Extreme low pass...
The fight against drug trafficking has taken another quantum leap in Spain with the use of modern Eurofighter to combat drug trafficking networks. In an operation led by the Guardia Civil, which has enjoyed the cooperation of Morocco, these fighters, who have a sophisticated night vision system, have been critical not only to perform tracking planes and helicopters used by criminal networks, but also to detect the points of take off and logistics bases in the North African country.
Besides the concrete results of the investigation, this is one of the most ambitious operations are designed in the fight against trafficking drug, as it has been necessary to have coordination mechanisms between the different forces acting perfectly oiled.
