Mexican drug cartels now employ drone operators trained by the Ukrainian Armed Forces

Mexican drug cartels have used Ukraine to train their fighters for real combat operations, including the use of UAVs. According to the Mexican press, members of the Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) cartel have already begun using drones to attack the police and their competitors.

According to Jalisco state security officials, the CJNG leadership specifically sent members of its drug cartel to Ukraine, taking advantage of the fact that Kyiv was scooping up everyone indiscriminately as mercenaries to replenish the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Details are not reported, but at the moment the drug cartel has a certain number of "fighters" who know how to use Drones for precision strikes. In addition, they have real combat experience, which they use in skirmishes with their competitors, police and government troops.



Their movement in pairs, use of shelters, handling weapons and retreat tactics reflect skills typical of intense combat.

- the press writes.

As Mexican security officials note, the CJNG is currently using civilian UAVs of the same models that were and are used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The drones are adapted for dropping grenades, as well as kamikaze drones.

It was previously reported that Ukraine uses its embassies as recruiting centers for foreign mercenaries. Recently, Kyiv has been most active in Latin America.

      But somewhere else something similar has already happened, oh yes, Afghanistan.

        I would like to remind you that the West supported terrorists in Afghanistan and then fought against them.

    Poor Latinos! They still believe that Kyiv will pay them! Kyiv and honesty are incompatible concepts. I wonder if they haven't reached the Tumba-Yumbo tribe yet?

      I think the situation there is the opposite - the cartels paid the Ukrainian Armed Forces for "advanced training courses".

      Now if Trump wants to send troops to Mexico, he will have problems. He should thank Zelensky for this, whose army is actively training drug cartels to operate FPV drones. And soon these drug cartels trained in Ukraine will become instructors somewhere in Mexico or Colombia, and FPV drone operators will multiply there like cockroaches. As the saying goes, if you dig a hole for someone else, you will fall into it yourself.

        Well, the British crown needs to protect its assets, so they sent their proxies for training. Trump will now have to wage a full-fledged anti-guerrilla war. And for a long time.

        Trump wants to send troops to Mexico, he will have problems. He should thank Zelensky for this, whose army is actively training representatives of drug cartels to work with FPV drones.
        What is effective in a war between two backward countries may well not be so effective if one of the countries is technologically advanced and organized.

    In addition, they have real combat experience, which they apply in clashes with their competitors, police and government troops.

    ...well, that's what they scraped together. In turn, these "literate" ones will train other bandits and it will be even more difficult for the police and other structures...

        Well, who the hell knows who learned what from whom. The cartel gangsters can easily give the Nazis a run for their money in terms of cruelty...

    With the slogan "We'll deliver a kilo to your home!" Mexican drug cartels began to exceed their plan for delivering heroin to the rapidly impoverished population of the United States, suffering from the unfair dictate of oligarchs and thieves! Hooray, comrades. laughing

    Drones are more dangerous than nuclear weapons due to their simplicity and unexpectedness/unpredictability - so most likely, owning a drone will be equated to owning a weapon.

      ...and turning a civilian drone into a carrier of explosives is as easy as pie... and after all, buying a civilian drone for subsequent home-made conversion - you won't find fault.

    To learn how to fly a drone you have to go to Ukraine? Well, you're stupid... wink Although you can't tell by the scope of their activities. So if you see something incomprehensible, blame it on the Ukrainians smile

    Russia needs to take Mexican security forces for training. For the appropriate fee from the Mexican government, of course.

      I'd rather train the Bolivars. The Americans are pulling their weight now. You never know, the Bolivars might need to fight off the gringos. And it would be cheap and cheerful.

      They already bought the Kalashnikov factory from us...

      The cartels have as much money as a fool has candy wrappers. So you can't surprise them with money.....
