    Are they planning to “militarize the South Atlantic Peace and Cooperation Zone”? As they describe the BFSAI presence in the Falklands.

    They don`t need Jet Fighters as the UK is providing air cover plus Brazil & Chile, so Argentina save breaking into your Piggy Bank and save those Peso`s.

    What a disgusting propaganda tool MercoPress is! Let's examine this sentence: “... the Argentine Air Force attempt to begin recovering its once might which succumbed during the Falkland Islands conflict and with obsolescence.
    REALLY? with ”obsolescence“.
    The British arms embargo 40 years after Argentina demonstrats no military hypothesis or moves towards shoring up its capacity specifically towards the conflict on the islands, or even trains its soldiers to fight on the islands, is done because it is Britain THAT NEEDS for its military industrial complex to keep working for its economy and thus maintains this fictitious and complete fabricated by its own imagination ”potential war hypotheses over the islands once again“ While it maintains a ridiculously disproportional and unnecessary ”just in case military base” never shy with slanderous lying of stating to the world that Buenos Aires is the reason for it. Both these things are clearly done so as to entice potential investors in their occupied islands with a sense of safety and continuity. Additionally Britain uses antagonism and insult to create an environment of offense in its targeted adversaries it seeks to exploit. In fact Britain like the United States uses confrontation and war hypotheses to find paths through which to thrive on. No two countries are keeping the world furthest away from peace and international congeniality than these two countries have in all of world history.
