On August 31, SEDENA soldiers seized a Cessna airplane, 652 kilograms of cocaine, and destroyed a clandestine landing strip in El Castaño, municipality of Mapastepec, in the southern state of Chiapas. There were no captures; the traffickers fled before the army arrived.
According to a SEDENA press release, the Cessna was noticed by Mexican air force when it entered Mexican air space coming from South America on August 31. The air force deployed several planes and helicopters to intercept the narco plane, locating it on a clandestine runway 20 kilometers south of the municipality of Mapastepec. Upon seeing the approaching government forces, the traffickers abandoned the drug load and plane, fleeing in several different directions.
Milenio reported that officials said that this landing strip was used to refuel planes transporting narcotics as they headed further into the country.

The cocaine was divided in 20 different bales. On some of the bales the word 'Chipias' is written in black marker. This may have been a way for the traffickers to ensure that the packages arrived at the correct destination.
6 soldiers were injured in the operation, 2 of them seriously, when they vehicle overturned while towing a boat. After receiving medical attention at the scene, they were flown to a hospital in Tapachula by helicopter.

ReplyDeleteI wonder where the second stop in Mexico was supposed to be if this was just a refueling spot.
ReplyDeleteJuarez Tijuana or Nvo Laredo … that’s where it goes
Delete4:33 after safely delivering the load to the mexican melitary, it will go to the US, prolly via Canada
Delete1:11 Was talking about the plane. This was only the first stop in Mexico for that Cessna
DeleteI would like to know from a reliable source, how much coke actually makes the U.S. streets, and how much stays in the original "coke" formula without being turned into crack.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that's a question that you can get an answer to. Meaning a precise answer will be difficult. You can only get some sort of estimate.
Delete4:56 You just have to add up the total amount that is seized annually in America and multiply it by between 10- 15 and that should roughly give you the number for how much coke makes it through without interception because the DEA constantly talks about how they’re “getting less than 10% of the drugs that come through”. Coca production and trafficking has also been rising steadily since the mid-2010s so numbers will vary even from last year.
DeleteMost doesn’t get turned into crack but even the stuff that does; it’s fairly common these days for crack users to just buy powder and turn it into crack themselves since straight up crack dealers are more scarce these days. A surprising amount of crack users also have a concurrent/additional habit with powder, not just rock because the rushes are that different. Many people assume that once you pick up the pipe then you’ll no longer be satisfied with sniffing lines but that’s simply not true. I even knew some crackheads that said certain batches of coke were better for snorting and others were better for smoking.
You dont Really think anyone who writes it to BB actually knows the answer to those questions do you?. What person can tell you how much gets in without knowing how much was sent and how much got past the border and how would anyone know how much is cooked into crack unless they know all the buyers
DeleteAsk the Diablo he knows
Delete4:56
Delete70 percent makes it in.
30 percent does not
I sell .1 for 10 grams for 100 pure coke ounce 1200 q.p 4400 keys 32-35 k
Delete9:14 that 30 per cent makes it in too, it is usually the tax paid in species to LEO associates with business acumen, narco middlemen and zetas discovered they are better off cutting and selling their own pay in species and forcing their sicarios to do the same, sell it or eat it, that is why sicarios have to kill for invented debts and extort tortilla makers per kilo de tortillas, unless they are females in prison, then the tortillas are free.
DeleteAwesome airplane, I wonder if they get to keep it too.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the quantity of crack that actually gets smoked, it is precisely 5142 kilos by Americans. Canadians smoke another 2167 kilos of crack cocaine but prefer raninbow fentanyl with meth.
Powdered cocaine is precisely 32,877 kilos snorted and 437 kilos injected IV in the USA. In Canada nobody likes to snort coca powder they want meth.
9:37 fun fact most of the Fent in Canada is produced locally.
Delete937 got a link to explain that. Thanks
Delete11:15 why,
Deletedo you mean Facts Matter?
1:19 it's Mr.. Facts he likes to pick on people that still present facts. They also call himr. When is the last time you been to Mexico
DeleteFacts do matter,.
Deletemr facts not so much
20,000 kilos a year are converted from pure cocaine salts and turned into dope aka fentanyl laced horse tranquilizer with a pinch of powder coca
ReplyDeleteIsn’t this zapatista turf ?
ReplyDeleteNice plane
