Mexican TNCA Salinas Tank

The TNCA Salinas was an early Mexican tank built in the revolutionary period, associated with Alberto Salinas Carranza and Mexico’s attempts to develop domestic military technology. Its appearance reflected the influence of contemporary tracked fighting vehicles while using local industrial resources. It was not the beginning of a large Mexican tank-production program. The vehicle’s importance lies in the attempt to create an indigenous armored machine outside the principal European tank-building states. The limited undertaking did not establish a large Mexican tank industry; army mechanization continued through other local experiments and purchases of foreign equipment during later decades. Mexico’s revolutionary governments sought military independence through domestic workshops and aviation projects.
