i thought the subs were a real smart idea/until i saw the submersable torpedo,with a quick release and homing beacon disguised as a log,that was a whole new level genius.
RedRider1600 Yeah, because people who make $100m per trip are going to give up after the first torpedo they ever built got captured. With the number of subs they show in the video you really think they only have the one torpedo? I'm embarrassed for you.
***** They give up cause they end up in prison or dead. Most of them get caught eventually. Prisons are filled with mostly drug dealers and drug traffickers.
3rk4u yeah lol just spot it with radar, drive up to them, then they basically release it in the water for your taking. after they release it scan the water with radar and sonar and you'll find it.
3rk4u If there were people lived on the moon or mars. the cartels would find a way to get them huge amounts of cocaine and heroin. Maybe some space weed.
Why semi-submersibles and not real submarines? Here are the reasons why: Real submarines are a lot more expensive and difficult to build. The pressure under the sea level increases with the depth, which means that you need a stronger hull. Stronger hull means steal and that must be thick enough to reach the desired depth. The best depth is deep enough under a thermal layer, so that surface ships can't detect it with active sonar. The depth of the thermal layer depends on the region too, it's not always the same. But having a submarine that can dive 300 m deep might be a good shot. The problem is, a submarine that can reach that depth requires very good steel, a high construction quality and a thick hull wall. Approximately 3-4 cm. A hull wall thickness with 3-4 cm thick steel walls is very expensive. And it is not easy to weld it together. The welded joints must be of high quality, so that it can withstand the high pressure at that depth. Than you need a pressure system that is able to push the water out of the ballast tanks at such a depth and sea pressure. That's complex and expensive too. Under water you need an electric drive and a lot of batteries, this isn't cheap either. The longer you must travel under sea, the more battery capacity you'll need and the more expensive and large your submarine gets. To safe costs you'll want to drive with diesel engines at low depth with a snorkel. Designing a snorkel isn't easy either. And because of the diesel engine, you have to defeat noise, diesel engines generate,. Because US submarines patrol their borders and can hear you easily if your submarine is not quiet.Making a sub quiet is expensive too. Also you will need to dive very slowly at less than 5 knots to keep quiet, thus the battery capacity requirements will be big. Then you'll need to know your enemy in the area you're diving in, especially when you want to go on surface. Which means you'll need passive sonar with a low band waterfall display system to detect and identify potential enemy ships near you, including other submarines. Detecting modern military submarines is very difficult, because they are very quiet, it is much more likely, that they will detect you. Also you need to have an air cleaning system to remove the carbon dioxide out of the air, when submerged. This is complex and expensive too. Having toilets makes sense too, to be able to stay a long time under water. But the biggest problem is the following, such a submarine will get big. You can't built it within the jungle where a river isn't deep enough. Also the required quality of submarine parts is high enough that you won't be able to create them in the jungle. So you will need to built them in segments and built them in urban areas. The required logistic to move these segments from an urban area into the jungle without being seen will be a nightmare. The best place to construct such a submarine is probably outside of the country in another country where no one takes care about what you do and what you build. Also keep in mind, US spy satellites are everywhere. They will also see a submarine at the beach of west Africa. If you have constructed such a boat, it is so expensive that you won't want to loose it. So you will need a way to get rid of the drugs without getting on surface near the coast line. Torpedo tubes might be ideal for such a task. But Torpedo tubes are very difficult to construct and design too. If you flood them, this must be very quiet, so you must take care for that at construction phase too, this isn't easy either. All in all, this is so difficult and expensive and a logistical nightmare that you will have to use the boat for many trips of drug delivery so that it makes sense economically. I wouldn't think about such a submarine under a price of 500 Million Dollars, it will cost probably much more. Sorry for my bad English, it's not my native language, i am a German.
Nice man. Automated torpedoes are the future for sure. Those semi-subs are at least 7yrs old. With all the advances in micro controllers and things like that, I'm sure they already use machines that can be controlled without humans in them.
You are from a developed country and your information is theoretically right. But don't write these guys off yet. I know because I myself live in a developing nation. If it needs to be done, it will be done; somehow, somewhere they will find a way. Like they mentioned in the end, they probably already found a way to reach Spain. Maybe not using conventional methods, but its not impossible.
Guess the simple way would be to get the Russian's to sell one of their many old subs & then rent their crews to run it. Oh yes, don't forget the Captain. He is well trained and can handle the sub. Oh, I do believe that is going on right now.
jack omnoms I thought like "they could search for how real subs air the engines and crew putting the sub for real underwater" and then went wtf I shouldn't be trying to improve on the design of criminals stop that!
Between the world wars and when alcohol was illegal in Finland, estonians used to smuggle booze there in a similiar way, towing a floating crate of alcohol. When confronted by authorities, they would sink it with bags of salt tied to it with rope. In a few hours the salt would dissolve and the crate would re-emerge to continue its journey.

