U.S. Navy Hits Cartel Boat Hard - Then THIS Happened…
At 09:45 local time, a Coast Guard HC-130J Hercules circled at 25,000 feet over the eastern Pacific when its sensors detected a fast, suspicious vessel nearly 190 nautical miles away. The craft slashed through the swells in sharp, erratic zigzags—textbook counter-surveillance maneuvers—but the Hercules never lost contact, holding a continuous track for hours. Via Link-16, live updates fed straight into the Combat Information Center aboard the 418-foot Legend-class cutter USCGC Kimball. The cutter, however, was too far to intercept in time.
Action couldn’t wait. An MH-65E Dolphin helicopter launched and surged toward the target, closing to within 500 meters. Orders to stop blasted over the loudspeaker through the LRAD—ignored. Warning fire followed as M240B tracers streaked across the bow. Still, the boat ran. The gunner then escalated, bringing the Barrett M107 to bear and methodically punching .50-caliber rounds through all four Mercury outboards, knocking them out one by one with precise, deliberate shots.
Dead in the water, the speedboat was quickly overwhelmed. HITRON operators and Tactical Law Enforcement Team South closed in aboard RHIBs, secured the vessel, and took the crew into custody. With the contraband cataloged and the operation concluded, the boat was destroyed—left burning, reduced to smoke and blackened fiberglass. This is what maritime interdiction looks like.
