Subject Matter: Army vs Sicarios confrontation
Recommendation: No prior subject matter knowledge required
The confrontation occurred on the border of Matamoros, with 2 soldiers killed and one sicario
Authorities released information about a confrontation between elements of the Army and an armed group. The events occurred on the border between Matamoros and Valle Hermoso, Tamaulipas where 5 persons were registered with serious wounds and two army elements and one sicario were killed.
The incident occurred at Los Ejidos Vanguardia, around Carretera Nacional 24.
WARNING STRONG BLOOD IMAGE ON THE NEXT PAGE
Police reports refer that the elements of the Army were attacked by an armed commando while carrying out an operation. At the location they discovered rifles, spare magazines and ammunition.
(Otis: The main picture shows what looks like a .50 cal strike on the windscreen of the armored car, which caused the armored car to crash into a drainage ditch. Given the location, this may well have been an ambush set up and planned for the military, by CdG sicarios.)
Further details will be posted when available.
The Coordination group for Tamaulipas released a press release with pretty much no further information than has already been released, other than the delinquents were in vehicles and escaped after the confrontation. Valorportamaulipas also has no further information regarding the incident.

The bullet did not penetrate the windscreen, right?
ReplyDeleteNo I dont think so, that screen looks like it was built to stop .50 cal judging by the thickness of the glass.
DeleteIt looks to me that fragments indeed penetrante the glass.
DeleteThose are made to take regular. 223 or lesd than,. 308
Yes, glass wont stop .50
DeleteI dont understand how crashing into a ditch leaves you dismembered like that!! Was he pulled out and tortured?
ReplyDeleteMaybe he fell out the Humvee and it crushed his legs when it flipped or something...
DeleteNo just the result of not being strapped down in a violent crash. You can see where they stripped off his vest to do CPR.
DeleteAlso the de-gloving injury to the thigh above where the lower leg was ripped off is a classic auto accident injury. Degloving only happens when there is significant force or speed behind the injury; it would be near impossible to recreate the same clean detachment of dermal tissue from muscular tissue with a knife.
DeleteNot a humvee that's a long wheel base pan hard vbl
Delete8:15 Thanks 4 that info. Good 2 know. In Mexico we would just say " Se partieron la madre!" - Sol Prendido
Delete5:23am Oh boy, just stick to watching movies.
DeleteHe was on the turret... he sits up high and probably flew off the rolling humvee,.. they do have a strap not a seat belt the strap does not do much but may assist the turret gunner from moving but will not hold him in place as would a seat belt would.....
Delete5:13 It's not a humvee!
DeleteMaybe he was doing a quick yoga routine when he got killed.
DeleteMaybe it got hit by a grenade got sent flying up in the air how can .50 cal make some armoured vehicle crash like that?
Delete@11:17 What does my valid question have to do with movies? I dont see any constructive criticism from your comment.
Delete@9:35
DeleteDid you even bother to read the title of the article?? It doesn't say it was a simple crash in a ditch does it? No. It says it was a confrontation between the military and criminals, right? So, there was a lot that went on, A LOT. Understand so far? Maybe he wasn't on the vehicle and his legs got blown off and fell in the ditch. Maybe he was on the vehicle on top, shot thru the legs, flipped with vehicle and fell in a ditch. Maybe neither. The PROBLEM is that you simply saw the two pics and, erroneously, ASSUMED the person laying in the ditch crashed while he rode in the vehicle. Your question has nothing to do with movies nor was my comment meant to be constructive because it's pointless to try and explain. Hence, just go watch a movie - it is more "constructive" if you do that.
Some way to die. Laying in a ditch, busted up. For what? A corrupt government? I'm sure Pena Nieto would do the same thing for him.
ReplyDeleteGood point, does anyone care these soldiers getting attacked and killed by thugs that are supported by corrupt elements in their own government ?
DeleteIt's called being a patriot. Some Mexicans and gueros love Mexico.
DeleteI bet you don't have anything to say about soldiers that die in ditches made by IED's over in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria.. etc etc.. I bet you have a valid reasonable answer for the; what? And your answer is not about a corrupt gov and your sure Onama or grump would do the same thing for him. Right?
DeleteAtte; el que chinga a tu madre.

DeleteI salute the brave Mexican soldiers. They give their life for Mexico

ReplyDelete'La Tuta', el último gran capo detenido en México, aprovecha una charla sobre ajedrez para lanzar proclamas de su violento y estrafalario cartel
https://internacional.elpais.com/internacional/2017/07/25/actualidad/1500947078_068427.html
7:43 "este violent y estrafalario cartel" les sacó la caca a muchos cabrones, y todavia no se la acaban.
DeleteI'm sure la puta tuta's videos "the tutateca" has disappeared, too many dirty politician's caught there.
how come they never post when people from cjng get caught??
ReplyDeleteSo that way you what cartel controls los pinos.
DeleteThats what i wanna know many cjng are being captured or killed and there is no reports on any.
Delete@4:29 los pinos control the cartels gringo! U didnt know that?
DeleteThey want them out just because they don't look like cowboys & because they aren't making enough money to pay the million dollar bribes.
DeleteIt's because there always has to be a "super hero" cartel that is indestructible. For a minute it was Los Zetas and for many years it was CDS. Now it's the flavor of the year CJNG.
DeleteThem assholes from jalisco are tricking people into going to job interview were they kidnap the victims and force them to work for them. I read the story in valor por tsmaulipas. Thats fucking pathetic
Delete@3:45 im pretty sure it was on blog del narco too
DeleteSo let me understand this why is it that in every ambush more sicarios died than military? And yes I know in sinaloa the military got smashed big time but come the people who ambush them where ex.military
ReplyDeleteFirst off, it's all propaganda; the government never gives accurate statistics of military deaths. This goes all the way back to when they tried to capture El Chayo de Michoacán in 2007. The battle went on for multiple days and involved over 1,000 combatants. The government went on to say less than 20 soldiers died. Point is, never take the government's accounting of their own deaths seriously, and doubly so for the government's reckoning of how many sicarios died.
DeleteAnd still sinaloa gas a long way to go, tamaulipas is thevplace where more soldiers get killed year after year. Plus THAT'S one of the few times cds actually cobfronted the military. They were not ex military you dummy" they were just over powered with more guys to save el kevin who got killed anyways, I'm sure itveas cds who killed him too. Chapitos were scared shitless, sending letrers to media and all that bs..
DeleteOnce again just the fact that military has ar 15 type weapons it also means that they will shoot more acurately. Btw more mexicans marines die in tamaulipas then anywhere else in mexico.
DeleteThey don't report everyone who died in the military to protect their families
DeleteThe military died in the crash in this case, the got to running away "como pedo de indio" when the fire started. But what is a trokita pendeja with 4 or 5 soldiers doing there by itself?
DeleteOh, I know, nomas andaban ahI de calientes.
.
The windows of the humwee are not bulletproof to .50. I dont think this was .50 at all which damaged the windshield.
ReplyDeleteMilitary got ambushed but they got scared, fucked up the humwee in panic and were shot when leaving the truck.
Did they not killed 3soldiers. 2nd pic Shows an leg. I doubt it belongs to the soldier. If he lost his leg there should be much more blood in the water.
That is not a humvee
DeleteThat leg belongs to the same soldier.

7:26 hey kate, su casa mi casa, ok?
DeleteKeep you warm, winter is coming.
Will eat leftovers.
Thanks for the confirmation dr. bruce
DeleteTo stop cal.50 you need ALON or much more then 89mm of glass.
ReplyDeleteThat would depend on what type of .50 cal ammo you fired at it from what weapon/ barrel combo and the range
DeleteIts, like otis said, a panhard vbl scout vehicle. Made in France and unless the Mexican military made some adaptations to the front glass, it is not 50 cal resistant no matter from what angle, and weapon the round was fired. The damage to the windshield had to be done by other means.
DeleteCuz of stupid sicarios like these a poor man at the border will not be able to wash there window for money
DeleteHey when is chino getting Out where is mayito where is cheyo where is toy toy changito? Who leading antrax where is serafin who much more does el venaditto have? Chivas a lil intel would help

How come Mexican military dont use drones?? My kid has a drone you mean to tell me they so poor they cant afford drones to see who and what is up ahead..shit I'll buy them a few if they cant afford them..arriba Eagle Pass compa.
ReplyDeleteSi usan la base esta en agualeguas n.l revisa google maps en satelite y miraras la base aerea. Yo personalmente los mirava despegar, tenia casa sercas de la base.
DeleteThats a clever idea with drones no halcon or sicario would even know there being watched. Cmon bro this aint preschool. These are meth heads that already believe satelites are watching them so whats the point. Oh yea and there so poor they use choppers instead of drones since there a lot cheaper
DeleteEl "hombrecito" de Agualeguas NL got tired of drones,
DeleteHe a full LADRÓN, el ratero asesino carlos salinas de gortari con orejas de ratón, he stole the whole store, the military budget, the partidarios secreta, and left the heroic mexican military to their own devices, chewt, kurder, extort, kidnapping and get all the ransoms they can, or else...
Wow. Thats fucken crazy . Those motherfuckers

