According to the report, at 10:00 a.m. in the Eastern Pacific, cartel smugglers thought they could outrun the law at 50 knots. What they didn’t know was that a U.S. Coast Guard HC-130J Hercules had been watching from 25,000 feet for hours, feeding real-time Link-16 data straight to Cutter Kimball. When the 418-ft Legend-class cutter couldn’t close the gap, an MH-65E Dolphin from HITRON lifted off. Compliance calls blasted through the LRAD, ignored. M240B warning bursts stitched the water, still no response.
Then the .50-caliber Barrett M107 came out—four Mercury outboards disabled with surgical precision. Dead in the water, the go-fast was boxed in by RHIBs carrying Tactical Law Enforcement Team South. In minutes, the smugglers were zip-tied, evidence seized, and the boat turned into a burning wreck. This is maritime interdiction at full speed—where aviation, precision gunnery, and boarding teams combine to crush cartel smuggling at sea. One $42M run, erased in under an hour.
Wow, an amazing job by the US Coast Guard, very impressive. They are truly doing their job. It seems drug cartels are numerous, they must be eliminated
