Note: A good example of the sophistication and resources of the
TCO's ( DTO's, cartels, etc.) Not limited to Veracruz by any means.
for mil/commo types, interesting photos of equipment on MEX Navy
webpage listed below. Impressive resources and the expertise to use
them. Would be good to get more details. Is U.S. "technical" help
making the difference?
