Drug cartels in their quest for profit use very original smuggling methods. One of the most interesting are primitive but very clever, pseudo-submarines. Each of them takes a few tons of cocaine and barely sticking above the water surface covers thousands of kilometers. The record-breakers reach from South America to Europe. The services are capturing more and more of them, but presumably even more are breaking through.

Only the drug cartels know exactly how many of these boats are floating in the oceans. It is certain, however, that the last two years have seen a real explosion in the number of their apprehensions. While between 2007 and 2017 it was between a few and a dozen incidents per year, in 2018 it's already 35 and in 2019 36. 

How many are getting through? Perhaps even more than a hundred. So suggests probably the best informed on the subject civilian expert H I Sutton, who is just publishing a book on underwater "narcosub" (in English it sounds much better - "narcosub"). According to his unofficial information, he only manages to stop between 5-15 percent. This means that this information that goes to the public is only a small tip of the iceberg.
