Does she know you're supposed to WEAR the body armor and not just hold it?
😂 lol

The video looks like a propaganda video
@@welcometoshush Propaganda stunts cost money, news nation isn’t on CNN level yet .
They're about to F around and find out what the US military is all about....
All made up story's to push new drone laws and probably ban them
My basement couch opinion... US Military is second to none. But even the best Military can't solve every problem, E.g. Taliban/Afghanistan, even when the military-industrial spends trillions of our taxes.
Is the Cartel situation even trickier? Thousands of networked Cartel members and affiliate gangs operating in USA raking in ~$20 billion annually through the suffering of others. Their organization is optimized for smuggling and distributing illicit products. Even without subversive enemy nation state support, that gives them a budget and position that shouldn't be underestimated similar to previous politicians/press that are no longer. Heck, some politicians and their spoilt kids are probably Cartel customers, making them vulnerable targets. Full out escalation would be messy for everyone? Ok, rant over, back to something less depressing...
You can bet your bottom dollar that some of these enemies are within our own ranks of political power. That’s not something new.
@@AzaB2C I second that !
You must be referring to the US military back in the 90’s. Honey it’s 2025 snap back into reality.
Looks like the A-10 warthog isn’t going to be retired after all now🤔
BRRRRRRRRRR!😅
🥳🙏
Bet a29 pucara will be deployed soon
that shit was well known for killing friendlies, keep it retired we're in the big 25 now lol.
Ya'll can't even defeat a bunch of goat herders from afganistan, but acting all cringey and tough now, lmao
This is not unprecedented! You were all just not reporting on it because you did not care.
Biden administration
Totally agree 👍
I know right. When they report stuff it’s like they make it sound like a big panic and it’s just happening now, yet it’s been happening for the past several decades and only becoming more common knowledge now and this is when mass hysteria breaks out. Just like 2020…
Mexican military 🎖️🪖 does nothing ????????????😂😂😂😂
@joeyrinard6997 the Mexican military kicks ass, it's the, bureaucrats, politicians, and human rights advocacy groups. They get in the way and don't let the military do their thing.
I'm a Mexican Citizen. And they have been using drones as weapons since more than 4 years ago.
So what’s it really like there? We see these news people and that’s it.
@MADougfitness If you watch videos of the war the cartels have to control Culiacan, Sinaloa. You'll see why this is a problem.
Why you snitching 😂
@@faustomedina13 it ain't snitching if even the news reported a few years back.
@@nelivv i hope you're safe out there, thank you for the information
time to call in the Apaches
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
The Comanche were far more effective against Mexi forces.
Time to meet God
Ah64 are maintenance queens calls the drones we got

And yet nothing has changed.

That old man with dementia didn't declare them a terrorist organization.
@@S.0.Ghuh?? I am guessing you have 0 friends that work in border patrol. I do and I can confirm things have changed.
Psyop bot comments
U.S military is going to make Mexico great again.
Lol
or a crater.
@@fig8manno, not a crater hot shot.
It would be dumb for the US to start a war against cartel remember there are cartel members in lots of u.s community's do we really want war in are own back yard
Good luck with that 😂 you guys obviously don’t know what war is like
Don't worry guys. They were all approved by the FAA
Exactly…I don’t want to hear the cartel dropped “bomb by drones”…I want to hear we dropped more back. So ???? What happened next???
You forgot to ad FO at the end 😊
😂😂😂😂
Thank God! I was worried the cartel drones hadn’t been properly registered with FAA.
Carrying a vest doesn’t protect you.
Yeah, it's got to be worn to work.
Looks like a flak vest
Only the hand thats holding it.
Um level 3 & 4 plates are typically used, watch demolition ranch they show that these vests can easily tank small arms calibers and some intermediate rifle calibers.
@@John-lv3ye But, the caveat is that you actually have to put it on.
We have c-130 gunship drones
We?
Yeah but if they're not used whats the point.
ha ha yep! hell in the sky! if the A team comes out it's gonna be a bloodbath!
AC*-130 . C-130 is a transport plane.
who has?
"I've got this bulletproof vest now, but I don't like to wear it because it doesn't show my figure".
