Overview of the improvised/craft UAV-delivered munitions being used by Mexican drug cartels. These munitions are becoming more common, and in some cases more advanced. There's also been some large seizures by Mexican authorities lately.

"More than 1,000 people, including children, have been killed or injured by land mines and remnants of war since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad in December."
“The problem is monumental. Every day we get calls from people begging us to clear their land." @DSoguel spoke to HALO’s Zakaria el-Othman as 'tens of thousands of displaced families' return home to land littered with explosives in #Syria. 🗞️ @csmonitor csmonitor.com/World/Middle-E…
This isn't indicative of a thermobaric weapon, that is the shockwave from the blast. Detonations are faster than the speed of sound, whether a thermobaric explosive is used or not. This is most likely Tritonal, as that is the most common explosive fill for MK-80 series bombs.
Israel is using thermobaric (vacuum) bombs in Beit Hanoun. These are shock waves that spread in a circular and low pattern near the ground surface, preceding the appearance of the dust cloud by far, indicating a speed faster than the speed of sound. This is genocide.

From @foro_militar we have video confirming OWA FPV drones are now being used by cartels, an unexploded drone was found in Coxquihui, Veracruz. The carbon fiber FPV drone can be seen w/ explosives attached to the bottom rigged to explode on impact, similar to the war in Ukraine.
