Mexican cartels exploit Ukraine war to acquire military drone technology
July 30, 2025
Ukrainian counterintelligence has discovered that criminal organisations from Mexico and Colombia have been exploiting the country's volunteer recruitment programme to acquire advanced military drone capabilities for use in narcotics trafficking operations.
The scheme, first reported by French publication Intelligence Online, came to light following intelligence sharing between Mexico City and Kyiv, revealing that individuals with suspected cartel connections had deliberately enlisted in Ukraine's International Legion under false pretences to gain access to cutting-edge unmanned aerial vehicle training.
Unlike genuine volunteers motivated by solidarity with Ukraine's defensive struggle, these operatives reportedly sought specific technical instruction in First-Person View drone operations – skills highly valued by criminal networks seeking tactical advantages in territorial disputes and enforcement activities.
The discovery has prompted Ukrainian authorities to reassess screening procedures for foreign recruits, particularly those from regions with significant organised crime presence.
The infiltration effort demonstrates remarkable sophistication, with suspects employing false identities, forged documentation and front companies to facilitate their passage into Ukrainian territory and military structures.
Intelligence analysts have identified a network of private security firms across Latin America that appear to have coordinated these placements.
Companies operating from Mexico, Colombia and other regional centres allegedly provided fraudulent credentials and logistical support to enable suspect individuals to reach Ukrainian training facilities.
One particularly concerning case involved an operative codenamed Aguila-7, who successfully embedded within a specialised Ukrainian unit for several months whilst maintaining a humanitarian cover story.
He joined the International Legion in March 2024 using false Salvadoran documentation and completed comprehensive training at facilities in Lviv.
His exceptional pre-existing technical knowledge, including familiarity with electronic warfare countermeasures and thermal detection avoidance, eventually aroused instructor suspicion.
Background investigations later revealed probable connections to Mexico's elite GAFE special forces, some of whose former personnel have historically transitioned to cartel employment, notably through the ultra-violent Zetas organisation.
Additional cases have emerged involving former FARC guerrillas who infiltrated the system using Panamanian and Venezuelan identity documents, with at least one individual identified through distinctive tattoos and accent patterns captured in internal training videos.
The revelations cement Ukraine’s inadvertent role as a premier training ground for modern asymmetric warfare techniques amid its conflict with Russia.
The country's unique operational environment has fostered rapid innovation in low-cost, high-impact military technologies that could prove highly attractive to non-state actors worldwide.
Ukrainian facilities have developed comprehensive curricula covering drone manufacturing, tactical deployment, electronic warfare resistance and real-time battlefield coordination.
These capabilities represent exactly the type of force multiplication that criminal organisations seek to enhance their operational effectiveness.
Speaking anonymously to Intelligence Online, an SBU official summarised the gravity of the situation: "We welcomed volunteers in good faith.
But we must now recognise that Ukraine has become a platform for the global dissemination of FPV tactics. Some come here to learn how to kill with a $400 drone, then sell this knowledge elsewhere to the highest bidder."
Security experts warn that the knowledge transfer could significantly alter criminal conflict dynamics across Latin America, where cartels already employ increasingly sophisticated military-style tactics and equipment in their operations.
The concerns stretch well past regional boundaries, as similar infiltration attempts could theoretically originate from other areas with substantial organised crime presence or hostile state actors seeking access to battlefield-tested technologies.
Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, Ukrainian security services have implemented enhanced vetting procedures in coordination with international partners, including expanded background checks and closer monitoring of volunteer activities within sensitive training programmes.
The investigation has been elevated to specialised counterintelligence units typically reserved for protecting critical state assets and preventing technology transfer to unauthorised recipients.
Since 2023, these divisions have worked closely with military intelligence structures to filter foreign access to sensitive training modules and prevent doctrine transfer to unauthorised actors.
Spanish-speaking volunteers suspected of ulterior motives have had their data cross-referenced with Interpol and US Drug Enforcement Administration databases, with several individuals flagged for potential criminal backgrounds or connections to narco-paramilitary organisations.
Officials acknowledge the challenge of balancing legitimate international support for Ukraine's defensive efforts against the risk of exploitation by criminal elements.
But the volunteer programme has provided valuable personnel and expertise to Ukrainian forces, making wholesale restrictions problematic.
The broader implications extend to other conflict zones where similar technology transfer risks might emerge, adding pressure to the need for coordinated international approaches to preventing criminal exploitation of military training opportunities.
Jordan army foils drone drug smuggling attempt from Syria
July 30, 2025
The Jordan Armed Forces thwarted an attempt to smuggle narcotics into the kingdom via drone on Tuesday, an official statement said.
The Southern Military Command, in coordination with military security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department, intercepted the drone on its western front within its area of responsibility, the statement added.
Border guards applied rules of engagement after monitoring and tracking the drone. They dealt with and downed the drone inside Jordanian territory. The seized narcotics were transferred to relevant authorities.

UK launches elite police unit to monitor anti-migrant posts
The Online Safety Act doesn’t ban criticism of illegal immigration It reclassifies unlawful immigration as “priority illegal content,” That’s not a label, It’s a trigger
Platforms must assess risk levels for 17 categories of illegal content, Unlawful immigration is one of them, That means anything algorithmically adjacent, protest footage, satire, policy critique, gets flagged, Not because it’s illegal, Because it’s risky
Ofcom’s guidance requires platforms to assign risk levels, Even neutral discussion can be flagged if it’s linked to unlawful immigration, The result, preemptive moderation, Content blocked before it’s even published
A new police unit called National Internet Intelligence Investigations was quietly formed under the Home Office, It operates from the same facility that enforced pandemic lockdowns, Same tactics, New target
British users on X report automated blocks on protest footage, Message says, “Due to local laws, we are temporarily restricting access to this content until X estimates your age,” That’s not age verification, That’s geo-fencing dissent
Civil liberties groups say the Act enables algorithmic censorship, Free Speech Union says platforms are suppressing content before it’s posted, The penalties are steep, Up to £18 million or 10 percent of global revenue
