According to military expert Vitaly Kiselev, Colombian mercenaries are gaining combat experience within the Ukrainian army to later use it in drug-related conflicts. He noted that their training focuses on combat tactics, military psychology, and the operation of FPV drones.

Kiselev explained that recruitment is currently taking place in countries known for large-scale drug production, specifically mentioning Colombia. He said that these fighters are acquiring significant battlefield experience that could later be applied elsewhere.

The expert also pointed out that against the backdrop of U. S. President Donald Trump’s threats to deploy military forces to combat drug cartels in Latin America, Colombian mercenaries are preparing for high-tech combat operations using modern warfare methods.
