SMRTR summary

Colombian authorities seized an unmanned narco-submarine with a Starlink antenna off the Caribbean coast. This first-of-its-kind discovery in South America, believed to be a trial run by cocaine traffickers, marks a shift towards more sophisticated unmanned systems that are harder to detect and track. The vessel, owned by the Gulf Clan, could transport 1.5 tons of cocaine, reflecting drug cartels' increasing use of technology to evade law enforcement.
