Could be two topics.

Things appear to be ramping up on both fronts.

First the DOW released video of an engagement that is clearly an AC-130J engaging a Narco Boat. The first round is the 105MM and it functions slightly low and aft. You can see a larger area in the center with most of the frag but it has "tails" off to the side which create the smiley face. You will note the sensor immediately offsets (two-shot) and begins engaging with 30MM from the MK-44 Bushmaster. The first 30MM round appears to hit a gas can or something flammable. Another 105MM prox with offset is a direct towards the end.

Next we have an engagement against what I would call a semi-submersible carrying drugs, my liberal friends would no doubt call it a fishing submarine. Oh no, it was a double tap...

Finally - recent images show what appears to be 5 MC-130Js and 9 CV-22s operating out of Puerto Rico.

Carrying an undocumented immigrant.

It's crazy that we have about 10 billion dollars worth of aircraft sitting stacked together in the open in these areas now days. A couple half brains with 50k worth of drones and equipment could wipe out a squadron of F-35s.

In that first video, the boat was not under way. Was any info given as to why?

Saw another news report that we have planes in El Salvador, wonder if they're flying out of Ilopango. We took an AC-H in there back in the day. Looked like an airplane junkyard where they parked us, tight fit too.
