MiG-21M 58
MiG-21UM 7

F-5E 28
TOTAL 438
The MiG-21Ms, MiG-23BNs/MFs and L-39Zs had been updated to use Magic II IRMs, which the Mexican’s possessed in considerable numbers. The Israelis also updated a number of MiG-21M to use the Python-4. The MiG-21F-13s continued to use AA-8 and AA-11 missiles, but they were for the most part retained for air defense in Mexico though the pilots primarily trained for the attack role (armed with a pair of rocket pods and two 1100-lb bombs) and used that training during the civil war, hitting rebel ground forces advancing on Mexico City. Mexican combat squadrons numbered between 12 to 20 aircraft.

This is good, but your AF is short recon. you might want to change a few mig-21 to MIG-21R or give them a half squadron of Mig-25's. Mig25s are hard to keep flying so you might want to keep that in mind[/QUOTE]
I think this was supposed to go in another thread
