UK won't be bothered, these would be easy prey for the 4 jets stationed at Mount Pleasant, which are in place in a purely defensive role.

However, if the Argentines were really serious about rebuilding their airforce they'd wait one more presidential administration and focus on a modern small defense airforce instead.
But, knowing that my neighbors fail to operate logically, I assume they'll do something stupid, just like what they've done in the past.

Even if the deal went through, even if Argentina finds the money to maintain them, even if they find the money to arm them, even if they can refuel them mid air, it will be for naught as the dastardly Brits will just station more typhoons in the Islands.

As it is Argentina could barely keep track with its neighbours and that is IF the purchase is agreed and fulfilled....
There is planes that cross daily from the Bolivian and Paraguayan border and land in clandestine bases all over the north of the country. Argentina doesnt even have operational fighter jets to intercept them.
You guys have to study much more Argentina's current position and the power balance in the region.

Galtieri didn't last a week after the defeat of 1982.
If an Argentine leader dares to go that far it would be pretty much giving a Astute Class submarine green light to take down key assets of the economy in hours. The RAF carried out bombing sorties 30 years ago so it can bomb ports and cities of the coast and over the province of Bs As from the Falklands or even the Ascention Islands.

Mar 26th, 2014 - 03:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just by bombing ports of Bs As and Rosario Argentina is delivered a death blow.
Argentina needs to upkeep with the Brazilian an Chilean airforces, if Argentina was even serious about tacking the British presence in the Atlantic (notice the difference between Atlantic and not the islands) it would be developing anti submarine capabilities and upgrading and rebuilding the P-3 Orion fleet which is currently unable to patroll the continental waters, as well as getting new submarines. The money is just not there nor the political will to do it.
On the other hand Argentina's greatest security threat comes from the North along with the Bolivian and Paraguayan frontier, as well as currently having a big difference in power with Chile.
IMO this purchase is not even good enough and its pretty much another small patch to cover a increasing loophole.
43 - Fortunately Argentinas budget is only focused on its day to day goals of a standing self defence force. It has no need to fear Chile or any other Mercosur/S.American power. No need or focus on foreign colonial exploits.
Mar 26th, 2014 - 05:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Any acquisitions Argentina makes are for its own security, an assurance/insurance, nobody really has the combined motive and means to invade Argentina.
Any Arg purchases dont have the falklands/malvinas in mind as the primary focus.
The islanders however must keep in line with this naturally growing defense budget and any acquisitions made.
A budget which will grow based on exponential population growth over the decades to come. So that if they're still on the tropical Malvinas in 50 years time they'll be outnumbered by their own troops 2:1. Expensive.
Think about it.
The world would be a much better place if Chile and Brazil just divvied up Argentina equitably between the two of them.

@12 Clyde
Good link-although a C17 carrying a heavy load may need a long runway-I would not bet against it being able to land a t Stanley airport or one or two of the FIGAS airstrips (depending I guess on the season), depending on the load and how much fuel was left in the tanks.
It will be interesting to see if an A 400 could get to the Falklands after refuelling as it is more capable than a Hercules and also capable of rough strip operations-and the Falklands have plenty of those-the FIGAS grass airstrips have changed a lot in the last 30 years.
Perhaps Israel see some mileage in selling Argentina aircraft but if their aircraft suffer the same fate as Dagger vs Sea Harrier, then they will have the reputation of selling cannon fodder.

Im expecting a africanization or Mexicanization of the NOA and the border lands with Paraguay and Bolivia and that might well become a future foucus of instability.
There is no border patroll or Gendarmeria.... They are ever more send over to Bs As or to the interior to cope with ever increasing criminality

Our interest is for the most part , the Falklands, and opinions very as to can future Argentinian governments invade or cause distress , or more trouble to the Falklands, or would future governments give up their claim and seek forever peace, thus creating freedom of choice , trade , etc,
But until this is settled the British government will have to station military units of all branches in the defence of the Falklands, just in case,
For we cannot afford to make the mistake of withdrawing only to find them knocking at the door again,
No one want this conflict with argentina to carry on and on, but until they change there attitude opinion and drop the claim, then this will never be solved , unless through violence, to which one wants, except a few deluded die hards,

Mar 27th, 2014 - 06:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0C-17 Globemaster :-
The design of the aircraft allows it to carry out high-angle, steep approaches at relatively slow speeds, thus allowing it to operate into small, austere airfields onto runways as short as 3,500 feet long and only 90 feet wide.
It should also manage to get out of Mt Pleasant fully loaded..at a pinch.
I have watched and photographed C-17's from the RAF, USAF and RCAF
landing and taking off at Prestwick using less than half the runway for take off and about a third on landing.
It's range is sufficient to get from Ascension to the Falklands but the addition of air-to-air refuelling would be a wise move.
As the A 400M Atlas has an air-t0-air refuelling facilty it can reach the Falklands with a “top up ” en route supplied by the Voyager.
As a footnote, the Voyager has been cleared to fly again.
The accident inquiry found that the incident where the aircraft dropped thousands of feet suddenly was not because of any fault in the aircraft. The pilot had been using his SLR camera in the cockpit and failed to stow it properly. It fell down into the fly-by-wire side stick controls and jammed them causing the aircraft to do a sudden nose dive of 4,450 feet before it was brought back to level flight.

