One of the sons of drug cartel boss Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's has been arrested in Mexico - last time (2019) it led to absolute carnage - and this time it seems no different with heavy gun fire and planes being targeted. Is he off to the States? There’s no point keeping him in Mexico as he’ll escape - but I wonder why authorities decided now was the time to comply with America?

There is also some footage of the Mexican airforce PC-9 on attack runs kicking around. Its astonishing really, a countries military forces being used on their own land to suppress heavily armed gangs. Yikes.

Totally - it’s why I was surprised it wasn’t covered more. It’s civil war but on another level.

The guy with the Barrett .50 was being very optimistic.

Actually, civil war pretty much sums it up. The official state vs the shadow state. The latter being super-wealthy with its own army....

report inc the video of the C295 being sprayed

https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/305575

the .50 cal guy needs to work in his lead technique to put it mildly but it does seem (presumably) others managed to hit the C295 engine in flight.

what is the orange on the aircraft? some sort of fire suppression powder? the water seems to hose it off.

hard to imagine what it is like having a seemingly above the law militia roaming openly around your country with heavy weapons.
