".....when the smugglers start shooting back with shoulder-held anti-aircraft rockets and take out a chopper or two..."

I don't believe that'll happen. 1) The pangas are under continuous surveillance. 2) It's very difficult stand up in a fast moving panga unless one is holding on to part of the boat (the center console or gunnwale). A guy would most likely fall down trying to operate a shoulder launcher. 3) If the panga stops to prep the launcher, the boat is still very rolley (narrow, tender deep v hulls).

It's just not gonna be a fair fight.... which is exactly why Kegsbreath and Hump are doing it.

Our military could disable those boats with the .50 cal sniper rifle as we have been doing for years, and arrest the people, then fire the pangas&cargo. Easy peasy.

We're murdering criminals on the high seas.
