En primer lugar corregir un detalle del mensaje anterior, no son cuatro Grizzly Mk.II, el primero de ellos (con blindaje añadido) si que lo es, pero los otros dos en los que se aprecia la cabina son Mk.III, el modelo 6x6, se puede apreciar por la distancia entre las escotillas superiores.

Hace unas semanas me dieron la lista de todas las empresas de aviación que conforman Blackwater Aviation... si descontamos los Harrier ganan (y por goleada) ¡a la Armada Española! :shock:

Ahora que lo del SuperTucano de entrenamiento lo dan por cerrado, toca ver si los cursos se limitarán a realizarlos en territorio estadounidense o si también tendrán flota propia/OPCON para entrenamiento en las diferentes AOs.

Blackwater citando a The Nation (no sé si Scahill lo habrá disfrutado o habrá cometido seppuku)
Dana C. Richardson escribió:Barack OBAMA Shows Tacit Support

The Nation reports, Barack Obama gave a qualified show of support to Blackwater Worldwide. One adviser stated that Obama does not plan to sign on to legislation that seeks to ban the use of these forces in U.S. war zones by January 2009, after a new President would be sworn in.

Obama’s Iraq withdrawal plan provides for some U.S. troops to remain in Iraq but how many is still uncertain. “If Obama comes into office next January and our diplomatic security service is in the state it’s in and the situation on the ground in Iraq is in the state it’s in, I think we will be forced to rely on a host of security measures,” said the senior adviser. “I can’t rule out and I won’t rule out the use of private security contractors.”

The U.S. Embassy in Iraq is slated to become the largest embassy in world history. If we continue to have diplomats and U.S. personnel traveling in and out of the Green Zone, a significant amount of protection will be required while still maintaining the embassy. Blackwater, DynCorp and Triple Canopy are the current companies that provide protection
for U.S. diplomats and personnel. Obama acknowledges that there may be no existing U.S. laws that could be used to prosecute security contractors for crimes committed in Iraq, but he will focus on bringing accountability to these forces. “What we’re focused on at the moment is getting the legal architecture in place that will hold these guys accountable to the same standard that U.S. military personnel are accustomed to.”

Obama has proposed increasing funding to the diplomatic security division to assist in a protective force composed entirely of U.S. government personnel but the State Department says the reality of the process to identify, train and deploy new agents could take years. As Ambassador Ryan Crocker stated in late 2007, “There is simply no way at all that the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security could ever have enough full-time personnel to staff the security function in Iraq. There is no alternative except through contracts.” Making diplomatic security a military operation would also pose serious challenges, as the New York Times reported late last year, “the military does not have the trained personnel to take over the job.”

One adviser indicated that contractors would continue to operate at significant levels overseas. “These contractors are not only providing private security functions; they are rebuilding schools, serving food and providing logistics to the Iraq communities.” Contractors continue to offer a cost effective solution providing temporary surges in capabilities in challenging environments.
Y hace unos días creo que fue SWAT quien preguntó por el rifle de Blackwater, este es el BW15, una versión de un M4 de Bushmaster con unos cuantos detalles de Magpul y customizados a la medida del cliente por la BW Armory.

Adiós a BW West Coast, adiós a Potrero.

Brian Bonfiglio, vicepresidente de BW West, mandó hace dos días una carta a la oficina del Condado de San Diego informando de que BW West retiraba su propuesta de acondicionamiento y uso de los terrenos de Potrero. Oficialmente porque no encaja con los planes de expansión, extraoficialmente porque se negaron a seguir pagando más para "estudios de impacto ambiental", "evaluación de ruidos", etc...

La carta:

Bonfiglio va a seguir con Blackwater, igual que los Rapid Response Teams montados hace unos meses y estrenados con ocasión de los incendios en San Diego, así que pronto habrá noticias acerca de si será en los terrenos de Moyock (que lindan con una antigua instalación de la USAF que dicen que quieren volver a usar) o si el casi-desconocido centro de BW en Tampa experimenta un subidón. O bien la cosa tira por el camino de enmedio y se montan una megabase en un país donde estén ya establecidos, como ArmorGroup con sus Camp Ghassan o Base Anjuman.

Hay muchos equipos y medios que están en dotación o en propiedad de las empresas de Prince Group, como Presidential Airways, Aviation Worldwide Services, EP Aviation LLC, etc... pero otros están registrados a nombre de fideicomisarios (los archiconocidos Trustee), práctica bastante extendida entre las empresas creadas o que han prosperado al amparo de la CIA :wink:
