With a directional pad within the charge not much. Put in a can within a bigger can of water with some stuff over the opening. Wait is it's bottom armored?
What caliber for "narco tank"?

I didn't see bottom armor on that one - a different one appeared to have some sort of primitive mine protection on the cargo area.

Although it would be overkill, A single Air Force pilot and an A-10 Warthog's 30mm GAU-8 loaded with depleted uranium and incendiary rounds would make very quick work of this thing.

True, if they could get one in the air fast enough to the right place quick enough. DMAFB has A-10s, but how long would it take for notice of a narco tank across the border to get up to the Air Force, authorization to dispatch the Warthog to actively search and destroy an armored vehicle? I would LOVE to have CAP flown over the border by A-10s, that would be awesome, but very very expensive. I also confess to having less than zero knowledge of Air Force operations, so I may be way off.
But I am betteing that such a vehicle could make a short foray into the border, cause hate and discontent, and be gone before an A-10, given day to day normal operations, could arrive. Once again, I could be and hope I am dead wrong, even though I seriously doubt these beasts will make many appearances across the border.

The thing looks like what military forces fielded in WWI. So Mexican cartels are in the 1915-1918 time range as far as armored vehicles go.
Easy pickings for military forces. For civilians? Duck and cover!!!
Biggest thing I have to counter that monstrosity is a Moisin-Nagant, or my M1903 Springfield! Not quite up to the task!!!!

There is only ONE proper caliber for a Tank, and that's 120, but seeing how those are rather heavy and hard to come by,
I guess any GP MG would do.

Fort Huachuca has an aerial drone program, and choppers, I'm sure some of those guys would love to get in some 'life fire gunnery' time.
This started a bit far afield and has certainly wander even farther.
