TIME / J. Otis
Colombian cocaine traffickers have now taken "a quantum leap in technology," with a new generation of narco submarines says DEA agent Jay Bergman. "It's the difference between building a motor-scooter and building a car."
They are a hybrid of high and low technology...built deep inside the jungle...yet capable of cruising for two-weeks to Mexico and Central America.
"Our orders were to keep moving," the trafficker, who asked not to be identified, told TIME. "There's always an armed person on board to keep watch over the crew and the cargo. If anyone starts to panic or mutiny, his orders are to eliminate the troublemaker."
