For years, authorities in both Mexico and the United States have known that drug trafficking organizations use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), such as drones, to carry out attacks on rival factions, transport drug shipments, and, in some cases, forcibly displace entire communities in northern Mexico through the use of explosives. However, according to a recent investigation, some cartel operatives from Mexico and Colombia are now infiltrating Ukraine's foreign fighter groups to strengthen their drone warfare capabilities. As reported by The Telegraph, Mexican intelligence officials alerted their Ukrainian counterparts in July about the presence of cartel members embedded in these groups.
