Narco tank
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A narco tank (also called rhino truck, or monstruo (Spanish for: monster)[1]) is an improvised armoured fighting vehicle built from a truck, which combines operational mobility, tactical offensive, and defensive capabilities. These vehicles are used by the drug cartels and other gangs in the Mexican Drug War.[2][3][4][5] About twenty of such armoured trucks have been seized in Tamaulipas state alone.
