KEY WEST, U.S.A – Blimps such as the TIF-25K Aerostat could prove useful in supporting the maritime counter-narcotics missions carried out as a part of Operation Martillo, a multinational effort by Western Hemisphere and European countries to disrupt the flow of illicit drugs in waters of the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific. The TIF-25K Aerostat is equipped with radar and a long-range camera. (Sandra Marina/Diálogo)
