Mexican CJNG drug cartel using armed drones to attack rivals

Looks like a trade off of payload/altitude for accuracy vs risk of being downed by small arms fire.  And is about 4 grenade size bombs the max payload?

Anyway...glad Mexico has all this under, ahh...umm...

Never mind...

The US loves to arm trouble makers in other countries.
What if Russia/China/Iran starts to send arms to MX drug cartels? Shoulder launched missile for those pesky DEA planes and helicopters?

Here is scary thought.
1. Teach small hobby size drones to ID plane wings  using machine learning. Easy peasy.
2. Put a small payload of explosives/thermite in the drone.
3. Turn them lose near US airport.
4. They land on the wings and detonate.

The Lazy Dog (sometimes called a Red Dot Bomb or Yellow Dog Bomb[1]) was a small, unguided kinetic projectile used by the U.S. Air Force. It measured about 1.75 inches (44 mm) in length, 0.5 inches (13 mm) in diameter, and weighed about 0.7 ounces (20 g).[1]

The weapons were designed to be dropped from an aircraft. They contained no explosive charge but as they fell they would develop significant kinetic energy[2] making them lethal and able to easily penetrate soft cover such as jungle canopy, several inches of sand, or light armor.[3] Lazy Dog munitions were simple and relatively cheap; they could be dropped in huge numbers in a single pass.[3] Though their effects were often no more deadly than other projectiles, they did not leave unexploded ordnance (UXO) that could be active years after a conflict ended.

Lazy Dog projectiles were used primarily during the Korean and the Vietnam Wars.
