Currently thinking about making a good “qualified sources” list for LATAM mil information🧐




Hace pocos días, sistemas antidrones de las Fuerzas Militares detectaron en el Valle del Cauca una señal asociada a un presunto dron ruso tipo Orlan-10, una plataforma militar utilizada para inteligencia, vigilancia y guerra electrónica. 👇🏼👇🏼





📍Rio de Janeiro, #Brazil (🇧🇷) The @marmilbr & @USNavy (🇺🇸) held joint exercises as part of the #SouthernSeas2026 voyage of the Nimitz, Gridley, & Patuxent around South America. Brazil participated with frigate Defensora (F41), corvette Barroso (V34), & submarine Humaitá (S41).





📍Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, #UnitedStates (🇺🇸) @FuerzaAerea_Arg (🇦🇷) Chief of Staff, Brigadier Gustavo Valverde and his team were welcomed to @AFSOUTH headquarters for a joint meeting on command & space. They also visited the 162nd WG for focus on the FAA’s F-16 program.

📍#Argentina (🇦🇷) In a recent interview with @PucaraD, Chief of the General Staff of the @FuerzaAerea_Arg officially confirmed that the F-16s will in fact also replace the A-4AR. F-16s were purchased originally to replace the Mirage.


JIATFS & @DEAHQ identified a drug runner from Colombia, USS Billings secured the jettisoned cargo, & Dominican Republic forces interdicted the vessel. 326 kg of cocaine & 105 lbs. of marijuana off the streets- an international win! @USNavy @ArmadaRepDom @FuerzaAereaRD @Southcom











📍#Peru (🇵🇪) The @fapperu has officially gone forward with the purchase of an additional C-27J Spartan from @LDO_Aeronautics. The aircraft will be delivered in November 2027.

📍#Argentina (🇦🇷) @invapargentina delivered 2x RPA-200M air surveillance radars to the @Ejercito_Arg.
