About this episode

The episode discusses the evolving threat of drone warfare as cartels learn tactics from military conflicts abroad, particularly in Ukraine, and how this impacts U.S. border security.

On today's episode, Vince sits down with “Matchmaker,” a U.S. veteran with the Wolverines, a network of operators training on the frontlines in Ukraine. They break down the evolving world of drone warfare—from cheap, commercially available drones turned into deadly weapons to how cartels and other actors are learning these tactics, creating a growing threat to U.S. border security.