Given the number that sunk themselves before they could be caught, there's probably billions of dollars worth of drugs sitting at the bottom of the Pacific.
I think thats only the number for the Colombian Coast Guard. The US Coast Guard has likely intercepted many more than that. Still, most probably go undetected or maybe even sink.
Vasili Panin yes that is the way to loosen the power of the cartel. But when we legalise on drug usage this will lead to other problems like car crash due to the effect of drugs, and the affect on drugs most of it will lead to hallucination and the one who took it for sure will not be able to perform daily jobs lead to inefficiency . With some chemical based drugs will affect on liver and other internal organs. Its better to fight the cartel and put them to bed which is easier and cost less compared to legalize the drug and all the tax payer money will go to healthcare system while at the same time put the country manpower at a low level of comeptency.
I'm guessing that you're american, in your country a Toyota Corolla is kind of a "cheap" and for the money that you get one here in Colombia you can get a Renault Logan which is an ugly, slow and unreliable car... So, you should take into account that some stuff in other places is not as affordable as it is on rich countries... Besides, you should notice that Toyota's are the only cars that can survive on places with the worst conditions to have a car, if it's not a Toyota it is any other japanese or some korean but not european or American.
Just so we’re clear: this is the best documentary on this subject, flat out. I have a massive subtitle divide connecting to it but this is still the best documentation about this subject. And they CERTAINLY have more advanced craft than these, full-on submarines among them, like Operation Odessa suggests. I would bet my life on it. They have the money and they have the power.
No it's because mafias and other armed groups took power control of territories and use drug to finance themselves. If there was a market for slavery, they would practice it like Algeria practiced it until it got invaded
Well, that and American's want to buy it but their big brother government decided what they can and can not have. Free enterprise always wins out in the end. The US government turned something that should cost no more than coffee into white gold.
the surface running "submarines" are actually called "turtles". Because their back is exposed they look like turtles from a ways away. They can't fully submerge so they aren't submarines. just a thought.
Oops, great idea! Fill giant Galapagos sea turtles with travel bags filled with drugs reading "tourist" and nudge them towards the US as they swim under the radar. Let's sell the plan to Colombia!
+Stu Saville Yeah you may be right about that. By extension, prisoners are pretty damn creative too, especially considering they have to make something in an environment where they're already caught and have to resort to ingenuity to make things. But yeah... these submarines are incredible.
Crack doesn't really have any physical withdrawals...Now a heroin addict trying to go cold turkey with a heavy habit for a 12 day voyage..that would be a doozy.
I was watching a documentary about Romania (where I'm from so obviously I know Romanian) and when they had English subtitles I couldn't stop reading them either, or Romanian subtitles on English films.
If they used outboards and opened the rear where the controls are, they could make some really impressive small cruising yachts. I really like the ingenuity.
As an engineer, in 2018, I can imagine how to make one of these things remote controlled. So I can only imagine that hey have already done it and the only thing to be done is build tech to track them down.
You would think that these cartels with all their money would just hire an engineer and find a way to make a fully submersible vehicle, haha. Maybe they have.....and just haven't gotten caught yet!
The cartels are already known for recruiting or kidnapping engineers, their tech is much more advanced than Columbia or Mexico wants to admit. Mexican cartels have been useing drones for a couple years now and have used cranes and rigging to lift trucks over border fences without damaging them and fast enough to get away. These people aren't your typical idiot gangbangers, these are advanced Paramilitary organizations operating in secret arount the world.
I heard that as soon as they write down and video all their tech, the scientists are then taken out. Those jungles harbor way more than just makeshift sub construction projects, but the bodies of those who have helped them progressup until now. Its from a lack of trust. No one trusts the other in this kind of situation.
Or hook them up without the captain's knowledge, and remote release it once the ship is within territorial fishing waters for a trawler to reattach and deliver.
a long time back I briefly encountered someone related to these somehow, he had pictures, drawings, and video, and was trying to sort out some technical issues. We had a purely technical discussion, with me having nothing to add. The device was similar to the torpedo thing here, but the whole thing went up and down to radio, and the two I saw pictures of were disguised as seaweedy debris. When it was alerted, it sank on it's own some distance, then after a set period (a week IIRC) it would resurface and squawk for a pickup, or move on it's own. It had a single cylinder diesel (perkins or Kermit) and was expected to do the final approach to a coastline under it's own power.
Campers man and the commitment! Imagine sitting or lying in that submersible for 10-14 days and nights straight..no showers, they probably shit in a bucket and toss it out..damn.
Laying* and yeah, imagine if a storm hits and you have to empty out the water that comes in with a bucket, otherwise the drug lords waiting on the other side of the shore will kill you if their product got ruined.
next? they'll build FULLY SUBMERSIBLE subs and then we'll sick our 688s on 'em we'll qualify our submarine officers by using colombian submarines as torpedo targets!lol
Why don't they buy a real submarine? I mean it costs more, but it can go fully underwater and smuggle more weight and can be used more discreetly more than 1 time?
Now, imagine how easy this becomes with self-driving software-driven drone subs, or air drones. They can make them smaller because there's no people just payload. Using small cheap drones, even carrying one or two kilos each with 20 or 50 or even 100 at a time can easily defeat most defense systems the USA currently has, whether airborne or seaborne. Let the software guide it to its destination acrosa the border and the coyotes already here just pick it up and walk it all the rest of the way in - like right up to Interstate 8, I10, or I19. I8 is probably the safest since it's pretty much a straight shot into Pheonix or Tuscon and out from there.
