True except for the coup part. Modern Mexico has typically had a non political military (aside from their south and central American brothers) and that's the main reason you haven't seen a coup in modern Mexico. That's also why AMLOS guardia nacional, and tren maya and Aero Mexico projects have been controversial as well, because people feel that it is bringing the military into the politico sphere of Mexico. (Personally I'm pro tren maya and pro GN) But there is an argument there, that it brings Mexico's military away from it's historical political neutrality

@@CarlosAlberto-sm4fy it helps that cartels aren't as eager to use IEDs as the Middle-East was, though. They're as mobile-active as the military with their armored pickups, so they'd only end up killing themselves with roadside explosive. Also, while they shoot it out with civilians and military in ambushes, they aren't capable of using heavy artillery and mortars the way Taliban and other ME groups have been known to be. Imagine the statistics for the Army and USMC if they never had to worry about IEDs or artillery from ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Just semi-traditional mountain and open field warfare. It would have been 30 to 1, if not better for us.

The Mexican army, for example, does not use humvees because the cartels use much faster pickups, and the context of the confrontations is usually persecution, which is why the army prefers faster armed trucks. On the other hand, Mexican diplomatic doctrine has always been based on the principle of non-intervention, therefore Mexico will never invade any country, there is no risk that we will face a regular army with tanks.

And the u.s and Mexico are becoming more and more friendly with one another given China being an unstable trade partner. The u.s will want to see its investment in the Mexican economy remain safe. I say let's train Mexican pilots give them our still very capable hand me downs as they no longer suite our needs. Give then those fancy hellfire missles that use a non explosive warhead and shoot swords and drug cartel king pins can be taken out. Also that 30mm auto cannon will shred cartel homemade armored vehicles .

@@HeRa06Ram I think the bigger cartel threat is RPGs, so a likely upgrade for the AFV’s is reactive armor. That said, the party currently in power in Mexico has been very hands off wrt the cartels. I think there is a lot of mystification surrounding the cartels. They don’t maintain anything resembling a military, for example. They don’t even qualify as an insurgency. They are criminal gangs and organized as such. In some cases they are well armed and they are well funded, thanks to America’s demand for drugs. That said, their capabilities seem to be magnified in the minds of some paranoid Americans. They’re a criminal threat, not a military one. They lack the organization to become a military threat. Their power and funding is largely dependent on U.S. anti-drug policies.

As others have mentioned, the Cartel/internal security threat has always meant that conventional armored formations will remain the forgotten stepchild of the Army. However, I've always found it absolutely shameful that the majority of deployed Mexican troops roll around in unarmored Humvees and pick up trucks. If the government really cared about their troops, they would have gone all-in on the Plasan Sandcat and it's local derivatives from the get-go. Their troops deserve better.

The Mexican nominal GDP is just behind Russia. Its PPP is above South Korea and Italy. Its economy is far larger than Egypts (Mexican nominal GDP is 5x larger while having only a slightly larger population) which is armed to the teeth. If Mexico wanted to arm itself it certainly has the economy to do so. Mexico doesn’t have any fancy equipment because it otherwise doesn’t need them. Any country large enough to threaten Mexico would automatically have to contend with the US. The way I see it is that Mexico sees no reason to have an overbloated military. I mean we can poke fun at their equipment but they also aren’t 30 trillion dollars in debt. Eventually the US dollar will be worthless and we can kiss having 2000 5th generation fighters, 11 aircraft carriers, and 11,000 humvees goodbye. Last point.

@@eteres-n6g The War of Independence was a civil war. Mestizo and indigenous Mexicans vs Criollo Mexicans. Spain itself was under French influence and didn’t actually send troops until 1829. Everyone remembers Texas independence but Yucatán, Tamaulipas, and Zacatecas also formed their own independence movement after the 7 laws of 1836 and were brought back into the Centralist Republic by force. i.e civil war Reform War The Revolution was a civil war. And by many accounts the Drug War is considered a low intensity civil where Mexicans are unaliving each other at record rates Mexico also didn’t have a stable head of state until the 1920s.

I once met a GAFE (Mexican Spec ops) sniper he was a friend of my uncle who served 20+ years in the military. GAFES are amazing, and they have amazing gear. However he told me he used a heavily modified M1903 Springfield rifle for some missions. Apparently this rifle was a gift from his father who served as a sniper in the US Marine Corps. He said that he loved that rifle and that it was enough to get the job done. He was offered other weapons but he insisted in using his father rifle instead if the mission allowed it. He told me he has over 45 confirmed kills with the rifle and that his father had almost 100. That rifle's been unsubscribing Nazis and Cartel members from breathing for quite long time 😂

The sight of soldiers is common, but I’ve never personally seen an armored fighting vehicle. I guess I can research this myself, but I’d certainly like to know more about Mexico’s ministry of defense’s doctrines. What is the stated purpose of the military? Against what threats are the armed forces defending? Obviously, whether it’s formally stated, they are there to defend against internal threats. I don’t think they have any worries wrt to either of their next door neighbors. Wrt published tank doctrine, I doubt that the military will procure tanks in the near future, given which party was elected in the most recent election. Anyway, this video has opened up an entirely new interest for me. Thank you for posting it! I’m curious about how Mexico’s Marines and National Guard are equipped and organized.

This video fails to mentions that every non-US and french vehicle is made by Mexico, meaning in a major war they have capacityto expand production and not get stagnated by trying to desperately get imports. The FX-05 is also a good start for domestic small arms but in that regard I think the country is never gonna really run out of small arms and ammunition is secured too as Águila ammunition is a mexican company. The biggest issue I see is the precurement of support weapons, more than tanks the country needs national production of artillery pieces, even if it's WW2-tier artillery or self-propelled howitzers we have learned from Ukraine than any artillery is useful and the enemy in terror won't be asking himself if he is getting shelled by old technology or the newest fanciest 155mm rocket-boosted shell from the germans.

all of south americas armed forces have such a hodge podge of random equipment. If there was ever a call of duty game (besides ghosts) that focused on south american conflict, then an international arsenal would be realistic.

Our army must be modernized, but that is not within the plans of the current president and the new president. He was the one who decided to cancel the modernization of the army, air force and navy Srry for the bad english

I really enjoyed this explanation Battle Order, well done. I really loved the balance between the serious explanation and the comedy when talking about the frankly outdated Mexican WW2-era equipment especially that belt-fed BAR and the M8 armored car with the cannon, it truly makes that equipment look like it came straight out of COD🤣.

As many have said, Mexico just doesn't need an armored division. No need to waste money. They focus all their efforts in Diplomacy and have an extremely strong doctrine of non-intervention. The greatest threat are cartels and those are better handled by faster vehicles or by air.

La barra que está ahí es para adaptarle una placa de acero para la protección del tirador en la torreta, además que reduce el retroceso y ayuda mucho a contener un ataque frontal; es simple, es para acostar el arma y añadirle protección al tirador. Btw, buen video guero, te quedó bien verga 🇲🇽🌮

As a Mexican who can barely understand English. The main reason why our Army is worst equiped is the goverment fear that Army or the civilians rebels agains them. Mexico dont have direct enemies like other latin countries, just the cartels. Also the pauperric defense budget get lost in corruption and salaries. Sorry for my grammar I didnt wanted to uso google traslate.
