you thought these mickiefickies were playin games?!?
For the drug cartel boss who has everything, the latest piece of military hardware is the narco tank.
Todays competitive crime mafias in Mexico are no longer satisfied with bazookas or rocket-propelled grenades or land mines. The Mexican military has discovered that gangsters south of the Texas border are building armored assault vehicles, with gun turrets, inch-thick armor plates, firing ports and bullet-proof glass
The monsters look like a cross between a handmade assault vehicle used by a Somali warlord and something out of a Mad Max movie with Mel Gibson in a post-apocalyptic no mans land. Complete with battering rams.
The assault vehicles have appeared in several confrontations with Mexican authorities. In the western state of Jalisco, soldiers confronted one of the beasts in May and managed to disable it by shooting out its tires. So far the trucks have not been seen in the cities and remain for now mostly a chilling curiosity.