LEGALIZE IT best answer at the end...additionally i would like to say that, cocaine is a joke for people with some speed/meth experience. its like an bud light compared with a czech strong beer
I am glad I watched this video. Miguel said what I was thinking for a while now. Drugs should be legalized. I mean have you learned nothing from Prohibition? Unfortunately that will never happen because first of all, all governments make more money that way and second because there will always be stupid idiotic morons who think that there will be epidemic or something of this sort and therefore be against legalization of drugs. Guess what there is an epidemic right now.
+mrsleep0000 actually the governmentd use war as an excuse to pump money out of the federal reserve (which is btw a company) many people do not know that.
+Hiram I حيرام of Tyre obviously you need to do more research this is not true. The war right now is to get oil and we use tax money to fund wars. Also the federal reserve isn't a company it is a system that makes currency.
+mrsleep0000 Indeed they do, not to mention money stolen from taxpayers generation after generation after generation. Hey, look, the football game's started!!!!
Lots about semi-submersibles, the million dollar price tag got a smile out of me! They didn't even mention actual submarines, but I guess those are hard to catch.
If they made cocaine legally manufactured and supplied by a doctor's prescription, then the society would benefit [1] From the elimination of cartels [2] Civilians would not have to waste huge amounts of money for their drugs [3] Cocaine users would be accounted for and helped better, by hospitals, to rid of their addiction or at least control it. What happens currently, is that the law is the cartels' best friend, keeping them in business and making them rich.
What medicinal benefits does cocaine have bruh? I mean which doctor in their right mind is going to prescribe a line of coke for any reason whatsoever?
atbjunkie1 Thats what hospitals currently do to addicts, to treat them. If drug addiction is treated as an illness, it can be treated legally by doctors using the drug itself or equivalents. Gradually reducing the dose, of course.
norwegiangangsta In many countries in Europe they prescribe heroin to heroin addicts. Its the most efficient way to treat the addiction of recurrent users and also safer for them (e.g. against AIDS needles, bad unpure heroin, etc).
it makes me sad to hear the man refer to the submarine builders as terrorists, just as the other guy refers to them as just very very poor people trying to do anything to get a tiny wage. even then the poor workers have to pay tax to "security" :O :O $US175mil per run, and they pay the engine guy only $US5K. thats appauling, and those people are probably almost innocent people, where the cartels likely have there families hostage :/
You misunderstood I think, the cartel has to pay the guerrilla groups that control that region a tax in exchange for setting up shop in their territory. FARC, who the cartel mentioned paying the tax to, is a huge guerrilla group that operates on the border of Columbia and Venezuela. In super remote territories like that, they have far more power than the government does. Think Taliban in certain areas of Pakistan.
Corey Slade: Well at least now we know, that the war on drugs is a lost one. They don't even need high tech equipment for their operations and I wouldn't be surprised if cartels haven't already started to hire former engineers from the navy to build a real submarine.
At 24:13 he talks about the subs making it to Spain. This was made in 2013 and in 2019 the first Narco sub was captured off the coast of...you guessed it....Spain!!
Here's an idea: separate the spacing between the English subtitles and Japanese subtitles, so that they do not block one another. By doing so, English and Japanese readers can decipher the Spanish audio.
Very clever! A smuggler’s boat,semi submersible,low profile,....how about the radio? Are they single dispatched,or in groups? Make excellent river boats,I’ll bet they camouflage easily....hope they use them for counterintelligence,training,etc. good Video!
And now in 2019 the semi submersible it's not as popular they don't find them as much which probably indicates they're probably indicates they're fully submersible now
"...in a world of lies and deceit"... "The costs represent 2% to 3% of the profits"... "you have to pay a tax to work there..." Tell me how any of this is any different that the "LEGAL" world....?
22:48 That is definitely NOT the same submersible - the collar of the hatch is much lower than the one shown earlier, and the mount for the radio buoy is also smaller.
Notice that this work continues and that fact testify's to the success of the drug smugglers who would not be able to keep supplying the American Drug addicts for great profit, if they were not sustaining easily manageable losses. The crushing poverty of those who they hire for peanuts to do the work, combined with the near limitless demand and massive profits means we will never stop those living safe in great Luxury who fund and devise this wonderful criminal activity.
That torpedo idea is genius. I bet that’s their main way of getting coke into other countries now. Towed behind an innocent fishing boat. Have to admire their ideas
Man I was just thinking, "hmmm, I bet you there's a way they could remotely control these with GPS" ... and then they talk about automating them. All they really need there is a GPS system, and a software developer to come up with an algorithm for error correction, and you are good to know (well and of course an electrical engineer as well, but you have micro-controllers that are now easy to access and use, such as the Arduino and Raspberry Pi, with open source designs)
26:23 amen to that. Stop the war, decriminalize drugs, and the world will suddenly become a better place. Those who want to dose, will always get their fix no matter what. Drug war money would better be spent on education, prevention, and rehab.
Wtf dude, really? I pay allready 500$ monthly for health insurance, and that covers obviously other peoples too. And I don't wanna fucking pay for fucking cocaine/heroine/crack addicts. No thanks, just because some leftist wanna legalize all the drugs and that bullshit. The junkies allready get their "light" heroin, or methadone or how it's called allready for free.
norwegiangangsta you might want to think this through. You won't have to pay for anything because the immense tax revenue from legal drugs will pay for it. Everyone will actually save money and lives as well with legal drugs. No more wasteful prison complex or murderous drug cartels. This is a no-brainer for everyone regardless of political party affiliation.
clipsburg412 it's a catch 22. . . the more illegal it gets the more money it makes and the more ruthless the criminals get. Also I don't think meth should be legal. Lets start with the first ethical legalization of a drug starting with marijuana. For too long the governments of the world have been using illegalization to make money hand and fist.

