I love the aircraft, when i was a kid my sister bought me an Argentine A-4 model is my memory is not wrong. it was 1982, they sold those models in the toy stores, great fun i had with my A-4, despite i know now war is horrible, in my childish mind, the A-4, made me a pilot for a few hours

Black week in Colombia: 15 members of the National Police of Colombia die in the crash of a UH-60 Black Hawk. ¿Shot down or accident?
(Defensa.com) A helicopter of the National Police of Colombia, registered PN 0608, crashed in the Urabá Antioquia, northwest Colombia, when performed with two other helicopter operations against organizations outside the law offenders in the area.
Although one of the crew of the helicopters accompanying him said the plane had been shot down, the defense minister came to disprove this hypothesis and said that everything was due to adverse weather conditions that occurred that morning. Poor visibility would have caused the helicopter collided with a mountainside flying over 180 km / h.
This version does not clarify the doubts about the accident, because under unfavorable weather and low visibility is unlikely that a trained helicopter pilot flew the aircraft at the rate that ensures the head of the Defense Ministry. Nor can we forget that this helicopter had a weather radar, allowing you to identify the geographical features of the terrain. The helicopter was taking part in a security operation called Agamemnon, with which they intended to hunt down several clansmen Úsuga as their leader Dario Antonio Úsuga, known as "Otoniel" or Luis Orlando Padierna, alias "England". After the disaster area traveled to various patrols and two Black Hawk helicopters that ferried groups of search and rescue and medical personnel from the Air Combat Command No. 5.
This latest accident the lives of 15 members of the National Police, which added to the 11 killed in the crash of the aircraft CASA CN-235 FAC make these facts one tragic streak for national security bodies charged. Also it remains in doubt the sincerity of the statements of Defense Minister Luis Carlos Villegas, in the case of the CN-235 CASA said that a probable cause can be the accumulation of ice in one of the wings, hiding public opinion other relevant factors, such as changes made to Colombia this aircraft to turn it into a platform for electronic warfare, changes that have altered and weakened structural and electrical designs to locate and feed the new systems.
Doubts arise about the real conditions of the air capacity of Colombia, which to date is reduced investment budget for the year 2016 and that somehow has been relegated before the other forces, due to the decision of the president of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos, to cease any kind of aerial harassment against narco-terrorist group FARC is likely that a proportion of this, the budget for maintenance and new purchases has been affected.
So serious are these unfortunate events that some senators of the Republic have cited defense ministry staff to yield explanations for this series of accidents and to clarify the real causes of these accidents.

Peru deploy an engineering company in the United Nations Mission in Central African Republic
(Defensa.com) As we have been able to confirm, Engineering Company "Peru" will consist of about 226 troops and will enclose to five platoons, two of Engineering, two of Security and one of logistics, as well as a detachment of Military Health.

The Commander of the Colombian Air Force ensures that systems carried in the wrecked CN235 were just "computers"
(Defensa.com) Hiding or ignoring the reality of the aircraft carrying equipment for electronic warfare missions, very different from what are considered intelligence missions (in the first case not only radio signals are involved, are also blocked and will interfere with radar signals from other aircraft, missile batteries and other equipment of war), in an interview given to channel Colombian radio station La W, the current commander of the FAC, the Air Force Major General Carlos Eduardo Bueno Vargas, said that the intelligence teams carrying the wrecked CN-235 were "just a few computers" and that its electricity consumption not compromise the safety of the aircraft.
The CN235 carrying Israeli-made equipment, including electronic measurement system / Electronic Intelligence (ESM / ELINT), the electronic countermeasures (ECM), the Communications Intelligence and search for the source of signals (COMINT / DF support or Direction Finding), the Disruption of Communications (COMJAM), the Command and Control, the self-defense against antiaircraft missiles (or SPS Self Protection System) and satellite communications (SATCOM). Clearly it is not a simple computers with low power consumption, as the general said, again ignoring these teams require some additional systems that provide the electricity needed for its operation.
He also said that the design of this aircraft, acquired as a military transport plane, did not need any certification of the manufacturer to carry out the work they were performed. However, if so, the question is why the Corporation Colombian Aeronautics Industry (CIAC), the company that performed the work of integration of all systems, was, as evidenced by the attached image, managing the certification with Airbus Defence and Space, manufacturer of these aircraft ?.
