    Can you imagine a RN nuclear powered sub surfacing in close proximity to this jigger, I think they would shit themselves.

    Must be a North-American or English pirate spy ship. 5 Eyes always trying to divide your opponents!

    The South Americans should not fall into this trap.

    Must be a national trait, blaming others for their misfortunes.

    One day they might be able to use a Chinese built and supplied 'Malvinas' patrol boat to chase down illegal Chinese poachers. Would they dare?

    I wonder if they tried hailing them in Chinese?

    Jibber-jabber wouldn't cut it.

    Why didn't the argie fire on it? OH NO! They don't have any ammunition for any caliber gun!

    As for Uruguay, the little 'sloop' sized vessels they have are probably half the size of the jigger and of course would be captained by a Broad Fraud political placement aka as a coward.

    A fucking Chinese jigger running two LatAm countries in circles FFS!

    For those thinking it can't happen in neighbouring fishing zones, they may want to read todays Penguin News about trawler companies lying about their catches....

    Any of our Argentine posters know if the P-18 Falklands class Corvets were ordered or not?

    The main power plants are 2 German Diesel engine made but MTU a subsidiary of Rolls Royce.

    If they are to be called the Malvinas class as reported maybe we should refuse to supply the motors.

    @ 9

    No further knowledge beyond what was already posted, the topic was not extensively covered, and so far the new gov has not made significant announcements on defense :p

    I´ll check some local forums, maybe some folks there have a word on that topic.

    @11 “disband the armed forces, go Costa Rica..”

    If you've ever dealt with the children that work in the “security” forces in Costa Rica, you'd wish they had a properly disciplined and trained professional military instead.

    Your stupidity never ceases to surprise us.........besides your being wrong, once again, might do you some good to rethink your blind support of the Chinks......they will stop at nothing to get what they need, and after Brazil has fallen into their trap, don't think that they will give a damn about you.

    They need to compile a video of the two Argentine ships chasing the Chinese ship then add the helicopter then add the Uruguayan aircraft and ship all set to the Benny Hill music. :-D

    The use of spy trawlers etc is a bit old hat.
    satelites are a rather more modern method.Also a submarine with an ESM mast.

    GCHQ can spy on communications without anyone leaving the country.

    We, True Americans, prefer thousand Chinese boats in our waters that an English raft.

    Get out, England!

    Argentina was finally able to corral the Chinese fishing boat after committing its entire surface fleet and enlisting the timely support of the Bolivian deep-water Navy.