But when we legalise on drug usage this will lead to other problems like car crash due to the effect of drugs, and the affect on drugs most of it will lead to hallucination and the one who took it for sure will not be able to perform daily jobs lead to inefficiency . With some chemical based drugs will affect on liver and other internal organs.
Its better to fight the cartel and put them to bed which is easier and cost less compared to legalize the drug and all the tax payer money will go to healthcare system while at the same time put the country manpower at a low level of comeptency.
@Vasili Panin air is a mixture of gases so its a gaseous mix
Actually, the Spanish original is correct. It is the subtitles that screw up.
Very well made documentary. Kudos.
Lol. "The Toyota" "Names of big and lavish cars" hahahaha, somehow those two don't really fit in the same sentence
Hahaha, i like your message, but in the jungle there's no Ferrari's!!!
Should have called it the "Geo" haha
They were talking more like what in US is distributed as Toyota Lexus GX. In Colombia Toyota Prado is strongly associated to drug related people.
I'm guessing that you're american, in your country a Toyota Corolla is kind of a "cheap" and for the money that you get one here in Colombia you can get a Renault Logan which is an ugly, slow and unreliable car... So, you should take into account that some stuff in other places is not as affordable as it is on rich countries... Besides, you should notice that Toyota's are the only cars that can survive on places with the worst conditions to have a car, if it's not a Toyota it is any other japanese or some korean but not european or American.
***** you're absolutely right
Just so we’re clear: this is the best documentary on this subject, flat out. I have a massive subtitle divide connecting to it but this is still the best documentation about this subject. And they CERTAINLY have more advanced craft than these, full-on submarines among them, like Operation Odessa suggests. I would bet my life on it. They have the money and they have the power.
That torpedo idea is really good.
Drone boooooaats

