I dont know if they'll make a move. Hopefully not. My main point is if they do, they UK isnt prepared. So the UK should prepare. Yes, they can make that many drones. ARG is far more wealthy and industrialized than Iran. They could produce hundreds per month at a minimum. Israel is 400 miles from Iran and still subject to drone attacks.

The UK was extremely concerned in 2024 over the Argentinian purchasing of F-16s from Denmark but was assured not to worry by the US at the time-Telegraph

@droppingwell1 @callum_rainford @WarMonitor3 How big is the US navy? Have they opened the strait of Hormuz? Those 15-20 UK ships have to cover all British territory, not just the Falklands. At least a third of them are currently in refit (inactive). Mine sweepers arent going to help you in the South Atlantic.

@tomie168 @ianmiles Yet their last referendum on this issue was 98% to stay British. There was no native islanders there when the British arrived and Argentina wasn't even a country.

LAS MALVINAS FUERON, SON Y SIEMPRE SERÁN ARGENTINAS. VLLC!
Pablo Quirno@pabloquirno

Ante las recientes declaraciones públicas de altos funcionarios del Gobierno del Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte respecto de la soberanía sobre las Islas Malvinas, la Argentina reafirma sus derechos soberanos sobre las Islas Malvinas, Georgias del Sur y Sandwich del Sur y los espacios marítimos circundantes. La ocupación de 1833 fue un acto de fuerza contrario al derecho internacional de la época que vulneró nuestra integridad territorial y dio inicio a una situación colonial que persiste. La Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas reconoció mediante la Resolución 2065 (XX) la existencia de una disputa de soberanía e instó a la Argentina y al Reino Unido a resolverla por la vía de las negociaciones bilaterales. Este llamado ha sido reiterado por numerosos pronunciamientos bilaterales y multilaterales, entre los que se destacan el Comité Especial de Descolonización de las Naciones Unidas (C24), la Organización de los Estados Americanos (OEA), el Mercado Común del Sur (MERCOSUR) y sus Estados Asociados, la Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribeños (CELAC), los países miembros del Consenso de Brasilia y del Grupo de los 77 y China. Rechazamos la invocación británica del principio de libre determinación de los pueblos. Los actuales habitantes de las Islas Malvinas no han sido nunca reconocidos como un "pueblo" por las Naciones Unidas. No resulta aceptable que los habitantes de las islas se conviertan en árbitros de una disputa territorial en la que su propio país, como población implantada, es parte. Por ello tampoco tiene validez el pretendido “referéndum” de 2013. Denunciamos además las actividades ilegales de exploración y explotación de recursos naturales -tanto renovables como no renovables-, en particular la pretendida “Decisión Final de Inversión” anunciada por las ilegítimas licenciatarias Rockhopper Exploration Plc y Navitas Petroleum Lp, para el desarrollo del yacimiento “Sea Lion”, que buscan desconocer los derechos soberanos argentinos y violan resoluciones de las Naciones Unidas. Por todos los elementos señalados, la República Argentina manifiesta, una vez más, su disposición a reanudar las negociaciones bilaterales con el Reino Unido que permitan encontrar una solución pacífica y definitiva a la disputa de soberanía y dar fin a la situación colonial especial y particular en las que están inmersas y agradece a toda la comunidad internacional el apoyo recibido a los derechos soberanos argentinos sobre las Islas Malvinas, Georgias del Sur y Sandwich del Sur y los espacios marítimos circundantes. Por historia, por derecho y por convicción: las Malvinas son argentinas.

@Coriolanus9000 @WarMonitor3 They arent talking, the US have raised this. The Argentine president knows he couldn't take them never mind hold them. The Falklands are over 300 miles from Argentina do they have that many medium/long range drones?

I'm not saying the British garrison is nothing, British troops are great. But the Argentines are definitely tempted, otherwise they wouldnt be talking. A dedicated drone campaign by ARG, like in Ukraine or Hormuz, would exhaust the entire British AA stockpile in weeks. It would exhaust the local garrison stockpile in days. The position is not at all viable with current UK readiness rates.

@droppingwell1 @Coriolanus9000 @WarMonitor3 Fact is there is still only 1 little ship protecting it, I dont know what Argentina has navy wise but Im sure its more than enough to overwhelm whats there and then we'd have to wait weeks for government meetings before we even think about sending more ships.

@Coriolanus9000 @WarMonitor3 The Argies arent tempted, they have said it would have to be diplomatic. The current garrison has AA & anti ship missiles and is backed by Typhoons. Argentina wouldn't be able to take them in the first place now. It would be a totally different war this time.

Love the UK. Don't support Argentina making moves, but we live in the real world. The idea that it is the USA's responsibility to protect British island holdings is absurd. No one other than the UK is stopping the UK from deploying a task force the Falklands to defend it. The only reason Argentina is feeling tempted to move is because the UK has no credible deterrence. They dont believe the UK is even capable of doing anything about it. Not because the have a handful of 20th century jets.

@tracks1982 @WarMonitor3 Yes of course but in a time of war they wouldn't be in for routine maintenance or fit outs. The UK subs would be hunting their Destroyers from day 1 and they would go the same was as their US made Cruiser did in 1982.

@Poison_tears91 @Madmechanic911 @Alexarmstrong It would be totally different and I dont like Starmer. This issue has arisen due to the US saying we have not helped on Iran despite 70% of your bomber force flying unrestricted from UK bases. So how have Argentina been helping the US in Iran to get this new support?

@Madmechanic911 @Alexarmstrong You’d think that but yet, a British ship was just fired on by Iran and he sat on his hands and British sovereign land was targeted by Iranian missiles and he also sat on his hands. So I’d be SHOCKED if that would be any different.

Read some history, they never were and never have been Argentinian. Not to mention that they never will be.

@souberious @Alexarmstrong There is a full garrison with AA and anti ship missiles backed up with Typhoons. We won't need to "get them back" as the Argies dont have enough to take them.

@ComputerSageJAB @LabourfutureUK This has been raised due to the UK apparently not helping the US in Iran, despite 70% of your Bomber force flying unrestricted from the UK so a genuine question. How has Argentina being helping in Iran to get this support?

@LabourfutureUK Russian troops died to get Crimea and donbass. Does that mean it is theirs or is it okay to let them vote for self-determination? The Falkland’s is an Argentinian and uk issue. Both are U.s. allies. Of course over time issues should be resolved-evaluated.

President Trump has threatened to review the United States position in relation to British sovereignty over the Falkland Islands. The Falklands are British. Troops died to keep them British against the Argentine. No US review will change anything. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

@Andrewgood32449 @WarMonitor3 But not as much as Argentina. This time there is a full garrison with AA and anti ship missiles and Typhoons already there. They wouldn't be able to take it in the first place.

Well. It’s a lot closer to the Falklands and its own logistics than the 8000 miles away Britain is. Britains aircraft carrier’s suffer propeller shaft failures causing break downs. And only one is operational at any given time. Britain only has 2 of 6 destroyers operational and one of those (HMS Duncan) can’t be sent into warm waters cause it suffers unreliable propulsion issues in hotter waters. Argentina has one more destroyer than Britain in operation and has 24 F-16 fighters So I give Argentina better than even money in a military conflict today. For sure.
