    A video recorded around 2005 shows a Colombian Army special forces operation against a group of FARC guerrillas navigating a river, among whom was one of their leaders. Little is known about the source of the leak or the exact context of the ambush, but its release had serious consequences: several military personnel with access to the material were removed from their posts, as the images were considered as classified material at the time.

  2. A little overkill… 75000 rounds for such a small boat

  3. Quick breakdown of Colombian rebel groups. 

    FARC- drug traffickers and human traffickers.

    Los Paramilitares- drug traffickers and human traffickers. 

    Other minor groups- drug traffickers and human traffickers. 

  4. Probably listed that boat on Facebook marketplace after this.

  5. Man I was a machine gunner so I’m all about “Accuracy through volume” and all, but holy fuck they really wanted those guys dead. Surely an explosive of some sort could have saved some time, no?

    Can’t lie, some machine gunner sounded like he was riding the lightning until his barrel was probably glowing and I’m jealous

  8. Until it finally caught fire that boat looked like the safest place on the river

  10. Boats are surprisingly hard to sink with bullets. They could have saved some ammo

  17. Whoever taught them to shoot mush have taught them how to film too.
