Colombia will unveil its first domestically made drone today as a nation reliant on U.S. weaponry nurtures its own arms industry.

The prototype, on show at a defense fair in Bogota, has a range of 150 kilometers (93 miles) and a carrying capacity of 100 kilograms (220 pounds), with future models set to hit the market in about two years, according to the Colombian Air Force.
