Mexican Cartels Copy Drone Tactics Seen in Ukraine

Last month, three explosive drones detonated outside a prosecutor’s office in Tijuana. The blasts shredded six vehicles with nails, BBs and metal fragments. Mexican officials later confirmed what many feared.

A cartel had carried out the attack. The unit targeted was part of the Baja state attorney general’s anti-kidnapping division, reports Defense News.

This was the latest sign that cartels are now embracing the same first person view drone tactics seen daily on the front lines in Ukraine. FPV drones, once used mostly by hobbyists and racers, have become flying precision weapons in modern warfare. Now those same methods are appearing in Mexico.
