FOX is told that each takedown was precoordinated with Mexican military and border authorities, and that the strategy reflects a wider US effort to have a layered, rapidly-fielded counter UAS defense that combines technology, trained personnel, and updated authorities instead of a single "silver bullet" system.
PENTAGON STATEMENT TO FOX:
"The United States is employing defensive counter-drone technology to protect our personnel and border security operations from cartel-linked drone threats. These actions are closely coordinated with Mexican military and border authorities to ensure safety and deconfliction on both sides of the border." - Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson
