A narco tank, also called rhino trucks or monstruos (Spanish for 'monster'), is a type of improvised fighting vehicle used by drug cartels.[2] The vehicles are primarily civilian trucks with improvised vehicle armour, which adds operational mobility, tactical offensive, and defensive capabilities when fighting law enforcement or rivals during drug trafficking activities.
