Throughout history, Mexico has been greatly concerned about having a self-sufficient military free from a foreign dependency on weaponry and technology. This is partly due to Mexico's history, one of recurring invasions and foreign interventions. The Mexican military has established an impressive infrastructure to produce its weaponry to accomplish this. The army currently controls weaponry manufacturing and research; yet, during the last decade, the private sector has started to realize how profitable the defense industry can be. As these private corporations gain popularity, Mexican UAVs, firearms, and armored vehicles are making their way to international markets in Latin America, Asia, and even Europe, where Mexico has the potential to become a major defense and security industry manufactured. The Mexican War Factory showcases Mexico's most successful, innovative, and used firearms, armored vehicles, warships, UAVs, and aircraft built in Mexico and used throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.
