nah they just dont like the law
Well the Mexican Navy was post to get the 3 P-3 Orion back in 2001 but the deal was canceled in 2002 along with 14 SH-2 Seasprites. But I heard their planning to get more CH-53s, but I don't if they were getting from the United States or Israel. But Mexico needs some new military equipment to replace some of their outdated equipment.
Yeah, I agree.
We allready have 3 CH-53 yas´or in the airforce from israel to replace outdated russian helos. Navy do have some modernized CASA´s to do lrp, quiet effective working with the couple e-2 they have.
Humvees come to replace outdated transports and to privode a lot more movility to our troops.
Gothjod is right on spot, we are replacing material in urgent need to be replaced, transports, helos, vehicles, assault rifles.
We certainly don´t have the need to replace ifv or apc or jet fighters right now, needs in that departament calls for trainers with coin capabilities.

Well I know they got 4 CH-53s and I do Mexico needs some jet trainers with attack capabilty to replace the AT-33s. But after see these weapons what the drug lords got, they should get some APCs and IFVs. But what happen to M-113s that were post to get from the U.S.
Tnx it was 4 not three.
In a nutshell we don´t need jet trainers exactly man, we need turboprop trainers for they are easy to operate, easy to mantain, and lot cheaper than jets. You must think in coin role, where a jet is too much a tool for such a job. Turboprops are perfect for such task in cost benefit. That is why jets are not needed, and haven´t been needed in 25 years.
We all ready have apc and ifv, and they haven´t been knocked out by narcs or guerrillas. And it wouldn´t matter if we got newest apc or ifv, with some of the at weapons captured those vehicles would be history anyway.
So you don´t spend hundreds of millions just for a posibility, it´s not reasoble. There is not need then, no expense.

Nice to hear that.
What kind of APC/IFV does the Army have? (beside the Humvees)
Here's a website which tell's you about APCs/IFVs of the Mexican military.

Yesterday, '' El mata policias'' (Cop Killer), considered of great importance in the Arellano Felix Cartel was arrested along with other members as part of the ''Operation Tijuana'' during a raid by the PFP.
Official report
Es considerado como uno de los hombres de mayor confianza de “El Tigrillo”
En el mismo operativo también fueron detenidos integrantes de una banda de secuestradores y se aseguró un arsenal
Como parte de los trabajos de inteligencia que se realizan en el Operativo Tijuana, elementos de la Policía Federal capturaron a Víctor Magno Escobar Luna alias “El Matapolicías”, quien es considerado uno de los presuntos operadores del cartel de los Arellano Félix. En esta acción, efectivos federales también detuvieron a integrantes de una banda de secuestradores y aseguraron un arsenal.
Magno Escobar, quien al momento de ser detenido dijo llamarse Héctor González Pérez, es uno de los hombres de mayor confianza de Javier Arrellano Félix, alias “El Tigrillo”. Se le conoce como “El Matapolicías” por su presunta responsabilidad en el homicidio de varios agentes municipales y ministeriales.
El integrante del cartel de los Arellano Félix fue detenido cuando policías federales cumplimentaban una orden de cateo en la casa ubicada en Ingenieros Civiles número 10267, colonia Chapultepec, Delegación Centro, en Tijuana, Baja California. En el lugar fueron aseguradas tres AK-47, un MP-5, tres AR-15, un arma corta Glock 9mm, cuatro chalecos antibala y dos camionetas. El arsenal era custodiado por Juan Carlos Calderón Ávila, de 37 años y Carlos Gutiérrez Padilla, de 34, quienes estaban acompañados de Yoana Berenice Belmonte Alegre, de 18 años, y Dalia Teresa Sánchez Armas o Melani Armas Barajas, de 20.
Afuera de ese domicilio, fue detenido también el policía municipal Carlos Castro García, quien dijo ser escolta de la familia Guzmán, dueños del Gran Hotel. El oficial presuntamente cuidaba el domicilio cateado y se le aseguró una pistola Beretta 9 milímetros de cargo, así como un automóvil Grand Marquis.
Una vez realizada esta operación, las investigaciones condujeron al cateo de un segundo inmueble, ubicado en Avenida Artículo 27, número 250, del Fraccionamiento Soler, donde fueron detenidos tres presuntos secuestradores. En el lugar se liberaron a dos víctimas, quienes se encontraban amordazadas. Los presuntos delincuentes son: Julio César Ibarra López, de 38 años; Alfredo Castro Rodríguez, de 23 años, y Josué Naranjo Melgar, de 40 años. También se aseguraron dos armas. Un rifle AR-15 y una pistola Brownning, 9 milímetros, así como una camioneta.
Las armas y los automóviles quedaron a disposición del Agente del Ministerio Público de la Federación. Víctor Magno Escobar Luna alias “El Matapolicías”, así como los demás detenidos fueron trasladados a la ciudad de México, a las instalaciones de la Subprocuraduría de Investigación Especializada de Delincuencia Organizada. (SIEDO), donde rinden su declaración.
Con estas acciones, la Secretaría de Seguridad Pública y la Procuraduría General de la República refrendan su compromiso institucional de combatir al delito en todas sus manifestaciones, con irrestricto apego a la ley.

Great, I hope he gets a sentence that will guarantee that he rots in a Maximum security jail Mexico and then gets extradited so that he can receive another like sentence in the US. I would not like to be in that poor mofo's shoes. Score one for the good guys.Yesterday, '' El mata policias'' (Cop Killer), considered of great importance in the Arellano Felix Cartel was arrested along with other members as part of the ''Operation Tijuana'' during a raid by the PFP.
