Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat~from Nacroviolencia1Thanks "Doc"



Translation by "Leslie M"

Tamaulipas - Snipers of the Scorpion Group of the Gulf Cartel arrived in an armored Hummer equipped with a turret from which they could shoot with assault rifles. It was actually fitted for
combat as if it were a tactical military vehicle. It was this truck that was literally a tank with which the members of the CDG confronted the military in Rio Bravo, Tamaulipas. The events took place on the afternoon of Wednesday, January 2, 2019.

The military managed to blow up the armored vehicle which the assassins took to the entrance of a house where two armed civilians carrying AK47 rifles were also killed.

The armored truck had signs that identify the members of the Gulf Cartel of Matamoros Scorpions. Just last Monday, Decemer 31, another group of hitmen traveled in another armored vehicle that had the same signs. According to the report, those were members of the same group of Matamoros.

 Armored van captured in Reynosa during a confrontation with the military on December 31.



From 2010 to date, Tamaulipas is the state where the largest number of these armored vehicles have been confiscated, having been used in fights with authorities and rival groups. Many kinds of modified trucks with thick steel plates have been built in workshops by both the Gulf Cartel and its rivals the Zetas.


Narrative translation by Sol:


Sicarios of the Gulf Cartel Scorpion faction were traveling in an armored Hummer truck equipped with a turret from which they could shoot their assault rifles. It was arranged for combat as if it was a tactical military vehicle. It was in this truck that was literally a tank in which the members of the CDG confronted the military in Rio Bravo Tamaulipas. 

The acts occurred on the afternoon of Wednesday, January 2, 2019. The military managed to blow up the armored vehicle with which the assassins attacked them at the height of headland Satellite. Where it ended up crashing at the entrance of a house. Two armed civilians carrying AK-47 rifles were killed. The truck had some logos that identified them as members of the Sccorpions of the Gulf Cartel of Matamoros. Just last Monday, December 31 another group of assassins were traveling in another armored truck that had the same logos. 

According to the report, they were members of the same Matamoros faction who clashed with the military, since the truck had the same logo. From 2010 to date, Tamaulipas is the state where the largest number of these armored vehicles have been confiscated and used in clashes with authorities and rival groups. They have found all kinds of modified trucks with thick steel plates called Monsters. And they have been manufactured in workshops by both the Gulf Cartel and its rivals Los Zetas.

  2. Ok "snipers" using intermediate caliber and driving in a fortified hummer? Not even carrying a .50 BMG machine gun?
    We're in 2018 and they still use an old rifle that shoots a brick. At least they should upgrade to the ak 74 or 5.45mm.

  5. Total pos... not even close to military grade. They know better than to cross that line. If they did they would be destroyed by the Mex military. The cartels operate with govt permission. You think the govt is going to let them arm up with enough firepower to compete/beat the govt? Not a chance. The cartels are kept in their place by govt and they its best for business to keep it that way.

  7. The Tamaulipas fronteras is a whole other War zone. I would like to see a documentary of violence in that area. Usually only Sinaloa does documentary and no real action is seen. Only meth labs and the famous panteon.

    2. Culiacan likes the attention the rest of Sinaloa has big timers as well. How come we never see how things move in Mochis, guasave or mazatlan? Does cats don’t like attention

    3. 9:22 it seems CDS (Chapo and Mayo) approve of alot of propaganda. Music ,narco culture,media. The other plazas you named are not favored by radio, bailes at clubs ,djs at partys, television. Its the propaganda machine to win hearts and MINDS.

    1. 3:41; I first hear of several drivers from Sinaloa being flew to San Antonio to drive armored vehicles back to Sinaloa and Guadalajara as early as 2006. I remember because a boy who would drive back told me the factory he goes for the trucks prepares many vehicles for Iraq and Afghanistan, and I was surprised at this because i thought at the time maybe in USA when the government gives contract like this they would research the company better first.
