Colombian President Abelardo De La Espriella said on 8 November that his government is studying counter-drone defence systems and the capabilities needed to go on the offensive against illegal armed groups, Semana reports.
He said the government is working to give the armed forces and police counter-drone systems and offensive capabilities with drones, and will try to develop and buy them despite the very difficult state of public finances. He accused the previous government of leaving soldiers and police without protection against drone attacks.
