And Mexico could also have obtained a couple of battalions of AMX-30 tanks from France. They were a lot better than Stuart tanks and the French were finally phasing them out right about the time the Mexicans would have been looking for vehicles. And the French will sell anything to anybody, excluding nuclear weapons.