I don't think that vest is gonna do a whole lot against drones lady
She's gonna throw it at the drones, Captain America style.
At this point they're just asking for military intervention. If the Mexiacn government can't/won't deal with this situation the US government will.
I think we're going to be too busy trying to stop weapons from going into Mexico, since that's the deal Trump made with the Mexican president.
Sadly the government of Mexico is set up by organized crime ¿, that's why there is so much "Cartels are not bad" and those things
Damn this a lot more clear then the pentagon uap footage
The drone is at most a couple hundred feet off the ground compared to US military drones at over 25,000 feet off the ground
LMAO!!!
How did they get the footage?
@@offgrid1356 There is always that one that has to ask questions. Just watch the video and get in line with the rest of us with unquestioning obedience. This is real because they said so.
the videos from the pentagon are from the 2000s tho
Cartel on cartel?? Where did they aquire the video!!??
They fight each other a lot and they themselves uploaded it to add salt to the wound. Plenty of cartel shenanigans on the net
cartel members and CIA, DEA and news media all hold hands
Cartel made it open sourced.
electronic intelligence interceptions.
@@SamsungGalaxy-ls8ysnot even don’t make things up , just look it up on google they purposely post it to brag to over cartels
Lmao Im so glad the reporter is keeping her bullet proof vest so safe😂😂
US military be like... imma show you what a real drone strike is like.... fires hellfire missiles.
Being raised here in the border I don't think they will be that stupid too go to the US and fight over there. They're just getting rich by crossing immigrants. They basically capture them and will not release them until they pay a certain amount of money. That's how they work by covering the border helps, but it also affects people that have small business or businesses in Mexico. They will go up to those people and they have to pay per month or if not, they will steal from their store or just burn it down and also the vehicles that they have are vehicles that they steal from Mex-American people or from people that have moneyyy
Hey in Mexico it's not that difficult to get a friend car, you say it as if only the rich could afford it 😂
Wear your vest don’t just hold it, please
😂😂😂😂😂😂

He's not going anywhere. He counts the votes, remember?
Wrong video. 😅
time for bed gramps
Hahahahah what happened about trial for supposed crimes ?
@@TheGreatChancellor It's doesn't exist. This country has turned into a two-tier justice system. Ala Biden's preemptive pardons.Great for the criminals, but VERY bad for law-abiding citizens.🤣
Drug cartels are using bomber drones against each other. Ya'll, this is not a bad thing.🙌
Nobody cares what they are doing to each other. They start coming after border agents and they about to go bye bye. This administration isn’t f’ing around
Until you lose one of your own.. Think..
@ And then “against EACH OTHER” would no longer be the situation. THINK…
It is true that Cartel Gangs fighting among themselves is in itself not a bad thing as the honest hard working tax payer feels but, it is the collateral damage too innocent Civilians that is the bad thing.
@ Right.
I think it's about time we "found oil" in Mexico.
"bullet proof vests" protect against "drone bombs".. absolute comedy
The amount of weirdo people defending the cartels or thinking they have any chance against the US Military is mind boggling.
So true. The losers always defend other losers...
Is not that they're defending is just cartels shouldn't be treated lightly. A lot of cartels have experience or being previous special forces soldiers, either trained by some others or some american ones who switched for the money. But "if" they were to go hard right away it is possible to get rid of them quickly, plus cartels are already fighting among themselves( doubt they even team up when they really hate each other)
The United States failed in Afghanistan, believe me that a private army with multi-million dollar financing is more difficult to fight
Many use fear of the US military to mock those who complain about those who protect the cartels
I think that some people don't take lightly when invaders use the drgs the push as a reason to invade their home to try to steal their natural resources.
Oh yeah this isn't about drgs th US government makes tons of cash from the drg trade.
They are literally broke and are trying to go steal what's not theirs to take.
Uranium, Lithium, Gold and the Oil.
Just like G_A_Z_A Not only was the US government complicit in the bombing of tens of thousands of innocent people, now they're trying to steal that land. Wild chit.
I have a gut feeling that the enemies the government created are going to come knocking real soon.
You have to wear the vest lady for it to be effective
They bouta get a bigger drone strike 😂
So why we waiting on that report??…should have retaliated by now and reported on that!
They're about to find out what we're capable of.
