The Colombian Army in February 2023 showcased its Rafael Spike ER anti-tank missile systems for the first time, having quietly purchased them in 2019 and receiving them a year later.

The army revealed the updated systems during a ceremony in Bogotá on 14 February. Military sources told Janes that the service acquired a small batch of three launch units and more than 15 missiles to reinforce defences against armoured threats.

The new missiles are mounted on M966 Humvees operated by the Medium Combined Arms Task Force No 1 (FUTAM), located in La Guajira department near the Venezuelan border.

The Colombian Army, based on strategic reviews and new mobility and manoeuvre warfare tactics for addressing potential external threats, identified a need to increase its anti-tank capability, in part by adding range.
