Drug cartels are using weaponized drones armed with explosives to attack law enforcement in Mexico and the United States, equipping themselves like terror groups, authorities said.
One drone operator with the Carteles Unidos cartel – who didn’t provide his name – told The Courier-Journal last week that the criminal organization has nearly 100 drones and many carry explosives.
“We have many drone models. They’re not too sophisticated but can carry a considerable amount of explosives,” the cartel member told The Courier-Journal, adding that the equipment comes “legally from the U.S.” via “groups in Michoacán that support us and have legit money to buy the drones.”
In one April incident, Mexican police were removing blockades erected by criminal groups in El Aguaje, a town in Western Mexico, when a drone dropped a gunpower bomb on the operation, wounding two officers, authorities said.
Mexican Secretary of Defense Luis Cresencio Sandoval confirmed that Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), a rival of Carteles Unidos, was responsible for the April attack on police, and said that the drone operator was arrested.
A number of drone attacks have occurred over the last several years, and Mexican officials have launched multiple investigations into terrorism committed by the cartels, confiscating both drones and C-4 explosives, which are frequently used in the attacks. Authorities are concerned that the cartels could expand their use and obtain more deadly technology in the future.