Everybody gangster until a stealth f - 35 rolls up

she so unsafe she's holding a vest in her hands lol
Shouldnt have muted the audio 😂 it was funny af mexican dude 😎 speaking spanish celebrating his new drone toy
Those Cartels are about to find out exactly why the USA doesn't have universal healthcare.
Add Australian accent: "Drone? That's not a drone -- this is a drone:" Fade to Reaper with 500-lb JDAMS.
Are you telling me that the cartels gave this footage from their own drone strikes to American press? Somebody makes sense of this.
I think it is fake IMHO
Hegseth staged a video the other day where supposedly he was at the border and car tells were warring with each other....
They were not at the border and him and his security detail that looked like they were hired from a staffing agency were falling asleep while supposedly there was like 20 full autos going off simultaneously.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s not how you use a bulletproof vest. Her fear must be on another level. 👀
cartel is like a Chihuahua barking at a pit bull, American soldiers 😂
😂😂😂😂
😂
Yeah only my chihuahua is nutz lol
And the crowd goes mild!…..
The Taliban are still in power tho with way less money than the CJNG & CDS
Holding the vest helps
This gonna be wild lol
According to Sheinbaum they're good boys 😊
Where'd you hear that from Goof?
Well I agree Putin is a clown. But she never said that man. Don’t say flase shit.
Has bulletproof vest cuz it's dangerous, but doesn't wear it. smh
Cartel does know we have missiles right?
Cartels F up. They are about to find out.
Cartels: uses DJI
USA: Global Hawks
Me: keyboard warrior
We are not the same.
Hahahaha
They better pray to whatever wooden carving of a saint they have that they don’t have to fight us.
They pray to Jesus
How did they get the drone video from the Cartels?
Appears Mexico has just declared war
You didn’t actually watch the video or listen to what the lady said, did you?
Its cartel on cartel violence lol. You didn't watch the video at all.
Watch the video 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Are you slow
Those drones, if they get them from China; gonna be bad news.
Bro 😂 Mexico, you guys don't want the heat. F around and find out.
🤦♂️🤦♂️
what it have to do with Mexico ? Its cartels not gov.
@@CY3ER
Did you even watch the video? They're fighting another Mexican cartel not the US. So Mexico don't want the heat with Mexico? 🤦🏽♂️

What? It's cartel vs cartel...not your mom vs cartel
NewsNation good job with this coverage.
Great reporting. Thank you for getting this story in such a dangerous zone. be safe.
She was in Zero danger....OMG!
She was a coward running her mouth
Exaggerations. She was the only one with a vest while people walk around as if nothing had happened. 😂
How did the news get this “weponized drone” operator footage?
How did they get the cartel’s drone footage???
Bingo Bango Bongo, Not the cartel
It’s on google
@@jonag420You mean "the internet?"
Cartel uploaded it themselves
its cartel propaganda
The safest person the reporter that is at the border frfr
Ridiculous. Cartel gave you this fake footage? Why?
Well, it is pretty sus, but cartels upload videos themselves most times. It is to show that they are dangerous. But this is still looking suspicious
How did you get the footage from the drone so fast to the press? When did this happen?
It happened 5 days ago
Waiting on Mexico to bring up 10000 troops
How,come Trump and the president of Mexico say when they're putting the military on the border including Canada
You mean, 2000 troops and 8000 who're loyal to the Cartels due to being a part of one of the most corrupt Governments in the western world?
@@DeniseLopez-gt9wg
The US has two borders to control. The Canadian border and the Mexican border. Both Canada and Mexico agreed to send their military to their side of the border while the US is putting our military on our side of the two borders. It slowed down the tariffs Trump was placing on those countries.
They are cartel members 😂
@@RhinoBane
Waiting on food prices to drop...
Cartel vs cartel drone warfare is wild.
Some of them have mini guns, on their rigs, and those high tech launchers,anti Aircraft weapons. They've blown airplanes and military choppers out of the air, that's wild.
excuse if me if i sound stupid, but how tf did they get footage from that drone?
I live in eagle pass this footage isn't even from acuña 😂 the amount of stupid people who believe the internet to me is outstanding
@@JohnGalindo-u4bits not Acuña, its El Porvenir in Tamaulipas. The whole video is on the X app
Bulletproof vest only works when ya wear it, not when ya use it as a prop.
