29 Drug Lords Tried to Hide in Bunkers from US Navy

[Starmix]

The report said that when 29 of Mexico’s most feared drug lords vanished underground, they believed their concrete bunkers could outsmart U.S. intelligence. But they were wrong.In a coordinated strike involving the U.S. Navy, DEA, and Mexican Marines, special units uncovered a network of secret tunnels and fortified compounds hidden beneath Sinaloa’s mountains. What began as a simple search quickly turned into an international operation that exposed the cartel’s billion-dollar empire and dismantled its command chain in hours.

This documentary-style breakdown reveals the real-world tactics, surveillance systems, and joint-force coordination that made this takedown possible. From thermal drone imaging to midnight extradition flights, every second of this mission shows how modern warfare is redefining border security.

I guess the Democrats in Congress must be upset to lose their drug commissions, killing Americans to line their pockets. The spread of the drug cartels might have started during the time of Obama, Hillary, and Biden.

This report highlights the impressive coordination between U.S. and Mexican forces, showcasing how modern technology and intelligence-sharing can dismantle even the most fortified criminal networks. From my perspective, operations like this demonstrate the importance of international cooperation in tackling organized crime, especially when cartels become transnational threats. It’s fascinating to see how tools like thermal drones and precision raids can uncover hidden bunkers and tunnels that were once thought to be impenetrable. On the political side, while some may link the rise of cartels to past administrations, it’s clear that drug trafficking is a complex issue with deep-rooted causes, including demand, corruption, and economic factors. Blaming one party oversimplifies the problem. Personally, I believe that sustained, strategic enforcement combined with social and economic programs in affected regions is the most effective way to reduce the influence of cartels. Quick raids are impressive, but long-term solutions require systemic change, not just tactical victories.

Welcome to the dark intersection of military, intelligence and law enforcement cooperation between the U.S. and Mexico.

Yes, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has said "no U.S. military forces on Mexican soil" but so long as the cartels pose a clear and present danger to the United States, she has to work the U.S. So, working from offices in the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City, the CIA, Drug Enforcement Administration and Delta Force train, vet and assist elements of the Mexican Military and Federal Police (not the locals as no one on either side trusts them) who then, assisted by CIA and DEA surveillance and intelligence info, go out and attack the cartels.

Yes, the arrests and busts all have Mexican-only hands on them, but you can damn well bet the U.S. is somewhere in the background.
