Drug cartels’ homemade armored ‘monster’ tanks seized by Mexican governmentBy MaryAnn Martinez

The Mexican government released video of customized “Franken-tanks” seized from drug cartels being destroyed.
The narco vehicles have been modified with battering rams and steel plates welded onto regular pickup and semi trucks to make them extra-tough for the deadly drug runners’ nefarious activities.
They could be seen getting torn up by a crane in government footage that went as far as blurring the identity of the crane operator to protect him from any repercussions.
The so-called “monster” vehicles look like a cross between cartoon tanks and medieval war machines.
Some even have openings for machine guns so cartel snipers can pick off rival cartel members or Mexican law enforcement officers, according to the site Border Report.
