Colombian Navy captures unmanned narco submarine in Caribbean Sea

Basically, the title. The illegal drug trade is just getting more anti-human.

The incident marked the first known use of unmanned underwater vessels in drug trafficking. According to the Colombian Navy, the discovery of the autonomous semi-submersible highlights a shift toward more advanced and sophisticated smuggling technologies. These systems enhance the ability of criminal networks to evade detection, posing an increasing threat to international maritime security.

I wonder if it's fully submersible, or a snorkle afair?

Either way, if they got that one, another three probably made it past uninterrupted.

Because there is no real war on drugs.

Why would you need a snorkle if its unmanned? I dont know anything about subs but it just seems pointless to me.

Speaking to Naval News, H. I. Sutton, an experienced OSINT analyst and regular Naval News contributor, stated that like almost all so-called ‘narco submarines’ this vessel is not truly submersible. “It runs low in the water with just the air inlets and communications antenna above water.” he said. “This will make it very difficult to detect, although no more so than the crewed equivalent. Therefore the shift to uncrewed operations isn’t driven by increased stealth.“

Pritty much because It can allow the sub to run its diesel engine or generator for battery charging without fully surfacing.


A lot of the narco subs are not fully submersible.

I'm not for drug smuggling or the narco's.  They're a plague.  Yet, I am impressed by their tenacity and their ingenuity.

Only if they could have focused that towards something worthwhile and not drugs.  Maybe like working on an airplane toilet that doesn't hurt my Dairy air when I have the 40,000 feet diarrhea thanks to that stuff the airlines call food.

Surprised it's taken this long for them to pick one up, UAS narco boats can't be new.
