Published 3 years ago
Footage from a 2017 incident, shows the Mexican Armed Forces delivering some heat against one of the country's leading drug cartel, Juan Francisco Patrón. On February 9, 2017, Patrón and seven members also part of the Beltrán Leyva organization were holed up in the Pacific resort of Nayarit.
That February night, soldiers from the Mexican Armed Forces surrounded the resort, trapping Patrón and his accomplices within its walls. During the encounter, eye witnesses and media stated Patrón and the men showed resistance against the ground troops, eventually forcing the soldiers to call for air support. As air support arrived, the apache began raining down shots onto the Beltrán Leyva leader and his men. Reports later stated, Juan Francisco Patrón was neutralized during the fight.
Edit: As pointed out by Judge-Lazar in the comments, the footage from 1:10 - 1:27 was taken from Turkey. Despite the incorrect use of the footage in this compilation by "Play Ground", it still demonstrates what it would have looked like on the ground during the attack.