Mar 27th, 2014 - 10:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I would agree with your assessment of Chile's air force and the F-16..
Years ago, I had a conversation with a couple of USAF pilots who told me that flying the F-16 in a dogfight was like having a knife fight in a telephone booth. I know that RAF Tornado pilots flying against them in dissimilar combat did NOT engage in dog fights as they could not keep up with their maneuvers.. It was a case of in fast , fire missiles and leave even faster.
The aircraft the F-16''s did not like fighting was the Sea Harrier.
The theory of aerodynamics did not seem to apply to them.
Talking about side sticks and computer control, the first F-16 was almost lost when the side stick had a fault. In programming it, they got a decimal point wrong in the software and made it 10 times more sensitive than it should have been. When the pilot went to take off, the slight movement of the controls was multiplied tenfold and the aircraft went vertical. Luckily the engine was on full reheat and the power kept it going but he had a terrible job bringing it back down safely. I think the programmers got an earful when he got back !

...of course, I referring to the queen of the Low Countries...
By the way, the Malvinas DO BELONG TO Argentina... They exist as a a delusion of grandeur in the imaginative dreams of South American Kleptomaniacs...
One last question: since we're touching on the subject of kleptomania... What percentage of graft do you think a inventive government like that of CFKs could skim off an Israeli half billion Dollar refurbished jet fighter contract?

Nice statement but unfortunately there is nothing you or Ukistan can do.
“as for our Queen is concerns, this is purely envy on your part because you don't have one, and thus criticise others that do,”
Only a stupid can feel envy because you have a mummy as a head of state.
You guys are so amazing...
Everyone in the west laugh about your middle age political system with mummy queen and you think that the rest of the world is jealous for that...

You believed in the crap of Argentine invincibility.
You managed to wrest control of a poorly defended group of islands with a huge military invasion and had the arrogance to think that no one could possibly take it back from you.
You had every advantage but you blew it. To be fair though, you are good at mass patriotic demonstrations with flag waving a shouts of Patria. Not much else though .
OK, YOU tell me HOW Argentina could militarily invade the Falklands and defeat Britain. I await your strategic knowledge with interest.
You are correct in one aspect. I cannot say what the situation will be like in the years 2300, only within the foreseeable future.

Sorry but no. What I do wonder is why you are so bitter and twisted and what made you so. I can only guess but I really don't care.
Your job here is to try and rile people with crap comments at your master's bidding.
I understand that so there is no point in being angry with the mentally challenged. Your methodology is SO obvious and some of your posts are stupid to the nth degree,
For example, untrained Argentinian conscripts sank half the British fleet.
Do you still stand by that remark ? One of the many pieces of stupidity OR ignorance which have emanated from your keyboard.

Now let’s not be disparaging of the argie military. It’s not their fault that they have out of date equipment, from the fully auto FAL (what a joke, even a good shot can’t hit anything with these) to ships that turn over in port and carry out of date munitions anyway. And their airforce! Has ANYONE ever SEEN an argie plane FLYING in the last two years and make it back on the ground in one piece?
Mar 31st, 2014 - 09:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No, TMBOA is so scared they will make a coup and shoot her on the front lawn of Casa Rosada that she has starved them of funds.
But of course there is something that we just cannot overlook. They are all cowards when faced with a real army, especially one that can come across the Falklands and kick their arses off the islands. But then again who in the whole of SA wouldn’t be?

Apr 01st, 2014 - 01:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No Dany, I rather look forward to your posts. They are rather entertaining.
To get angry with someone, you have to have some feeling for them.
Water off a duck's back as they say here.
I just reply in kind to whatever your latest diatribe is.
Some are laughably stupid although I don't think this about you.
You have a trolling agenda and will post remarks that you hope will offend and make people angry. That is your sole purpose here.
Whether or not you are a paid up La Campora member is of no consequence, but you peddle their line.
If I remember, the remark was made in another thread. If it was not by you, then I apologise. Who made it ?. I don't take running notes on postings for future reference . That sort of thing would indicate a rolling plan which I do not have.
By the way, to which remark are you referring. Could you also explain what you mean by a Britonwanabee
@Clyde15
Apr 02nd, 2014 - 03:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0You don’t need to apologise Clay anyway I appreciate your gesture.
Anyway To be honest I’m not sure now who was but I remember that he says something like...
“If you were so stupid to sent untrained soldiers or something like that...”
So I added that the untrained soldiers have sunk half of the Royal Navy, etc.
And then you have corrected me that was not a half of the RN and you call me ( I don’t remember know) because what was obvious for you that the Argie Pilots where professional military personnel.
And of course you where right but my irony was to show the idiot poster that none can sink any military fleet even from Bolivia (irony here because Bolivia have no sea) if has not a proper training.
My remark (Britonwannabe) was for the “US Marine” the “Aglo centric” aka “Rambo on steroids” that wanted to kill me when he would be coming to Argentina.
That was before but now seems he has desisted.

What a lot of nonsense!
The facts are that the British have a fearsome, efficient and globally respected war machine with some of the best trained troops in the world.
This is achieved without conscription or National Service.
Argentina's military are a laughing stock by comparison.
your reply

What you ACTUALLY said was that untrained Argentine conscripts sank half the RN's ships and killed 300 of our “supermen”soldiers.
This is blatantly untrue as it was your AIR FORCE that did the damage to British forces.....they were not untrained conscripts .
Would you care to withdraw your untrue remark ?
