Armored attack on Mexican prison across from El Paso

 Fox News:

Mexican border prison attack leaves 14 people dead, more than a dozen injured

More than a dozen people were wounded and at least 24 inmates escaped the Mexican state prison

Gunmen in armored vehicles attacked a state prison just across the border from El Paso early Sunday, killing 10 guards and four inmates, prosecutors said.

Various armed vehicles arrived at the state prison in Ciudad Juarez at about 7 a.m. and opened fire at guards, the Chihuahua state prosecutor’s office said in a statement.

Amid the chaos, an additional 13 people were wounded and at least 24 inmates escaped.

I suspect the cartels may have been responsible for the attack.  The story does not indicate whether the escape prisoners were tied to the cartels, but the cartels do have the resources to purchase the armored vehicles used in the attack.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