Funny she says she's worried about safety, but isn't wearing the vest. Just holds it up to show it 😐
😂 she's not doing it right
They are going to take her out 😂
He wears a vest while the people around him walk as if nothing happened. These newscasts don't know how to exaggerate anymore😂
She only wears it when she's on all 4
umm how did they get the camera shot from the drone??
Nice footage. How did you get it ?
How did we gain access to this footage?
Why does it look fake?
Are we sure the context is accurate?
How did we gain access to this footage?
Exactly my thoughts, how did they get the footage? Cartels just sending it to the news like hey check us out! LOL this looks like they are trying to provoke them with operatives located in Mexico
Smells like CIA
Because it is 😂
There’s literally websites you can search on google where you can find all the videos the different cartels upload themselves 🤦♂️ this isn’t nothing new
yall forget they just upload killings on liveleak back in the day or?
People say Mexico is a friend but this is not friendly behavior.
To all the slow ones... Mexico is bombing Mexico. It's cartel vs cartel. They are NOT bombing the US good lord y'all are pathetic 😂
Nobody said that. Relax.
@
Look at the comments 🤣
At this point, ALL drones other than military operated should be grounded in the US.
How do you have have the FPV video from the cartel drone?
They don't want to poke the bear.😎
Yeah Putin is not to be messed with, he's an ally of Mexico as well.
How did we obtain the footage of the drone dropping the bomb?
Where did the footage come from.
the cartel always upload videos on the X app and they go viral
Fake news
Man you're lucky. I can't even get close to posting those two words together, much less the first word. YT seriously h8 me.
She holds up her bullet proof vest instead of wearing it 😂 I’m not sure she understands the concept
Legacy Cartels. Trump will distinct them like big and beautiful dinosaurs.
🤣 The word is "extinct", but I'm right there with ya. FAFO.
😂😂😂😂@@zues287
The irony of the 2 largest terrorist nations in the world with gps guided wmd munitions over civilians complaining about cartel drones
So why u delete comments who say it's a made up to push drone laws like the New Jersey drones
Somehow your comment made it thru? Go out and touch grass.
@TheWildcard4542000 y u mad bro?
@LeonardbroNoCaprio dude I'm in the same boat, I can't even post anything contrary to the YT narrative without getting psyop'd by those bozos. I have to go through several back doors just to see my comment history now.
how did they get this footage?
#fakenews
Nice 😂😂😂😂 a new movie to look up to 😂😂😂😂😂
Uhmmm sooooo.....
no one is going to ask the question about how a bulletproof vest can actually protect you from an incoming bomb? 😂
Why is she saying she's concerned for her safety but is holding a bullet resistant vest and not wearing it? That's just terrible journalism
No it's fake journalism. Wake up from the propaganda people.
And where did the Cartels get the Drones?
$20 says they came straight from China along with the chemicals to manufacture Fentanyl
And the high-powered weapons Made in the USA, especially the Barret rifles😂
who released the video ?
The cartel
How did they get the footage???
With these Bomb Drones and Planes falling from the sky Im just gonna wear a kevlar hoodie every time I leave my house at this point.
I told you..lives will be lost, dont underestimate the Mex's
That was the worst drone bomb I’ve ever seen
Fake news
I hate to be the one to tell her, but that vest effectiveness drastically decreases when not properly utilized.
I don’t think the cartels are dumb enough to do this to the US people
How did you get that footage? Come on .
The cartels are about to find out what thermobaric explosion means. And to the clueless people who mention taliban: the cartels ain't got no suicide bombers...
This can go sideways so quickly.
Why do we have other nations flags in our whitehouse? Cmon Trunk.
You usually have to wear body armor for it to work I believe.
Hahahaha. She has no idea where that video was from
Wtf so the drone sightings r just drug cartels not aliens 😂 😭
Can u believe we are not doing anything about them.
Drone and trench warfare have been the reality of daily life in Michoacán way before Ukraine.
She feels so unsafe that she is holding her bulletproof vest not on her 🤔
Do they not realize that drones can fly both ways?
This is crazy😮
