UK reviews Falklands defence as Russia offers Su-24s to Argentina

[damiendehorn]

SU-24...lol...Russian atempt to troll Britain....Putin needs to give the argies a couple of PAKFA first.

Those SU-24's are no match for EFT's. Moreover the Falklanders prefer to be British citizens.

Keep dreaming, Falklands will remain British. Britain may be cutting down its armed forces due to budget constraints but the armed forces are still pretty decent in modern standards. I'm sorry to disappoint, but there's nothing Argentina can do about it apart from making a few headlines.

And those who are saying the Falk landers are colonialists from Britain. Well ok, but the Argentinians themselves are not natives are they? These claims mean nothing, it's the power to project and enhance your claim that counts. I just don't see Argentina acquiring the capabilities to oust Britain from the Islands any time soon.

China will offer Argentina J-31 stealth fighter too! First Argentina, then the Ireland and Scotland will be armed by China!

Although I dislike China, but I have to agree that China is the only country fighting White supremacism.

British are pragmatic people. I am sure there will be a deal with argentina one day. (revenue share in return for british soverignty).

I doubt this is a realistic possibility. There's no reason the UK would fall back from its well defined positions supported by international law just so its relations with Argentina improve. It'd really set an awful precedent. "Be violent, shout loud enough and then you'll be heard".

Su-24 is is old bomber now being replaced by Su-34. No real threat to Falklands.

 

[Basel]

Su-24 is no good against RAF even if they arrive late, its an obsolete system in today's warfare and Argentina can't afford upgrading it, because if they could then they should have purchased on of these from Russia (Mig-35, Su-30M2, Su-34, Su-35)

 

[boomslang]

Argentina is in no position to take ANYTHING. SU-24's ? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!

I think in order to keep Britain's own defence right, UK must exit NATO. It will save them a huge chunk of financial commitment to the alliance.
