Drug traffickers take an important technological leap, they are beginning to use the largest and most powerful drones on the market to transport drugs between Mexico and the United States.

Movies and series tend to be ahead of the times and show us what some things will be like in the future. Drug traffickers always investigate how to transport drugs quickly and efficiently and try not to be detected by the authorities. The United States, on the border with Mexico, have installed cameras and security systems to prevent the drug from passing through, although it is difficult to stop it, because they always find a way. They are normally used by people called mules, who charge for a journey that can lead to death or jail if they are intercepted.

The drug traffickers are making the leap to technology, as confirmed by one of the spokespersons for the border police of the United States and Mexico. Apparently the drug traffickers are using large drones to pass the drug quickly and efficiently without major problems. We must emphasize that the United States is the largest consumer of narcotics on the planet. The example of this trend is Jorge Edwin Rivera, who acquired a DJI Matrice 600, one of the most powerful drone in the world, which is capable of carrying 15Kg and can reach a height of 2500 meters. This professional-type drone is priced at around $ 5000.

By using this drone, Jorge Edwin Rivera had managed to get drugs across the border quickly and easily, without having to pay third parties. This guy was piloting a DJI Matrice 600, between the near the border, specifically almost two kilometers from the border and the drone was loaded with six kilograms of methamphetamine. Drones have taken a technological leap, quite logical and the next step could be to make drones autonomous using GPS routes.
