#1 Ecuador and fellow left-wing neighbour Venezuela are the twitchiest over this military build-up, with Hugo Chavez particularly vocal in his criticisms. He has recently obtained nearly 100 Russian tanks and rocket launchers with money borrowed from Russia.

Toys don't make up for competent and experience military. Colombia appears to have the most experience one in that region. I wouldn't recommend testing it out with one lead by those deemed 'politically reliable' rather than effective.
