The weapon, which is only sold to armies and has been widely used during the invasion of Ukraine, was in the hands of a hitman from Los Escorpiones, a cell of the Gulf cartel, which operates in Reynosa.
These are weapons that cost between $20,000 and $60,000 on the black market, with shots that can cost approximately $30,000 per ammunition and require specialized training to operate.
The armed civilian who boasts an embroidered emblem of Los Escorpiones, in addition to carrying the missile launcher, has an AK47 rifle and wears a tactical vest.
ZeroHedge reports that the weapon appears to be an AT-4, “a Swedish-made disposable anti-tank launcher, which was also sent to Ukraine with Javelins.”
In March 2022, the US pledged to send 6,000 of their own AT4s to Ukraine.
“Matamoros directly borders Brownsville, Texas,” ZeroHedge added.
