Bomber Drones In Mexico

The drug cartels all over the world are among the most dangerous groups in the world. And they often carry out their own form of “justice. Now they have a new way of doing it that involves drones.

The drug cartels in Mexico have decided that guns are too old school. So they modernized their ways of getting rid of people. And it also solves some of their problems. Using a hitman or a member of the cartel to shoot your enemy or even just to maim him can’t really be done for people who are well protected. So, the drug cartels decided to look for answers in modern technologies.

Drones have lately become an accessible, functional, and cheap technology that allows you to fly for miles and watch the surrounding thanks to the integrated cameras that wirelessly transports images to your smartphones or a specialized controller for the drone even if it is miles away.

Explosive Drones

According to the findings of Mexican police, the Mexican drug cartels started using an explosive known as C-4 which will create a shock-wave with a lethality of 50 % in a 1-meter diameter or 99 % lethality if it explodes at a distance of fewer than 70 centimeters from the target.

The combination of C-4 and drones allows you to hit to target very precisely even if it is hiding in a well-protected area where you would have no chance of bringing a gun or other lethal tools. Plus, it is perfectly anonymous and safe for the perpetrator. You just fly the drone with the bomb into the midst of the enemy's base and easily kill him even if he feels safe drinking tequila at his pool.

Sadly, not only drug cartels can use this easily accessible technology. Terrorists can use it as well. Thus it is no surprise that protective technologies that can destroy or disable drones from a long distance are quickly being developed.
