That’s not a submarine, it’s a semi submersible. Submarines fully submerge.

1.5 million is about the cost of a tank, surely they could buy a tank, and fill it full of narcos right? Why be subtle when you are driving a tank?

I feel like they should stop trying to catch them so prices go down for consumers 🤣🤣🤣🤣 like we have waaaaaay bigger issues in the US.

All the demand for this product means the war on drugs will never be won. So many junkies and addicts are keeping the cartels very rich.

why not blow these up instead of fishing boats? seems more efficient to stop drug traffickers

The death penalty is the ONLY option for these THUGS. I can't wait until we can kill every thug in these subs with laser cannons and send these thugs right straight to Hell where they belong.

I doubt the diesel is "a low hum." Especially if they were right next to it. Have you ever heard a diesel with "a low hum?" Then 20 seconds later you say the diesel is "a roar." Please give more thought to what you are saying, otherwise you risk your entire narrative being regarded as questionable. All the made-up graphics already put all this in doubt. Then after a few minutes of sketchy material, you want us to view a ad? How about fk you?

Who in Europe and North America is a customer of these drugs!? If Europeans and Americans were smart and thinking straight they wouldn't buy the cartels' garbage. If there is a market for this garbage, Europe and the USA are populated by idiots who don't even have an instinct for self-preservation.

The only feats of building a submarine is to keep it in secrecy and have the money to build it. But Crossing the ocean is fairytales as it would need to be like 50 meters long. Unless someone is filling it in the middle of the ocean.

The narco submarine idea started after the fall of the Soviet Union which in the following years left many naval engineers jobless. The first subs were actually designed by Russians and built under their tutelage. Narcos employ the services of chemists, pilots, engineers, etc, they are the best paying option to many a professional.

Why does the narrator claim to know what they are eating or that they don't talk to each other. It's off-putting and strange.
