The Colombian National Army has recovered a 7-inch FPV Mark4 V2 drone during operations in Patía, Cauca Department. Affiliation remains unconfirmed, but given the region's dynamics, it's presumed linked to FARC dissident groups (such as those under the Estado Mayor Central / EMC). This marks what appears to be the first photographic / visual evidence of FPV (First-Person View) drone technology in the hands of criminal/insurgent organizations in Colombia, technology already notorious for its use in explosive attacks and even downing aircraft elsewhere in the country.
