I made this mistake with that Australian guy did that two hour video where he went to South America to do a documentary about hidden land mine fields set up by drug cartels... All the land mines were built in the USA, it was fucked up. He went hard, like how come these drug cartels have US military land mines?
If I had to hazard a guess, I would say they were probably provided to a friendly military dictatorship and/or right wing paramilitary during the era of peak CIA fuckery in Latin America, and from there either were transferred to the cartels via good old fashioned corruption, or got lifted from military stores during the inevitable unrest that happened when said dictatorship collapsed.
