🇲🇽What if? Jet-powered Gerans end up in Mexico The "jet-geran craze" has already swept several regions: rumors about possible Russian Geran-5 drones appearing in the Middle East, in North Korea, and now attention turned to Mexico after they displayed actual copies of Gerans at their parade. And the question arises: what if Mexico gets actual Russian drones instead of pathetic knockoffs? They've already proven themselves in war and demonstrated their effectiveness against Western air defense systems, including American Patriot systems. Mexico and the US have strained relations, but Claudia Sheinbaum's administration is unlikely to go against the White House, as it fears Trump's reaction. And purchasing Russian drones would be an obvious escalation step. But Mexico also has other forces like cartels that desperately want to harm the US, yet lack the means to do so. Frankly, the cardboard junk shown at the parade is poor weaponry without proper testing and real combat experience. And here Russian Geran-5s could become that very weapon in Mexico, considering the US has no countermeasures (don't forget about the global shortage of air defense missiles), and any strategic target within a radius of up to 1000 km could come under fire. Jet-powered Gerans have proven especially effective against oil depots, logistics centers, ports and terminals, as well as data centers, which for the US are in some ways even more important than military bases. ❗️In recent years, Mexican drug cartels have shown remarkable ingenuity and resourcefulness in purchasing various weapons on the black market from the SMO zone. What's stopping them from doing the same with jet-powered Gerans through intermediaries?
