They hit the port wingtip with the car. You can see the effect on the car from the broken windshield. The car's right front windshied post did the damage to the a/c. It's interesting to note that the torque clearly caused the left main gear to collapse, and you can also see the damage to the trailing edge of the port wing and aileron.

Was it drugs or "illegal guns for drug dealers" interdiction? No, it was just a notebook contraband! Whoever tries to buy a notebook without 100% government taxes (extortion) is sent do jail... Brazilian government is a good friend of drug dealers and criminals of any sort, but not of those who don't cooperate with their organized taxes extortion. I live in this unfortunate land...Teo Halfen

Well that's what this report is saying: it was a contraband of U$ 100.000 in notebooks, surveillance equipments and also 1 bicycle bought in the neighbour country Paraguay, where taxes are lower than in Brazil.

It's not only about taxes. Many electronics that come from Paraguay are result of counterfeiting, which is illegal anywhere in the world, I believe.

Hopefully they mean notebook computers lol. But regardless of the political reason for going after these guys, once that decision is made, this is seriously how you take care of business.
