Ulysses Trojan Horse, German Rescue of Benito Mussolini, Israeli Entebbe Rescue Operation, Peru´s Japanese Embassy Rescue Operation and Colombia´s Jungle Rescue: Operation Jaque (Check, as in Check Mate)Simply put.. the took it out of the field! blowing everybody´s mind. Military men around the globe are still wondering: What the hell was that??

Could you imageine the level of secrecy involved in this operation? That every single FARC terrorist was fooled on to the exchange and not a single shot was fire!This marvelous piece of military operation rivals next to Otto Skorzeny´s rescue of Mussolini in WWII an rivals with the most famous ruse of all time, The Troyan Horse, don´t you think?

Tru this messages they were drove to the site were thr videos were shot and the exchange was made. The stupid terrorists tought they were handing them to other guerrilla squadron... in reality they were giving them freely to the Colombian government which had fooled them during more than a year. The orange helicopters were just part of the plan to play with their minds. Guess they should train their eyes better in recognizing helicopters schemes next time, ha?

In reality, they were fooled by Colombian Army intel and by a deep undercover penetration into their own ranks, that lasted more than a year!Their comunications were intercepted and the Colombian intelligence officers were able to decypher their messages. In turn, new decieved messages were entered into the channels of the guerrilla´s middle ranks, the ones in charge of the hostages. They were tricked in to think they were speaking with their bosses in the FARC high command.

Our Colombian Army, always as resourcefull and imaginative, came with the crazy idea to mount an operation so wild in conception, that dealed with the ruse of painting the two helicopters with white and orange, similar to the Venezuelan SAR, in order to fool the guerrillas mind and trick them into think they were just moving the hostages in to a mountainous location.

ANTILLARD, get it straight man: this operation was so succesful, that the Colombian Army disguised two of its own Mi-17 russian made helicopters, as both Mi-17 SAR (Search And Rescue) helicopters also used by Venezuela in previous "humanitarian" liberations done earlier in the year in Colombian jungles.The terrorist goup FARC, erroneously called guerrillas (or freedom fighters if you like) treat the Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez as their ideological allied in the region.
