Bogotá, Colombia - September 17, 2025 The Colombian government presented on Wednesday the new rifle manufactured by its state-owned industry, seeking to completely replace the rifles used by its military, which are manufactured in Israel, a country with which it cut diplomatic relations in 2024 in protest of the war in the Gaza Strip. "We are going to make our own rifles. Indumil (Colombian Military Industry) should be a platform for the Colombian metalworking industry," Colombian President Gustavo Petro stated on the social media platform X. Defense Minister Pedro Sánchez explained to the press that this is a step toward "strategic autonomy" by ceasing to depend on external suppliers.
