Ahead of Defence iQ's annual International Military Helicopter conference, Defence iQ interviewed one of the key commanders who oversaw the Colombian Army’s helicopter missions against insurgent groups.
In this 'In Conversation With', Major General Emiro Barrios (Ret) reflects on his time as Commander of Colombian Army Aviation and shares insight into the most difficult challenges he and his units - some of these were about the lack of resources, some were technological.
General Barrios also emphasizes the need for Colombia’s international partners and allies to learn from their experience in battling insurgent groups, and highlighted the enduring importance of helicopters, particularly as the world’s populations become increasingly urbanized.
