Smuggling vast quantities of cocaine into foreign territory is no cheap trick. Today, South American drug cartels spend millions developing semi-submersible vessels (aka narco-subs) capable of transporting a small crew and a hefty cargo to their destinations. But these overlords didnt start underwater.

  • why would a columbian navy officer need to speak english in a spanish language TV channel? Why don't you try to learn spanish?

  • Two words come to mind when I see this video: Nuclear warhead. I´m amazed how ppl are concerned about cocaine so much they ignore the other threats that could come inside those vessels.

  • I've seen all 5 parts of this and it is very interesting. Thank you for posting.

  • vice broke this story in america before anybody... love this shit

  • @idioidio1 Probably is a military sub, afterall when Russia went bankrupt alot of miltary ppl started selling off military assetts because they weren't being paid. This is where the possibility of enriched uranium was being sold to possible terrorists to use as a dirty bomb

  • Today I did research and there seems to be a new generation of Narco Subs. The one they found is called the "Super Sub" and it is more like a real military submarine. It can dive under the sea's surface and operate there for a little amount of time. It uses a twin Diesel Engine, got two propellers, and can carry up to 9 tons of cocain with a street-price of about 250.000.000 US $. Needless to say, that the design was also improved , the super sub even looks like a military vessel!

  • @kangadf Black market is a 7-11 that sells drugs and small pistols. It's overblown with exaggeration and fear. A company that big would be easily spotted, from economical and physical properties.

  • @benonish

    What makes u so sure? Do you really think that the black market doesnt have a SINGLE warhead that they would sell to the highest bidder?

  • @kangadf because getting a nuke in your hands is like winning the lottery everyday for a month. And making one would be next to impossible need a crew, money, and radioactive materials. and chuck norris.

  • @kangadf

    You're an idiot.

  • So what next ? Old Russian Bombers flown with Mig 21 escorts in Mexico or US? Got the money anything is possible.

  • could you imagine if these guys applied that ingenuity to more positive needs, I mean damn they build them from scratch !?