The reason why this is happening is due to poverty.
Those people on subs are desperate for money and would do anything to get it.
+Chuck Norris terrible. Please never comment again
hahaha
wtf haha
No it's because mafias and other armed groups took power control of territories and use drug to finance themselves. If there was a market for slavery, they would practice it like Algeria practiced it until it got invaded
Well, that and American's want to buy it but their big brother government decided what they can and can not have. Free enterprise always wins out in the end. The US government turned something that should cost no more than coffee into white gold.
the surface running "submarines" are actually called "turtles". Because their back is exposed they look like turtles from a ways away. They can't fully submerge so they aren't submarines.
just a thought.
Oops, great idea! Fill giant Galapagos sea turtles with travel bags filled with drugs reading "tourist" and nudge them towards the US as they swim under the radar. Let's sell the plan to Colombia!
What an amazing documentary, holy shit.

There is only one way to fight drug traffickers! - legalize and regulate.

How's that fight drug traffickers? Only thing you're doing there is changing dealers
Just legalise, it'll regulate it's self.
The basic design has been around since.. forever.. it was built in the early 1860's. It was called an Ironclad boat.

I´m a native spanish speaker and yet a can´t stop reading the subtitles. But then again, i´m high as hell, so, whatever..

If they used outboards and opened the rear where the controls are, they could make some really impressive small cruising yachts. I really like the ingenuity.
As an engineer, in 2018, I can imagine how to make one of these things remote controlled. So I can only imagine that hey have already done it and the only thing to be done is build tech to track them down.
You would think that these cartels with all their money would just hire an engineer and find a way to make a fully submersible vehicle, haha. Maybe they have.....and just haven't gotten caught yet!
StormLaker1975 economies of scale makes it not worth it. Remember these guys want their tugs sunk after 1-2 times of use.
The cartels are already known for recruiting or kidnapping engineers, their tech is much more advanced than Columbia or Mexico wants to admit. Mexican cartels have been useing drones for a couple years now and have used cranes and rigging to lift trucks over border fences without damaging them and fast enough to get away. These people aren't your typical idiot gangbangers, these are advanced Paramilitary organizations operating in secret arount the world.
I heard that as soon as they write down and video all their tech, the scientists are then taken out. Those jungles harbor way more than just makeshift sub construction projects, but the bodies of those who have helped them progressup until now. Its from a lack of trust. No one trusts the other in this kind of situation.
@@davidgreve1081 So the note taking, video taping "doctor" is the exception to the rule?
All things aside, they are pretty smart to use submarines to smuggle drugs tbh.
I'm sure they've already bribed small time freighters to tow several of those torpedo things to Europe. I totally wouldn't doubt it.
Diego Asturias Tought the same. Probably Spain or Greece. Italy could be possible too, but I'm not really sure.
Or hook them up without the captain's knowledge, and remote release it once the ship is within territorial fishing waters for a trawler to reattach and deliver.
Amazing 30 min documentary!
a long time back I briefly encountered someone related to these somehow, he had pictures, drawings, and video, and was trying to sort out some technical issues. We had a purely technical discussion, with me having nothing to add. The device was similar to the torpedo thing here, but the whole thing went up and down to radio, and the two I saw pictures of were disguised as seaweedy debris. When it was alerted, it sank on it's own some distance, then after a set period (a week IIRC) it would resurface and squawk for a pickup, or move on it's own. It had a single cylinder diesel (perkins or Kermit) and was expected to do the final approach to a coastline under it's own power.
give some respect to these drug trafficerks. they to their job pretty damn well.
idiot. Drugs ruin lives.
That's a 4 year old comment, also you gotta give them credit they do come up tons of ways to transport drugs.
Campers man and the commitment! Imagine sitting or lying in that submersible for 10-14 days and nights straight..no showers, they probably shit in a bucket and toss it out..damn.
