The world's most dangerous cartel now has a specialised unit of "terrorist" hitmen operating as an Air Force as they take the drug war to the skies with drones.

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) is led by Mexico's most wanted drug lord - Nemesio 'El Mencho' Oseguera Cervantes.

His men have recently peppered towns and villages with drone explosives, and reports in Mexico suggest that the operatives are now using chemical weapons inside the makeshift bombs.

On April 3, the CJNG broke into the municipality of Coahuayana in the state of Michoacán and woth “more than 100 heavily armed gunmen,” took the towns of Zapotán , Palos Marías and El Órgano , where they allegedly threw chemical bombs, according to InfoBae.
