Mexico`s air force is an extension of the police, there are good military people, but many are just repressing the Mexican people, when they killed 10 teachers in the state of Oaxaca last month, the Mi-8s were flying over the area


It is sad when the military only works to kill their own people
those i think are Blackhawks


Mexico operates Russian and American helicopters, the military was not involved directly it was the police who shot the teachers but they were there flying Blackhawks and Mi-8s that day
