Two Super Tucano and are flying to San Isidro
- 12.8.2009

Santo Domingo .- Two Super Tucano aircraft, the first of a fleet of eight, left yesterday for the assembly plant of the firm Embraer in Sao Jose Dos Campos, Brazil, destined to San Isidro Air Base, which is expected arriving in the next 48 hours.

With the arrival of these aircraft, for which organizes a welcoming ceremony led by President Leonel Fernández, the Dominican Republic became part of the group of nations that have purchased these aircraft for the fight against drug trafficking, smuggling and illegal immigration in Latin America.

The two aircraft are flown by Air Force officers Dominicana (FAD), accompanied by two Brazilian experts. They left at 1:30 yesterday afternoon in Sao Jose Dos Campos, a city that belongs to the State of Sao Paulo and is distant about 45 minutes by bus from the metropolis.

The route taken by aircraft was not revealed, nor the identity of pilots Dominicans, for security reasons.

Last Friday, at a ceremony in the hangars of the manufacturer, Embraer executives signed with the Armed Forces minister, Lt. Gen. Pedro Rafael Pena Antonio, documents of transfer of ownership of the Super Tucano to the Republic Dominican.

Having completed the procedure, had to wait for authorization from the United States government for the flight of aircraft, because they possess highly secretive technology that is closed to the countries to which the government of President Barack Obama considers dangerous.

"Definitively, the `aircraft are airborne and in route to the DR and hopefully in less than forty-eight hours will arrive in San Isidro," a military source said the newspaper Listin Diario.

No details of the ceremony, neither the day nor the hour for the formal reception of the aircraft, which will allow the country have their own autonomy to detect and stop any plane that attempts to violate the national airspace.

Wow! These gorgeous planes are sexy looking, and mean flying machines, don't you think?
I can't wait to watch them shoot something in mid air, or enforce our sacred border boundaries....
ra ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta

Definitely intense looking. If we use those to protect the border I'm not sure there will be a border left.

They sure look mean which is the perfect image that the drug lords need to be faced with. Now it would be nice is CESFRONT had the image on every officer at the border.

Intimidation factor with these babies is high, but they will have to act like scarecrows, because just two of them can not cover the whole island chasing fast turboprops or small jets. Remember we have close to 49,000 square kilometers of land, plus add another bunch for the sea borders that have to be patrolled,
and no radar at present, so don't expect a lot on the beginning until all the cards are in place.
They will do some damage if they dive bomb the border areas, LOL. That will send a mass
exodus back to voo doo land, muy pronto.

Belly, from what I hear and what I know, Cesfront is entirely corrupted, sad but true. There has to be other controls in place, such as night vision equipment, satellites, unmanned planes, surveillance cameras, barbed wire fences, militarization of porous border areas, 24/7 patrols, and stiff penalties and jail time for military taking bribes.
Sounds like it is possible? Not at the present unless the economic situation in Haiti greatly improves and that is not about to happen for at least another 10 years.

I have question for you. Why do you continue to place my quote in every comment you post? Are you trying to be funny?

The better solution would be to write a law that allows the Campesinos in the border line to take care of the border because they have already stated that they are more than willing to do it for free. If we let them take care of it next year we won't be talking about illegal immigration. to me is a much faster and free solution to the problem. They already said they don't want CESFRONT anywhere in the border.

Check it out.

Wish list:

1) Forest/park Rangers: Patrol and protect flora and fauna in our forests, natural parks and especially border area. Trained by the best from South Africa and the USA.

2) A highly mobile, very modern, elite border patrol. Trained by Israelis & the US. This is for pure border patrol, not military aggresion. Border patrol means preventing illegal immigration/people-drug trafficking etc. Not a standard army on patrol against invasion. A heavy military presence will only lead to worse criticism from abroad as pointed out to me by various posters.

3) The aforesaid help from Domincan civilians (ganaderos, campesinos, etc)

4) Very stiff and strictly imposed fines and imprisoment for bribery or breaking the rules.

Thank you for that excellent video you got for us. That is up close and personal what our cattle rancher are going thru right at this moment to survive in the Fronteras. Because of this same trick by the illegal Haitians coming over to steal our rancher's livestock Trujillo ordered the "Corte" masacre.

I think what is happening right now in the Fronteras unaware the Haitians are waging a psychological war on the people in the fronteras. It is not a coincidence that the majority of people living there is illegal Haitians. They are playing us the same way the French Buccaneer played the Spanish Crown. Remember when these pirates used to comes and harass the Spanish living of what is now Haiti they basically wear them down and forced the Spanish Crown to move its resident to the east of the island.

The only way if it we get many of these brave Dominicans like the ones showing in the video to do what our government can't do for us. And when they start taking down these thieves the government back them against the evil Jesuit and the human rights rats.




“A World Destroyed, A Nation Imposed: The 1937 Haitian Massacre in the Dominican Republic"

For some months, I have traveled and traversed the frontier in every sense of the word. I have seen, investigated, and inquired about the needs of the population. To the Dominicans who were complaining of the depredations by Haitians living among them, thefts of cattle, provisions, fruits, etc., and were thus prevented from enjoying in peace the products of their labor, I have responded, ‘I will fix this.’ And we have already begun to remedy the situation. Three hundred Haitians are now dead in Bánica. This remedy will continue
