The 1st NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!
Colombia
The Colombian Navy is in a phase of modernisation. Several advanced
patrol craft are on the drawing board, but its main sea-going frigates
are aging. As a stopgap, Colombia has accepted transfer of a 27-year
old South Korean Corvette.
Long exposure of Exocet missile canisters to tropical conditions has
caused a spectacular explosion in the Ammunition Dump in Cartagena.
For the time being, all Exocets have been de-certified and French
technicians are working on them.
Venezuela's navy has similar worries. Its Lupo-class frigates have
been in service for 30 years and are spending long periods in
maintenance. New Spanish-built OPVs and Corvettes have joined the
fleet, but funding shortages made them prepared for, but not carrying,
advanced SSMs and SAM-systems.
