On 1 January 2023 the Brazilian air force began an operation against illegal mining in the land of the Yanomami indigenous people in Roraima state in the far north of Brazil, with A-29 Tucano aircraft to intercept suspicious air traffic. The FAB photographer kindly informed us where he took the photo - at Surucucu, near the Venezuelan border.
