Colombia deploys drones against drug gangs' aerial attacks | JQJO

Colombia is deploying domestically produced armed drones to combat drug gangs using similar technology for attacks. The gangs' inexpensive, readily available drones have inflicted casualties and damage, prompting the military's response. While the military's anti-drone systems are effective, they are costly and struggle to keep pace with the rapidly evolving technology used by drug cartels. The conflict underscores a technological arms race, with the gangs possessing a strategic advantage due to less bureaucratic procurement processes.
