The Mexican official did not know the nature of the surveillance but said "we know they were following a target." He did not know how the malfunction affected that operation, if at all." |

Quoting: seeker12Washington does not realize we have a war on our own border. If it were our equipment in another country, they would have a parade with the equipment. I just posted that same question, why did the US hand it back? They're acting quite nonchalant about this whole thing. It is the first drone that crashed on US territory and they give it back just like this? |
