This tactic allows them to strike from a distance with precision, bypassing traditional defense measures. The drones are often modified to carry improvised explosive devices (IEDs) or grenades, making them a lethal and cost-effective tool in their arsenals.
- Surveillance and Intelligence Gathering: Cartels have also started using drones for surveillance purposes, particularly along the U.S.-Mexico border. These drones are sent across the border to monitor U.S. Border Patrol activities, identifying weak spots and timing crossings to avoid detection. This real-time intelligence allows them to adjust their smuggling routes and operations more effectively, making it harder for law enforcement to intercept drugs, weapons, and human trafficking activities.
- Cross-border Operations: The use of drones for cross-border surveillance represents a sophisticated approach to bypass traditional security measures. Cartels can gather detailed information on patrol patterns, border infrastructure, and even track law enforcement personnel. This intelligence is critical for planning and executing smuggling operations with higher success rates.
