Guatemalan, U.S. military forces detain submarine with 10 tons of cocaine from COLOMBIA

The commercial value of the cocaine was at 1 billion quetzals (some 120 million U.S. dollars). This has been the first detention of a submarine loaded with drugs in Guatemalan territory.

Save the street children of Colombia Now!!

My mind is racing in 100 directions right now. Where does one purchase a submarine with the capacity to carry at least 4 crew and 20,000 lbs of cocaine? How much would it cost? Who else is involved? In what US port would you offload 20,000 lbs of cocaine from a submarine without attracting attention? Long Beach is now owned by the Chi-coms. Do they have a used Submarine lot? Where would they locate it? Possibly the Chi-com/ Panama Canal????
Or could this be part of the new Venezuelan arsenal furnished by Vlady Putin?

jb, Subs are built and launched along uninhabited parts of the South Pacific Colombian coast. The cost averages around US $1M for a basic model - a cheap price in a narco economy. The basic models ride just below the surface. They either unload along uninhabited parts of Guatemala, or offload to a boat mid-sea. Most of the shipments end up crossing the under-staffed, under-armed, US-Mexico border.

Actually, Playboy had a very informative article on cocaine subs a few months--well, perhaps up to a year ago. Apparently, they had to catch one to see what it was all about. They have quick open ports, so if they are caught...they are rescued and have no evidence.

Apparently they are made in a town on the Western coast. They can cost upwards of 1mil $ to make. However, it is a negligible amount when you can get in tons...without detection and quickly.

Hmmmmm!!!! I wonder if they dead-head back? Maybe they offer discount rates on bringing household goods to Colombia on the return voyage?
