The PNH have also acquired a drone unit in parallel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it seems that they have not yet achieved sufficient precision to hit their target, the gang leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-8-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2117418\" style=\"width:894px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-8-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-8-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-8-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-8-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-8-430x286.webp 430w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-8-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-8.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The results so far do not seem conclusive to us.
