Sinaloa Cartel: This is how the Army fumigates poppy fields in the Sierra de Durango

Although some consider this a way to survive, the Army is leading the destruction of poppy fields in actions against drug trafficking in the country, as was recorded in the Sierra de Durango, where the Sinaloa Cartel has established its stronghold for decades.

Through videos disseminated on social networks, users expressed their disagreement with the fumigation of crops in areas around Tamazula, while capturing what the operations of the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena) are like when the chemicals are thrown from the air.

One of the recordings shows that, as the helicopters approach sowing, radio frequency reports are heard from below. They allegedly report military interventions to what they consider months of effort.

Another video told how the petals flew, as the air unit approached at low altitude to spray the crops. But in both cases the soldiers' strategy is perceived: before starting the operation one of the helicopters moves forward to clear the area or prevent any risk.

At the time of the fumigation, the vigilante unit remains higher or also pursues its colleagues. From the ground you can see how scattered liquids fall.
