Jalisco: When attacked, Helicopter was in low altitude, allowing paratroopers to rappel

Lucio R. Borderland Beat republished from Reforma

Several of the paratroopers jumped from the aircraft Pilot shot first

Lucio: Could this become any more convoluted and confusing? Yet, this account rings true.

Residents had reported the attacked occurred in the hours of darkness, despite the government saying it was daylight. This would also explain why the government thought there were missing/abducted soldiers. 3 had begun to rappel when attacked; therefore the aircraft was flying low. Low enough for the pilot to be shot and killed straight away. As I reported previously, one of Mencho’s greatest defensive tools is the collusion of government forces on his payroll. Municipal, state and federal forces, funnel intelligence to the capo, assisting in his evading capture.

This is a prime example, he was tipped off, and was waiting and prepared. The element of surprise planned by the government, was flung in their face by C.J.N.G.

From Reforma:

The operation took place in the wee hours of May 1, not daylight, as was officially stated. The aim was to catch Nemesio Oseguera, "El Mencho",

Reforma is reporting that its sources close to the failed operation that the plan was a familiar one, one used to catch capos in the past.   Federal Forces moved guided by intelligence information to the area where the leader of the Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) was located.

The operating tried for a repeat of success, by implementing a surprise deployment I the hour between 3 and 4 AM.  Ideally when El Mencho would least suspect an attack and is most vulnerable.
Helicopter aerial surveillance was the key to the arrest. This happened, for example, with the arrest of Miguel Trevino, alias "Z40", arrested in July 2013 on a road south of Nuevo Laredo.

But this time the plan failed.

The Helicopter  was carrying paratroopers

The Mexican Air Force heliopter was gunned down at Casimiro Castillo-Villa Purificación Highway.

The helicopter was carrying parachutists that would rappel down to support an operation on the ground, which was deployed to intercept a convoy protecting the CJNG capo. [Who was supposed to  in the municipality of Tonaya]

The first three riflemen descended down, while the aircraft held position to accommodate their decline.  The three touched ground when they were met with gunfire.

This is a photo of the truck illustrated in the Reforma chart #3 at top.
The steel shield mount was for what authorities called "machine gun".
From the mounted weapon 3 shots were fired one killing the pilot, Shooter
of RPGis standing behind the truck and shot one projectile to the tail section.

The low position of the helicopter was perfect for El Mencho’s loyalists to initiate their assault. 

Their first target was the pilot, who was killed by shooting.  Then came the first RPG impact and it was that impact that brought down the helicopter. 

Some soldiers jumped. Several were caught in trees. Others were burned.

Refoma sources said that El Mencho was aware of the pending operation by the feds and  had convoys out searching for them. 

And in the mayhem, “El Mencho” premier leader of Cartel Jalisco New Generation, escaped.

It was, the fifth time that the head of CNJG eluded security forces.

 Previous failed capture attempts

The Army, Navy and Federal Police operations have been implemented since 2010 to capture Mencho, but without success.

CJNG Mencho loyalists disrupt capture operations by  narcobloqueos, fires or direct confrontations with the police, to distract and allow their leader to flee.

  • In November 2010, authorities placed him near the Ángel Leaño Hospital, north of Guadalajara. but when reaching the location, no one was found, just 40 kilos of the drug known as "crystal" and two AR-15’s.
  • On August 25, 2012, another capture operation was mounted at the municipality of Tonaya sparking violence in dozens of blocks in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara, but the capo once again escaped.
  • A month later, the feds conducted another operation, in the division Terranova in Guadalajara. They stopped 4 of his henchmen, but not the boss.
  • In July 2013, he was located in the municipality of El Grullo, and he managed to escape again.

  1. This does compute! Excellent post kudos to Reforma and BB's Lucio (always at the breaking news gate)

    And big props to BB for taking the mencho speaks post down. I thought I was at BDN and I stopped going there after Lucy.

    1. Hey brother, we already have missiles on helicopters, as we have heavy armored vehicles, and vehicles with missiles. Unfortunately, we are living during a time when everyone has cameras and no one understands the job we do. People will cry out if we unleash weapons of war against these "civilians" scum. Thank you for your support.

  8. This makes sense. I posted a comment on the recent post about everyone wanting answers immediately which is next to impossible. Especially at a war zone. One question was. "Why were they flying so low?", by many assuming they were flying low to engage in fighting from the helicopter. Well a sensible answer has surfaced. I understand many people concern about corruption and and transparency, but if I had a loved one involved I would want facts not fiction. Answering questions within an hour of an incident is just plain nonsense. It takes time to gather info. If BB printed stories without researching facts, we would all be mislead. So if patience is allowed in on scenario, why not the other?

    1. 1.5 hr drive not hat far. they always zero in on tonaya or autlan where he is said to be mostly.

      it was the other way around, you do speak English? intelligence told mencho where they were staging. deployment , dropping of additional riflemen that is why the convoys (yes they were all over the area going to different points of Jalisco.)

      you do know what staging means? if not look it up. never mind here , now find someone to read this for you and explain what it means

      staging point
      a stopping place or assembly point en route to a destination.
      "a vast staging area for guerrilla attacks"

      if there is to be a hope of surprise would you expect to gather at the target area?

  21. Maybe like %60 of this story is true.
    If im manning a machine gun in direction of a helicopter . I am not going to randomly shoot at the rear boom and rotor then at the cargo area then at the pilot.

    Thats stupid. If you are behind the shield you cant take precision in your aim.

    Likely 4 guys sniped at the marines and pilots. While the machine gunner laid into the cargo area while 3 more fired rpgs. From different points essentially laying cross and cover fire for each other.

    At least if i have a machine gunner in the bed of the truck and a few rpgs thats how Id attack.

  27. Low or High altitude it doesnt matter the fact that they had the nuts to shoot it down says plenty. Mexico better not wait n shoot 1st next time forget the stragedy n operations go balls out.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Balls out is not the best way to deploy in to a firefight. There are a number of techniques that can mitigate counter measures. Infrared serveilance by manned or unmanned aircraft prior to deployment would spot enemy ambush or sentries. Pathfinder trained combat controllers inserted at the drop zone could verify a secure dropzone. False insertions before and after the actual offloading of troops keeps the enemy unsure of which spot the troops were actually dropped. Multiple helocopters flying in a high/low flying overwatch pattern and armed with 50 cal and stingers is hard to defeat. Air deployed troops should be reenforced by ground troops when possible, as in government controlled territory. Gob. should assume planned resistance in the future. No more flying unarmed or single aircraft! Paratroopers are helacious combatants but need competent planners.