Laying* and yeah, imagine if a storm hits and you have to empty out the water that comes in with a bucket, otherwise the drug lords waiting on the other side of the shore will kill you if their product got ruined.
Henry its called natural selection
and i see this in 2019! i dont know what are look like those traffickers today.
but don't are not traffickers caught before maybe is the?
next? they'll build FULLY SUBMERSIBLE subs
and then we'll sick our 688s on 'em
we'll qualify our submarine officers by using colombian submarines as torpedo targets!lol
amazon drugs by drone
They will use stealthy aircraft next.
Theres a comment around here that states how expensive and difficult it would be to build basically a U-Boat
@@GameMaker3_5 --- i believe it
Dude what 688's are you talkin about. They're gone!
Why don't they buy a real submarine? I mean it costs more, but it can go fully underwater and smuggle more weight and can be used more discreetly more than 1 time?
Now, imagine how easy this becomes with self-driving software-driven drone subs, or air drones. They can make them smaller because there's no people just payload. Using small cheap drones, even carrying one or two kilos each with 20 or 50 or even 100 at a time can easily defeat most defense systems the USA currently has, whether airborne or seaborne. Let the software guide it to its destination acrosa the border and the coyotes already here just pick it up and walk it all the rest of the way in - like right up to Interstate 8, I10, or I19. I8 is probably the safest since it's pretty much a straight shot into Pheonix or Tuscon and out from there.
Better than most documentaries on the subject of submarines
LEGALIZE IT best answer at the end...additionally i would like to say that, cocaine is a joke for people with some speed/meth experience. its like an bud light compared with a czech strong beer
I am glad I watched this video. Miguel said what I was thinking for a while now. Drugs should be legalized. I mean have you learned nothing from Prohibition? Unfortunately that will never happen because first of all, all governments make more money that way and second because there will always be stupid idiotic morons who think that there will be epidemic or something of this sort and therefore be against legalization of drugs. Guess what there is an epidemic right now.
+Kasa Pa Well, if the 80's taught us anything, it's that governments rely on that drug money to fund their wars.
+mrsleep0000 actually the governmentd use war as an excuse to pump money out of the federal reserve (which is btw a company) many people do not know that.
+Hiram I حيرام of Tyre
obviously you need to do more research this is not true. The war right now is to get oil and we use tax money to fund wars. Also the federal reserve isn't a company it is a system that makes currency.
+mrsleep0000 Indeed they do, not to mention money stolen from taxpayers generation after generation after generation. Hey, look, the football game's started!!!!
Micheal O'neal The Federal Reserve IS infact a company. You do the research you dipshit
Lots about semi-submersibles, the million dollar price tag got a smile out of me! They didn't even mention actual submarines, but I guess those are hard to catch.
i don't know what is more dangerous, drug traffic using homemade submarines, or read the comments in this video
If they made cocaine legally manufactured and supplied by a doctor's prescription, then the society would benefit
[1] From the elimination of cartels
[2] Civilians would not have to waste huge amounts of money for their drugs
[3] Cocaine users would be accounted for and helped better, by hospitals, to rid of their addiction or at least control it.
What happens currently, is that the law is the cartels' best friend, keeping them in business and making them rich.
What medicinal benefits does cocaine have bruh? I mean which doctor in their right mind is going to prescribe a line of coke for any reason whatsoever?
atbjunkie1
Thats what hospitals currently do to addicts, to treat them. If drug addiction is treated as an illness, it can be treated legally by doctors using the drug itself or equivalents. Gradually reducing the dose, of course.
*****
They don't give Heroin junkies Heroin. They give Methadon. Wich is fucking redicilous.
norwegiangangsta
In many countries in Europe they prescribe heroin to heroin addicts. Its the most efficient way to treat the addiction of recurrent users and also safer for them (e.g. against AIDS needles, bad unpure heroin, etc).
***** Partially. But not here.
Isn't that a joke, we pay insurance, so the money for the heroin/methadon goes out to "help" out addicts?