DeleteNomas falta el gordo fresa
DeleteWith all these killings everyday and the consequences of involvement of drug trafficking / illegal activities , still stunned by those willing to engage in such.
ReplyDeleteDo commend the insight and knowledge of what's transpiring with this site. Recommend by a colleague who like many reading junkies to get a perspective of life engulfed in Mexicos drug violence.
What I have witnessed is the lack of attention news/ media it receives worldwide. A humanitarian crisis Indeed.
Many of us are all aware of government censorship for malicious and political purposes.
However, can only hope that such reporting journalism deters one from engaging. Outcomes and consequences are clearly evident. And that an educated mind and meaningful life is by true means ones prosperity.
I want to thank you BB for the awareness.
However I will be refraining from further postings due to childish and to be honest individuals who know nothing or knowledge of
the game and lifestyle.
@7:21 You sure dont know anything about poverty. I know that you can not imagine it but for a kid las letras no entran cuando tiene hambre.
DeleteThey like the $$$$$
Delete7:21 don't cut and run,
Deletejust because you did not "educate anybody" does not mean WE failed at educating YOU, if you quit our mission will not be accomplished, capisci, captas?
7:21 ain't ever been hungry, dysfunctional minds are often genetic, always blaming the plebes is going to do wonders for all of us when they finally get arrested and sent to the gas chambers on trains or in prisons.
DeleteNow, you do not lose your name just because you are quitting E42, is it like a loophole or sompim'?
Otis seems to know his shit! People need to take notice of his comments, before they keep spouting incorrect facts. Thanks for all you do at BB Otis. I always take notice of things you write. You know your stuff man. Take care
ReplyDeleteSame shit just another day.
ReplyDeleteI like the picture where the sicario is dead
ReplyDeleteCompa quien anda rifando para Parral?
ReplyDeleteCDJ & Zetas took over
DeleteJaja ta pendejo compa
DeleteEl 300 de la gente nueva tiene la plaza de parral
Y no diga que no porque yo soy de ahi
DeleteJust clarifying its not a humvee, again its not a f@kn humvee!!!!
ReplyDeleteDoes it matters? Nor humvee or his small brother is .50 bulletproof
DeleteYes, it matters because ever other comment says it's a humvee.
DeletePutos gordos cherrys de mierda
ReplyDeleteEsos ya mamaron cortez los hizo pedasos, y k bueno Matamoros lleva rato que está más calmado. Esto que ves aki son gajes del oficio, son cosas que tienen que pasar lo culero es cuando paraliza la cuidad por tanto desmadre y eso no se a visto desde que llegó Cortez. Reynosa es otra historia
DeleteMy knee jerk reaction was that the soldier got his legs ripped off by the.50 caliber....but then you see the upper leg looks flattened. Severe trauma, I think.
ReplyDeleteNo cartel In matamoros just bunch of hoodlums no organization no leadership no hierarchy no rules just wild wild west
DeleteThe cartel wolfhound pack of government mastiffs just let loose on the dangerous drug trafficking mini-maruchanero cartels of carwashing rabbits...but here their brakes failed and the death squad got cogidos in a trap.
DeleteThousands to go VS Operation Tanhuato II in progress.

@10:22AM Thanks for the link Tu Fren. It is a big story but unfortunately The Washington Post will not allow us to republish their copyrighted material without their permission even thought we are totally a non profit and by allowing us to republish their story they would have several thousand additional readers of their material.
DeleteWashington Post participated in the moral assassination of Gary Webb, along with the New York Times and Los Angeles Times because their moral compass was faulty and missing in action, too much money made them misfunction.
DeleteYou may exact some cooperation from WaPo if they read this.
Poor dude died in a lot of pain if he was conscious,he must have been destroyed in the crashing of the truck,whatever we feel about the army,marina,police,some are trying to keep some kind of order and rule,it would be brutal madness without any law and order in any society in any country
ReplyDeleteOtis wjats your background? Just curious you seem to know your weapon systems very well. Thay looks like a SandCat SEDENA bought some a while back.
ReplyDeleteIt's Googl, jyst google it
DeleteBritish Ministry of Defence, worked for 14 years on a site that develops weapons and plastic explosives. Before that went to university college of London, got my degree in mechanical engineering, then served three years in the REME Regiment of the British army. Now in the civilian engineering sector while I study at the Open University for a Qualifying Law Degree
Deletewow otis! Do you do any fun side projects like building r2d2 or bb8? I wanted to go the mechanical route and get into bio-med engineering. I ended up doing civil engineering instead lol
Deletehats off to you otis.
DeleteI served along with the 2 Lancs in afghanistan in Helmand. Thank you for your articles Otis
DeleteWOW, YOU ARE A FULL SCIENTIST OTIS,
Delete--it makes me wonder what the hell are you up to,
what with all that hanging with us,
--Have you ever found anything wrong with the Queen or the Empire?
There is all that supply of wrong from the US, we even have our own Jimmy Savilles!
Hey, somebody said "if american journalists and investigators find some russian bread crumbs it is because the russians left them there on purpose", I beleeve the UK trained them well...
Thanks otis. great reporting! cowardly attack!

Delete-Desde Tierra Caliente-
ReplyDeletePusieron la emboscada a los soldados. Se matan a los soldados. Sus amigos soldados ven este asesinato. Luego se toma venganza y se les dispara a los sicarios. Los soldados son llamados por algunas personas malvados por su venganza. Es de esperar la ira.
And the worst:
ReplyDeleteThe sicarios escaped.
No air support, at least to track them as they escaped and then finish them off.
These soldiers are being set up to fail.
