  1. Screw that game
    50
  2. Not exactly. The primary threat are large unconventional wars and small conventional wars. The idea of fighting the US head on is so absurd that Mexico doesn't even bother with tanks and fighter jets
    50
  3. Mexican soldiers almost exclusively fight other Mexicans. They only left their own borders to fight once in their entire history
    21
  4. The Russians have more armor and better armor and don't have to import any of it
    19
  5. And rogue politicians/generals, and vigilantes
    17
  6. Screw that game and everything it stands for

  7.  @MrAwsomenoob  Most of those have been scrapped or sold to turdworld allies while a few have received modern electronics. It's the normal life cycle of a tank

  8.  @Matt_The_Hugenot  There's no conventional threat from the US since WWII when the Feds and Federales started working together.

  9.  @moic9704  The difference between a coup and a war is whether or not you call it one. And Mexico's democracy has been interrupted several times by infighting

  10. Those were civilian contractors, though. Mexico gives odd jobs to soldiers to hide the costs on the budget

  11. They call them monsters and they're not tanks.

  12. they choose the right weapons for the job

  13.  @mr.lorenzo3620  It creates children that think they know a damn thing about armies

  14. They never have

  15. South Africa has a weird mix of some of the best forces and some of the worst, while Mexico is universally mediocre

  16. Mexican armed forces is loaded with questions like that... Especially when vigilantes are involved
    2
  17. Cartels, vigilantes, revolutionaries, rogue generals/politicians, take your pick
    2
  18. Mexico is everyone's friend. And by that I mean Washington is its overlord and everyone else can help reduce dependence on the US. You saw a mix of American and European equipment here.

  19. They're choosing the right weapons for the job, but their bosses are notorious cheapskates
    2
  20. Correction: The best units are in central Mexico only partially as a strategic reserve, but also for coup-proofing efforts. These units generally go through reorganizations with every new President who makes sure his cronies are commanding the right places

  21. @moic9704  I have family from there and I'm a military historian who reads about it

  22. This goon thinks tanks do the same job as APCs. No, tanks are really only good for large conventional land wars and Mexico's southern border is mountainous jungle while their's a juggernaut on their northern border which no one is planning a conventional war with. Mexico also ignores fighter jets for the same reason, because they mostly fight small conventional wars and large unconventional wars... Against each other. Also, the Federales are notorious cheapskates

  23. The US and Mexico have been allied since WWII and the idea of a conventional war in el norte is so absurd that Mexico doesn't bother with tanks and jet fighters because there is no conventional war threat. There are HUNDREDS of Feds in Mexico training forces and hunting cartel kingpins (El Chapo was found by a DEA agent). And the Federales are notorious cheapskates and Mexico is a poor country, so IDK what you mean by "modern"

  25. Lose the bullshit. They did a lot of things

  26.  @Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent  define "advanced army"

  27. The bosses are more concerned with election politics then national enemies
    1
  28. Nah, they're too cheap for that too
    1
  29. clandestine groups often form around a person and never have a standard organization. That and everyone will downplay their role in the group unless they're directly related to the boss

  30. Cartels are vigilantes have some armored trucks and no air support.
    1
  31. Tanks are ideal for the American desert, but the idea a conventional war on that front is absurd
    1
  32. The cartels mostly use personal weapons to "be discrete"

  33. @SantaClaus-kk8zr  no, it attracts weebs who pretend they know tactics

  34. The Federales are notorious cheapskates

  35. Same job, different boss

  36. A couple decades ago

  37. That's one way to say you have no idea what you're talking about. It varies from regiment to regiment, from cartel to cartel, and from year to year. For instance, La Federacion went down because they killed a DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camerena just for doing his job. The US President made a phone call to the Mexican President, and the Mexican Army went all-in taking down La Federacion Sicarios.

  38.  @pericleslegendario7022  Narco wars started in the 70s with La Federacion. Look up Enrique "Kiki" Camerena

  39. Depends if you're willing to risk prison time

  40.  @soupdrinker  Civilian contractors I said.

  41. They're notorious cheapskates, and it's an undeveloped country. They are choosing the right weapons for the job

  42. Mechanized infantry are ideal for that

  43. For fighting other Mexicans.

  44. Shut up

  45. Mexico uses uniformed personnel for weird stuff to hide the real costs from voters/taxpayers

  46. Lose the bullshit

  47.  @moic9704  I don't even know what that is, I'm a military historian. Mexico's democracy has been interrupted many times by infighting

  48.  @moic9704  Is that your way of saying you don't know much about Mexico?
    1
  49.  @moic9704  you say that as if you forgot the original comment
    1
  50. Mexico relies on the US for that. They don't need them for the anticipated wars.
