Isla Mujeres -- a small, unassuming island just off the coast of the Yucatan Penninsula -- may become home to 12 new aircraft for the Mexican Navy. Early last year it was announced the Mexican Navy would be considering purchasing 12 Russian-built Sukhoi Su-27 Flankers. These aircraft would be used as anti-terrorism and anti-pirating roles in protecting Mexican oil interests in the gulf.
