    Or some IFVs with modern ATGMs. Fit mexicos needs better, and if they need to kill a MBT then they can.

    If I recall correctly, those images where taken outside of a prison somewhere in Mexico state after threats of a massive prison break. Also, it was prior to 2006 so natuaraly all to do with the army before 2006 will look ancient.

    Why would they want to spend money on a light tank from 1953 which dose not fufill any of their needs in anyway. Those are even older then the VCI's which they are trying to replace.

    Not only that, the AMX-13 was already obsolete after their showing in Six Day War in 1967 even despite some were upgraded. They were pretty much pointless against Egyptian & Syrian tanks like the T-54/55 and T-62 tanks and after the war, Israel sold them to a number of nations. So, ordering these would be pretty much stupid and a waste of money.

    No offense but you're not very forward thinking. A lot of your suggestions involve Mexico purchasing old, outdated equipment not in production anymore. Their armed forces deserve better.

    F5s? haha.

    And sure cobras or something similar would be good, but a COIN aircraft would be way better than a fast mover.
