>Argentinian C-130 came from Israel carrying HERO 30/120 Kamikaze drones, 105mm munitons and eletronics for modernizing their TAM tank to TAM2CA2.
>During taxing at the Brazilian Air Base for a checkpoint, the plane's frontal gear collapsed.
Should had bought C-390's like they had signed for it years ago.
what I'm hearing is
the front fell off?
That's not very typical I'd like to make that point
Embraer planes crash too, look at Prigozhin's jet.
Priggo's Legacy had a bomb planted tho.
You shouldn't fall for conspiracy theories, anon.
Well it was either a AA or bomb.
How does Argentina afford to fix it?
daddy lula will pay for it like he paid for all our new IFVs
That deal was dropped months ago.
>third worlder maintenance results in a mishap
>somehow this is the plane's fault
Plane was modernized not even 10 years ago.
ESL or moron that doesn't understand the concept of maintenance?
Anon, planes need maintenance more often than every once in a decade.
No señor
They should seize all that equipment, or they should send the SAS to blow it up in a covert op
The endless argentinian clownshow is so tiresome.
>t. uruguayan
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Seriously though in the early 20th century the Argies were primed for greatness, how’d they drop the ball so hard? That dreadnought race couldn’t have messed them up so bad right?
A tiny war in 1982...

They weren't doing so hot even before that. The whole reason they tried going after the Falklands was because shit was going belly-up at home and they needed a win to keep people in line, and figured that the Brits wouldn't bother to defend a collection of wind-swept rocks in the middle of nowhere.
Thatcher made it so obviously clear that we couldn't give a shit about the Falklands in the leading couple of years.
You may argue they chanced their arm.
Peron.They fell for the "father of the poor" meme and kept reelecting that retard and his even dumber followers.
Don't worry, our next VP is a woman with ties to the military junta, her father was literally jailed for killing communists.
Does that mean Milei is winning?
I feel like Argentina was fucked from the beginning first with the colonizing Spanish then with the Italian immigrants the Germans came too late to really do anything significant
>how’d they drop the ball so hard?
The argentinian main powerful families that controlled the country refused to industrialize the country and tried to keep meat and other food stuff as the basis of their economy to keep themselves in control.
Then the Great Depression happened and all went to shit. Add to it the (real, not memes) worst traits of spaniards, italians, french and germanic/nordic types, and you have a never ending history of failure.
See above. There's a reason almost all other latin american countries look down on argentinians, even the poorest ones in central america.
Having interacted at length with an argie from an upper middle class family, the apathy for his own country is very palpable. Then again this particular lad was just waiting for one of his e-bfs to hand him a greencard and pay for him to come to america after flunking out of college twice.
That's pretty much every LATAM elite.
They don't give a fuck about the country because they don't see themselves part of it, but European/North American that holds power in the country.
That's why they cannot develop and why left-wing politicians get popularity, they use them as a scapegoat.
>how’d they drop the ball so hard?
Panama canal destroyed our validity as a port, green revolution and the commonwealth destroyed our meats' value, then all industry started moving to asia so we spent 40 years destroying the economy to protect our dying industry
Oh and universal pensions plus an aging population eat like 70% of our state budget.
The only ones that destroyed Argentina's meat industry were the Argentinians. 20 years ago it was considered absolute prime stuff and highly in demand.
These days I can obtain comparable quality from most EU countries at a fraction of the cost.
Wasting opportunities is Argentina's specialty.
>t. argie
Face down, ass up.
Isn't Argentina bankrupt and collapsing? What do they need a military for at all let alone kamakazii drones and heavy artillery.
To retake Malvinas, duh
Special operations are in season now
>Isn't Argentina bankrupt and collapsing?
>What do they need a military for at all let alone kamakazii drones and heavy artillery
Read both sentences separately and then think again, and let the sudden realization come alone.
Implying they'd need it to maintain control domestically? Those aren't the weapons you'd need for that.
>Those aren't the weapons you'd need for that.
Do insurgents look like the kind of people that can down a C-130 in the air? As long as you have something that the other can only but seethe about it is useful.
>Do insurgents look like the kind of people that can down a C-130 in the air?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gardel
Yes.
>The plan was to set off an explosive charge in the form of a conical tip placed below the runway when the C-130 was to be at full throttle during takeoff.
>In the air
If you can't do force protection I believe you have bigger problems.
Technically insurgents brought down a C-130, you are full of shit and changing the point.
>In the air
Even Afghans managed to down IL76s
>What do they need a military for at all let alone kamakazii drones and heavy artillery.
the the navy and army general corps need new surplus to pay for the 18yo female escorts they picked off recruitment
t. knower
Why wouldn't they buy picrel?
Huh?
Let me see your "hands", hue.
>comparing two planes that aren't even the same class
>implying Argentina could afford a single A400M
Hmm indeed you are retarded.
Wat? Even my cuntry can afford a few.
You underestimate how bad Argentina's economy is.
Argentina can't even afford Chinese planes.
medium vs light transport
Bong here - even if they could afford it, we wouldn't let them buy it.
Aren't they about to buy F-16's?
that'll buff right out
nothing a little speed tape can't fix
Super-Bonder and it's good to go.
The Falklands are whatever they choose to be, and they choose to be British.
>Argentina is a major partner in the C-390 program
>builds parts of the fuselage and wings
>when the time came to sign the contract they backed off and decided to modernize 50yo airframes
>now this
They deserve all the shit they get, Slavs and Argentina are literal proof that being white doesn't mean being smart.
I think an MFD is from bongland, so technically the embargo affects them
>60yo boomers who never left the isle decide to be bri'ish
I pity them, imagine if they knew the current state of Londonistan, what's sadder is that the kelpers themselves are being replaced by latinos and philipinos.
I don't think the sale would be blocked still, specially now that they're about to fall fully into Chinese influece, the US would probably twist UK's arm to allow the sale if they ever considered a block.
>The safety cones
lol
Glad they added those or someone would've crashed into it
Retarded monkeys you have to do "maintenance"
google that word
no wonder you bloodthirsty retards lost falklands
First Hungarian C390 nearly ready.
Brazil's news says that the Army will buy 12 Black Hawks, first deliveries in 2025.
Fat bitch.
yo mama
if argentina can afford a c130 could PrepHole?
How much does a cell cost?
