Multiple sources have confirmed that the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), one of the most brutal cartels in Mexico, has formed its own elite unit of drone operators. U.S. based-security analysts, Mexican officials and cartel members themselves attested to the existence of CJNG’s elite drone unit. The unit consists of a highly trained group of “sicarios” or hitmen devoted to modifying commercial drones and turning them into flying bombs. These weaponized drones are then deployed against rival cartels and even the Mexican government itself. The merciless CJNG started weaponizing commercial drones more than four years ago, per researchers and Mexican authorities. Nevertheless, the formation of specialized drone groups shows that the cartel is moving its drone operations to the next level. “We began training as a group in 2021, but only this year we started operating,” said an anonymous member of the CJNG’s Operadores Droneros unit. He disclosed that the unit is supposedly made up of a dozen individuals, and works only in the states of Michoacan and Jalisco at present. The CJNG drone pilot remarked that his unit is mainly committed to locating and assaulting opposing cartels. These include the Los Viagras and Knights Templar groups in Michoacan and the Sinaloa Cartel in Jalisco. “It depends on which drone we use, but we can be miles away and confirm that [our rivals] are at a certain house or vehicle,” he said. “[And] then, [we] crash the drone with explosives.” The Operadores Droneros unit is still a new and unpopular group inside CJNG, according to an intelligence official inside the Mexican Armed Forces (FAM). Nevertheless, the official said this does not mean that the unit is harmless. CJNG using, weaponizing China-made drones The drones used by the cartel are generally made in China and purchased online through retail platforms. The CJNG pilot said the drones are then packed with improvised explosives, including potassium perchlorate and aluminum. Shrapnel such as buckshot and nails are added in for more damage. An exclusive video acquired by the Daily Beast featured an Operadores Droneros henchman packing explosive charges inside plastic bottles. It also showed nails and buckshot near the working area, as well as a commercial drone in the back of a pickup truck. Several sources inside CJNG verified the clip’s authenticity. According to them, it was recorded a few hours before an August 2023 attack against the Knights Templar in the village of Apatzingan at Michoacan state. The anonymous CJNG member said “Americans and a Colombian man” were the founders of the cartel’s drone operations. These individuals trained cartel members how to source, fly and detonate a commercial drone. “A gringo [American] showed us how to make our own explosives since sourcing a real plastic explosive could be too attention-grabbing,” he recounted. “And the Colombian showed us how to drive and maneuver a drone.” Explosive drones have been one of the most dangerous weapons employed by cartels against the Mexican government. In one such attack from November 2022, explosive drones piloted by CJNG operatives attacked a caravan from the Mexican military as they came to the town of Tepalcatepec in Michoacan. News reports said four were killed and six others were injured in the attack. (Related: Mexican cartels now using weaponized DRONES to fight law enforcement in escalating drug war.) CBS News also reported that attacks involving drone-carried bombs, which were unknown in Mexico before 2020, have been on the rise. The Mexican government has recorded 260 such incidents as of writing. Between 2021 and August 2023, the FAM captured 23 weaponized drones. The drones were sized in mainly three states – Michoacan, Guerrero and Jalisco – where CJNG actively operates. Follow DrugCartels.news for more news about the Mexican drug cartels.

The federal government was not happy when licensed drone operator Davin Phelps tried to film the suspected origin of the so-called “wildfires” that burned down Lahaina and other nearby spots on the Hawaiian island of Maui. According to Fox News host Will Cain, who relayed the bizarre story, Phelps’ drone was grounded by force as it neared the target site. Not long after that, federal agents paid Phelps a visit to have a talk about the matter. During this meeting, federal agents reportedly told Phelps that he is prohibited from filming the area where the Maui Fire is believed to have started. Phelps was still able to capture some footage before this, though, which he shared with Cain. That footage shows entire buildings across entire city blocks reduced to gray ash while the trees surrounding them remain intact. This, many believe, serves as evidence that “wildfires” are not to blame, but rather directed energy weapons (DEWs). Phelps also shared with Cain numerous still images that he captured, which show other strange anomalies that point to this disaster being another false flag incident possibly perpetrated by the government itself. “I don’t want to feed ridiculous conspiracies, but all I can do is tell you the truth,” Cain wrote in a series of posts on X, formerly known as Twitter – check out some of the pictures and video footage below. “I just spoke to a videographer from Lahaina. Davin Phelps. He’s a licensed drone pilot. He’s been flying over Lahaina for the past week. And he has stunning and haunting images of Lahaina.” I don’t want to feed ridiculous conspiracies but all I can do is tell you the truth. I just spoke to a videographer from Lahaina. Davin Phelps. He’s a licensed drone pilot. He’s been flying over Lahaina for the past week. And he has stunning and haunting images of Lahaina. pic.twitter.com/zPNa6JEVt0 — Will Cain (@willcain) August 22, 2023 (Related: Was the Maui Fire a natural occurrence or the product of global warming terrorism?) There needs to be more transparency as to what really happened in Maui It turns out that Phelps was hired by an attorney to fly his drone over the suspected area where the fire started, though the airspace above Lahaina has currently been dubbed a no-fly zone for the time being. “But as you can see from the footage that hasn’t stopped him from getting images of Lahaina Town,” Cain noted. “But it was a different experience at the fires [sic] origin.” When the feds showed up at Phelps’ door to have a talk, he pressed them for transparency as to why Lahaina is a no-fly zone, and why the government does not want American citizens to learn the truth about what happened there. “Apparently licensed drone pilots fly through an app coordinated with the FAA,” Cain explained. “That app can deny you permission to fly and remotely ground your drone. It’s very rare. But when Phelps got to the suspected fire origin area he was denied flight and grounded.” “Then he says two government officials (he doesn’t remember what agency) quickly visited him, asking for his license, and ran him off the Lahaina Intermediate School parking lot where he attempted to launch.” What Cain now wants to know is why is there so much secrecy in Lahaina right now? Is there some kind of liability we are unaware of? What about accountability? And why no clarity whatsoever about the true origin and cause of the fire? What are they trying to hide?
