Default new measures to counter narcotics

The Dominican Republic has ordered 10 Super Tucanos fighter aircrafts to counter air drops conducted by cartels from South America. The cost of the order is 45 million. do you think this measure would help secure our airspace? in my opinion i would rather have Drones guard our airspace they're smaller,easy to operate and maintain, plus they're cheaper any thoughts?

Functionally, it's a fine tool for the job. The cost and sleazy deals to get them are another story altogether.

There was an extensive thread about this subject earlier.

It will sure help.
Some people's bank account statements that is.

The planes?
Well, they will go all sophisticated equipment's way.
The Caribbean way.
Like the Harley Davidson motorbikes, the electronic school blackboards, etc.

Yes, I have been told so.
I for one as a German would like to add:
.... similar to Porsche (or BMW or Audi) and a Ford...

The Harley Davidson technology certainly accomodates the Dominican technology level...
