I actually like the HOT-1 combined with the MILAN for their vehicles - its a good mix and would be effective against everything but the heaviest tanks.
Now having the Cubans provide them with RPG's (along with Soviet Division Cuba) makes pretty good sense - but all they had was the RPG-7 Otherwise what they had was: 106 mm recoilless rifles, Carl Gustav recoilless rifles and RL-83 Blindicide The US sold them the MK153 SMAW (not sure on the date) but not sure if they sold them any HEAA anti-armor rockets or not. And remember the 49th was out of position on peacekeeping duties in the upper Midwest when the Mexicans invaded - so initially they wouldnt have had any tanks opposing them there (the 46th was in Texas as was the School Brigade but neither of them had any tanks) and the 40th was still rebuilding and out of position as well - so they picked a good time to invade - i.e. the tank forces that usually would be there to stop them dead were all elsewhere |
