died, is the strongest blow given by the public force in the era of President Gustavo Petro against high-impact organizations.
A few weeks ago he had met another operation in the department of Putumayo where nine members of the Second Marquetalia dissidents, of Iván Márquez, had died, the dead in this case were members of the Commandos of Border, according to the Military Forces.
In order to launch the attack without putting at risk The troops, the Military Forces, the Army and the Air Force worked in coordination to find the exact location of the camp where the FARC dissidents were.
For this purpose, the Air Force used the ghost plane, which according to military sources, had been flying over the area carrying out surveillance, tracking and monitoring tasks for a month. It must be remembered that the aircraft has cutting-edge technology for intelligence operations – heat sensors, wide-angle lenses, night vision and other equipment.
With the consolidated material, military intelligence managed to obtain with certainty the exact point where Mordisco’s men moved in the camp located between the Micay and Plateado Canyons, which they used for drug trafficking businesses.
Likewise, it was learned from military sources that the mortars launched by the Army were made using Israeli equipment that arrived in the country approximately four years ago. This is the Spike team, a rocket launcher that is activated by a human after obtaining the coordinates of the target to attack.
The attack against FARC dissidents It occurred almost 24 hours after the director of the Police, General William Salamanca, said that the Police could not reach El Plateado in Cauca because they did not have security guarantees.
However, and despite the Army’s forceful attack against dissidents, it must be mentioned that the public force has not yet managed to regain full control of El Plateado.