I’ve been hearing about these drug problems for 40 years now but have never in my life have ever seen them.
it makes me sad to hear the man refer to the submarine builders as terrorists, just as the other guy refers to them as just very very poor people trying to do anything to get a tiny wage. even then the poor workers have to pay tax to "security"
:O :O $US175mil per run, and they pay the engine guy only $US5K. thats appauling, and those people are probably almost innocent people, where the cartels likely have there families hostage :/
Well he could easily be replaced and i imagine $5,000 is a lot of money in Colombia.
You misunderstood I think, the cartel has to pay the guerrilla groups that control that region a tax in exchange for setting up shop in their territory. FARC, who the cartel mentioned paying the tax to, is a huge guerrilla group that operates on the border of Columbia and Venezuela. In super remote territories like that, they have far more power than the government does. Think Taliban in certain areas of Pakistan.
Corey Slade: Well at least now we know, that the war on drugs is a lost one. They don't even need high tech equipment for their operations and I wouldn't be surprised if cartels haven't already started to hire former engineers from the navy to build a real submarine.

"They are SUB-standard"
Nice.
At 24:13 he talks about the subs making it to Spain. This was made in 2013 and in 2019 the first Narco sub was captured off the coast of...you guessed it....Spain!!
Here's an idea: separate the spacing between the English subtitles and Japanese subtitles, so that they do not block one another. By doing so, English and Japanese readers can decipher the Spanish audio.

And now in 2019 the semi submersible it's not as popular they don't find them as much which probably indicates they're probably indicates they're fully submersible now

22:48 That is definitely NOT the same submersible - the collar of the hatch is much lower than the one shown earlier, and the mount for the radio buoy is also smaller.
Notice that this work continues and that fact testify's to the success of the drug smugglers who would not be able to keep supplying the American Drug addicts for great profit, if they were not sustaining easily manageable losses. The crushing poverty of those who they hire for peanuts to do the work, combined with the near limitless demand and massive profits means we will never stop those living safe in great Luxury who fund and devise this wonderful criminal activity.

Man I was just thinking, "hmmm, I bet you there's a way they could remotely control these with GPS" ... and then they talk about automating them. All they really need there is a GPS system, and a software developer to come up with an algorithm for error correction, and you are good to know (well and of course an electrical engineer as well, but you have micro-controllers that are now easy to access and use, such as the Arduino and Raspberry Pi, with open source designs)

norwegiangangsta you might want to think this through. You won't have to pay for anything because the immense tax revenue from legal drugs will pay for it. Everyone will actually save money and lives as well with legal drugs. No more wasteful prison complex or murderous drug cartels. This is a no-brainer for everyone regardless of political party affiliation.
clipsburg412 it's a catch 22. . . the more illegal it gets the more money it makes and the more ruthless the criminals get. Also I don't think meth should be legal. Lets start with the first ethical legalization of a drug starting with marijuana. For too long the governments of the world have been using illegalization to make money hand and fist. I'm tea party and im sick of every yuppie christains stupidity in fighting a god given plant and drug that is safer than alcohol. hypocritical morons, bet they suck that booze down too.
at 2:15 his gun isn't loaded, or even have a magazine in it, I find it hard to believe anything he says from this point forward, the coast guard has a gun strapped to him and its unloaded, clearly an actor
