Holy Moly — wow, 16,000 pounds!!!
Using a SEMI-submersible. Best way to have a floating vessel avoid surface search radars. But slow...well this one got caught. It would be interesting to know who built this craft.
Regardless, there are going to be a bunch of decorations hanging from some tall trees over this one!!! Lots of pesos -— bye bye. And someone better hide the key to the “evidence locker” on this stuff. Wow.
The early versions, at least, were designed by Russians and built with local labor.
Past crews have been local fishermen pressed into service. Their families are held hostage against their success. We can probably assume that the families will be killed as a warning to others not to get caught.
