The “Drug” war in Mexico is in all but name a civil war to see who controls Mexico, the homemade tanks show that all of the weapons control laws in the world are useless when some group of people want to build weapons to either defend themselves on in this case oppress others and fight for control of the nation. The home made armored vehicle is well thought out and the sides seem to be designed to stop light anti-tank missiles and grenades from destroying it.
