    But the one's on the Falkland islands are not being cannabalised .... so this is a little irrelevant!

    making warplanes are not as the same as the passenger planes .

    unique warplanes making is very simple job can be produced by
    any ordinary countries but they are just like the wheels of vehicle
    the rest parts are whole logistic - technological- strategical- value added

    it is very very hard / not possible to make all together these systems by any countries except USA , China , Russia . !

    Tornado or Typhoon is a moot point if all you're going to do is run away from them fast as possible anyway. I doubt the Argies would recognise the difference, unless they have eyes in their backsides that is.

    Because seems there is not Typhoom left to take a picture : )

    “Defense equipment minister Peter Luff said: ‘This is a routine measure”

    Yes in third world countries.

    Sad very sad, the nation that once was known as the “Fierce Lion of the Seas” now ended up as the little cat of the Loch Ness lake.

    No carriers, no planes, no money, no army, no jobs, no education, no hopes, no democracy, no flag?

    All thanks to incompetent corrupts politicians and of course voted by brainwashed voters.

    we can and rightly say what we want, as they are British, and freely wish to remain British, why then does Argentina keep on and on about them causing trouble, would it have anything to do with the fact that Britain is conceived as weak, perhaps the British government should put Argentina in its place once and for all, so the whole world can understand it position,
    if Argentina thinks they are hers then go to the courts, and settle it once and for all, then hold a referendum and see if the people wish to remain British, once and for all, then if all goes well [and it will] the British government should i feel formally warn Argentina that any further attempt to interfere with the Falkland’s, wound very well and could lead to war, , sooner or later all aggressors will either back off, of drag you to war,
    Just a thought.
    Like all argie bloggers you cannot see the writing on the wall.
    The hint is there for all to see, take the hint pal, take it or run
    Your choice, or stay on here and moan like all argie, moan moan lol

    Worry about your own air force nicotine

    Jaunarena said half of the Argentine air force's aircraft were grounded and pilots were losing their licenses due to lack of practice on aircraft.

    Last year Argentine military commanders called for more funds to be allocated for an urgent refurbishment of Argentine armed forces.

    Jaunarena said Argentina's military administration was in a “bad shape” and the armed forces needed basic supplies, including spares for military equipment and ammunition

    The term cannibalized is a bit misleading. All they have done is take spare parts off planes they currently arent using, and use them on planes currently in use.

    It's pretty standard stuff. It doesn't destroy the three planes and when new spare parts come from the factorys in europe they can just be put back on the planes.

    Bit of a non story really.

    18 zethe “The term cannibalized is a bit misleading”
    Not really.
    In Malvinas the “superheads”love to do that with a expensive lift bought for elderly and special needs people.
    “Lidda Luxton asked whether there could be better Town Hall Access. She mentioned that there should have been a lift installed but nothing seemed to come of it, even though a lift had been imported years ago”
    Dick Sawle said that the lift had been found but it had been highly CANNIBALISED and was now obsolete as well”

    Emma Edwards mentioned that the British should have been more accurate with their shelling during 1982 and we would have a new town hall.

    Studies estimate that 4.5 million women a year in Argentina suffer some kind of gender violence.

    In an interview with IPS, sociologist Eleonor Faur, a United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) official in Argentina, said the passage of the law “is excellent news” and underlined that it defines violence against women “in a broad sense,” based on a comprehensive concept of the phenomenon that is not limited to the family setting.

    Was you quick enough Nicotine?

    The land grab started with a whisper that swept through “Ciudad Oculta” — Hidden City — one of Argentina's oldest slums: People are marking off home plots in the city's second-largest park. Anyone who wants to join in better move fast.

    And so they have. While politicians trade blame and police hold back, leery of a violent eviction, a new slum is being born. A few hundred squatters have quickly grown to more than 5,866, nailing boards to eucalyptus trees and putting up makeshift shelters on long-neglected soccer fields in one of the few public green spaces left on the gritty southern edge of Buenos Aires. Most are immigrants, and more than 7,400 family members are poised to join them, a government survey found.

    Don’t worry you are not going to be better off on this matter. You know that all this is illegal immigration (5m in last decades) and any country in the world even the richer can absorb this type of uncontrolled immigration and provide free houses for all.

    At least the receive from us free health service, education, income support and other benefits.

    But you in UK arrest them and send back home like nazis in they good days.

    So in my next trip to Europe I will be to make volunteer work in Calais to help fellow Iraqi, Africans, Afghani, etc. to enter into UK and get free housing and income benefits. Especially through Scotland ha ha ha.

    The number of Argentines with African ancestry is difficult to gauge. Although Africa Vive says there are a million Afro-descendants, anthropologists say the number may be no higher than 10,000. The widespread belief that blacks died off from yellow fever epidemics and during Indian wars in which they were promised freedom for fighting on the front lines is deeply rooted.

    there is only two things wrong with Argentina.
    1, she has a master, that cares more for her own ego, than her people
    And using the Falkland’s as a distraction from her own problems

    2, she has a few die hard disciple’s that have no interest in the truth
    Rather than an excuse just to attack the islanders verbally,
    Perhaps if she is frightened to go to the ICJ, then great Britain should end this farce [and take Argentina their instead]
    And let the whole bloody world see their decision once and for all.
    Then the Falkland’s and Britain can sit back and see what Argentina does next .??

    May be you are lying about that figure Why? May be because half of UK’s population is from African ancestor? ummm Racist white minority that want to hide Black British may be?

    That is not a good sign of human rights. Does it?

    “The number of Argentines with African ancestry is difficult to gauge. Although Africa Vive says there are a million Afro-descendants”
    Really?

    And can you tell me where all these black population is in Argentina please?

    I've tried really harder to fine a black person in Argentina but I only found one and guess from where is he from?

    Another myth made by you mate?

    BTW do you know the Rolling Stones are Argentineans?

    @57NicoDin,
    You weren't laughing too much in 1982, Nicholas.
    Try the same trick again & we'll make sure you don't laugh then, either.

    Aye i think it helps them get over loosing last time, inferiority complex, feelings of inadequacy, ect.

    Forces have done pretty well to be honest, Not many forces can support three wars over 10 years being in multiple ones at once.

    I mean it's easy to link storys and laugh but look what happened last time they tried to win a war 400 miles away from home...Lost, miserably. We're fighting two at the moment both thousands of miles away from home.

    Marcos:

    Iraq - Don't really want to have the same conversation with you a third time.
    Afghanistan - The goals were to shut down the training camps, Kill Bin ladin, kill off the leaders and train the national army. These goals have all been met for the most part. Not all wars are won or lost in a few weeks, some last for several decades.
    Lybia - I personally think that unless a bomb drops on Gadaffi's head this will be another long, drawn out war.

    zethe,
    Totally disagree in the first two, like most of the world.
    I agree on the third.

    Saddam disagreed on the first one
    Bin ladin, disagreed on the second one,
    gad daffi disagreed on the third one,

    The first two are dead.

    You would do Marcos. It helps alleviate the feelings inadequacy you have over 82.

    Gadaffi is standing up against the hole of NATO and they do not have the strength to defeat him. If only we could do the same against them. I admire Gadaffi who is standing up against the Imperialism of NATO and US.
