The drug cartels in Colombia are willing to pay anything to develop new ways of technology to smuggle drugs in the United States. The Clinton administration passed the legislation “Plan Colombia” to aid the country with Billions in military support to help bring to an end the cultivation and transportation of cocaine. Up and till today they had somewhat success because for the past 10 years, the cultivation of cocaine dropped 29% in Colombia.Now homemade submarines are being used for drug trafficking. Buenaventura, a strategic port city and maritime gateway to Central and North America, is a safe place for these narco-subs. The Colombian navy has collected a few of narco-subs. Most of the narco-subs are being built to look like speedboats with their roofs removed and most of them aren’t engineered to be completely submersible.

So far, Colombian authorities have no idea how many of these vessels have been deployed to the United States. These vessels carry unlawful substances and a couple of men to operate it. It takes weeks for these men to reach the United States with one of these vessels with no bathroom. The latest design is called a “Torpedo” model because it’s an unmanned vessel that will be towed by another boat or ship.
