The turf war between cartels in Mexico has become increasingly violent since September, prompting recently-elected Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to announce the creation of "Fuerza de Tarea," a plan that includes sending additional members to Sinaloa to provide support to local forces.
As the conflict has become deadlier, cartels have also become more technologically savvy, investing in everything from drones and drone jammers to surveillance cameras. Now comes news that high tech has also seemingly made its way into one of the most traditional tools that cartels have used in armed confrontations: narco tanks.
