The Mexican police in Chiapas have decided to stop playing hide-and-seek with drug cartels and unveiled a fleet of armed drones! Yes, you read that right — drones equipped with semi-automatic rifles patrolling the border with Guatemala, trying to outsmart cartel drones dropping improvised explosives. While cartels spare no means, Mexican authorities are trying to show who’s boss, but will this be another militarization or the real end of cartel dominance? With violent clashes between Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels ravaging the region and police corruption scandals, this drone warfare sounds like an action movie scene — but it’s real life. Smart move or just another expensive tech gimmick that might end up in criminal hands? Jump in the comments — are armed drones the savior or the next nightmare?
