Chambers and Baz are right-wing independent journalists who claim to have connections to high-ranking officials within the military, law enforcement and border patrol through their network of whistleblowers and tipsters.
According to these alleged reports, agents working on behalf of Iran arranged for the Sinaloa Cartel to get three shoulder-launched weapons known as MANPADS (man-portable air defense system across the border, where they would then be handed off to three teams of Islamic extremists with connections to Tehran.
It’s expected that the MANPADS would be of Soviet-era Russian manufacturing, as Iran relies heavily on such weapons, often provided through trade agreements by Russian President Vladimir Putin from the nation’s stockpile of USSR armaments.
These man-portable systems aren’t capable of tracking or reaching planes cruising at high altitude, but are particularly effective at destroying aerial targets beneath 4,000 feet, such as during takeoff or landing. Which is of particular concern given the alleged target, none other than Trump Force One, former president Donald Trump’s personal Boeing 757.
