US military aircraft may have spied on drug cartels during recent flights near Mexican territory, the government said Tuesday.
Mexico was aware of two such US military flights in late January and early February that were in international airspace, Defense Minister Ricardo Trevilla told a news conference.
Asked whether the aircraft had spied on Mexican drug traffickers, the general said: "We can't rule it out because we don't know what they did."
The plane that Mexico observed flying near its territory did not violate national airspace and kept its tracking devices on, in compliance with international regulations, Trevilla said.
Any intelligence gathered from Mexican territory would have to be shared under agreements between the two countries, he said.
CNN reported on Monday that the US military had "significantly increased" its aerial surveillance of the cartels over the past two weeks.
It said that spy planes had flown at least 18 missions over US territory and in international airspace around Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, passing near the cartel stronghold of Sinaloa on one occasion.

There is no difference between
the Mexican Government,
and the Mexican crime cartels.
They are one in the same.
The Cartels have got some good USA spy tech from Zelensky Inc. So I’m sure they would know.
Duh.
If Mexico opposes this, they are admitting to being cartel allies.
Peace is most always better than kinetic war.
I’m former military, and did my best to make sure my equipment could destroy nations in minutes if so ordered.
Criminals are not nations.
Cartels and all their families won’t be missed.
Get my drift?
Meh-he-co supports the Cartels?
[Of course they do...]
Taking out the cartels is Mexico’s job. If we have to do it for them we should get payment in kind, say make Baja California California again.
We’ve got as much of a right to be there as they do, it’s international airspace. They can go suck it.
Taking over “Baja California” would make a great pilot project on how to take over the Gaza Strip and make it a totally GREAT resort destination.
I think the Mexican government is doing civilization a favor by reminding the cartels that the Big Bad Trump is lurking and looking - and there is not much the Mex government can do about it.
Those at the top of the cartels - at least those that want to keep living - might consider changing careers.
Vete al infierno pendejos!!!
México es un corrupto
agujero de mierda gigantesco!
De verdad.

‘Rats and GOPeers in Congress and the USAID...
Ya think??! :)
Why not? Trump could do wonders with that non gang infested beachfront property.
Americans do the jobs that Mexicans are just not willing to do.

Dump the raw data, minus the @125 million different cell numbers. Let them sort it out.
So?
