Možda posebnu temu da otvorimo ratovi za avokado
Ali to ima i svoju cenu: u Meksiku su se u biznis uključili i narko-karteli. Preuzeli su posao i šire strah u čitavom jednom regionu.
Uruapan del Progreso, "Glavni grad avokada", smešten je među blagim brežuljcima koje, sve do horizonta, prekrivaju plantaže avokada. Stabla se zelene na podnevnom suncu, čak i ovih zimskih dana. U centru tog grada u centralnom Meksiku, u kojem živi 300.000 stanovnika, sve deluje veoma mirno. Stariji ljudi razgovaraju na klupi pored crkve, žene indogenog porekla prodaju male drvene igračke. Ali taj mir je samo prividan.

Citat:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/hisutton/2019/11/27/n.....a044232453 https://www.mycity-military.com/Aktuelna-vojna-des.....l#p2213206
 Citat:The Galicia narco-submarine recovered at the end of November 2019, is significant in several ways. It finally proved that so-called narco-submarines cross the Atlantic to Europe as well as heading north to Mexico. But more than that the capture of the 3 person crew gives us further insights into the modus operandi of these vessels.
Although larger than most, the craft itself is typical of many narco-subs. This is significant because they did not feel the need for dedicated new types to cross the unforgiving Atlantic. The vessel, nicknamed 'Che' by the crew, used a layout which would have been familiar to Law Enforcement 10 years ago. It had fuel and payload in the bow, a small cockpit amidships and the engine aft. There was only one engine driving a single screw.
Police believe that the vessel started its journey near Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. This is on the Amazon River, about 1,380 km (745 nm) from the sea.
The vessel was carrying 3 tonnes of cocaine which is around twice the current median average. This would have had a an approximate street value (ref US) of approximately 100 million USD. The vessel probably cost between 2-3 million to build, and the crew of two Ecuadorians and a Spaniard would have received ~500k between them. The Cartel behind the narcosub would not receive the full street value and there are many costs to be deducted, but the scale of the profit is clear.
It may be related to one captured by Colombian Forces over 5,000 miles away in the Eastern Pacific in January 2019. That design was slightly smaller and used a Very Slender Vessel (VSV) hull. But many of the details are recognizable between the two. Both have V-shaped hulls with similar stern arrangements. In front of the windshields, which are arranged in a wedge shape with vertical sides, is a dividing plate. This is very distinctive. And the shape of the hatch, which folds forward, is another tell. Then on December 25 2019 another was interdicted in the pacific by Costa Rican forces. This was similar to the earlier January 2019 example. All three are likely designed by the same master boat builder... http://www.hisutton.com/Transatlantic-Narco-submarine-Galicia.html
