He walks through the aircraft, weapons systems, special operations forces, and tactical sequence he believes were involved, explaining how F-35s, electronic warfare aircraft, and helicopter-borne Delta Force operators would coordinate in such a mission. Max frames this as the culmination of months of pressure on what he characterizes as a narco-state regime.
