The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has released footage from Tuesday showing the interdiction of a cartel narco-trafficking vessel carrying 20,000 pounds of cocaine in the Eastern Pacific. The operation was conducted by an MH-65E Dolphin helicopter from the U.S. Coast Guard’s Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron (HITRON), deployed with the Legend-class cutter USCGC Munro (WMSL-755).

In the video, a sniper aboard the MH-65E uses a Barrett M82 .50 BMG anti-materiel rifle to disable the fast boat’s engine, allowing a Coast Guard Special Purpose Craft launched from the Munro to board and seize the vessel as part of Operation Pacific Viper.

That's not 10 tons of coke. Is that the official number they're publishing?

I wonder why they need to bomb all the others and not this one, or, if they can intercept this one, why not all the others?
