Behold our newest acquisitions, four fucking 30 years old "warning" Russian ships with polar capacity...
As explained in a statement from Defence, those units that have been called:
>ARA "Estrecho de San Carlos,"
>ARA "Puerto Argentino"
>ARA "Islas Malvinas"
>ARA "Bahía Agradable"
PS: the names are Malvinas locations..
ARA "Alberto Barbosa"

what a well though purchase, they are probably very worth the money you put into them

why the fuck does peru buy better ships than fucking argentina, what the fuck is wrong with your country
>>51849384
It's one thing to be buttthurt, but to be butthurt publicly like this is a little sad. It just shows how much fervor you have and how powerless you are.
>>51849668
You can have some of our ships.
AND NOW DO IT
>>51849668
That's okay. We barely have any ships.
>>51849384
You should feel happy that your tax money isn't wasted on useless shit
>>51849499

Trolling aside, they are for search and rescue, surely to supply our Antarctic stations..

are you the dude that lives here or just a tourist ? I remember some native who posted pics from one of the non touristic islands last year, it was beautiful but clearly less supplied than Malé

Why is your military brass so openly butthurt about it? Calling them that only makes you look like retarded faggots in front of the entire world.

Maybe we are..
>>51850668
Is not our military brass, is our retarded government.
Today our retarded president got mad at our scientists because she wanted our Tronador rocket be launched today without testing before she left the presidency..

Since they banned american tourists they stopped sinking

......you gave us Gibraltar
How do you go from this....
>>51854125
>>51854125
... To this?
Apart from the dodgy names this deal is alright, they're meant to be transport ships
http://www.janes.com/article/56495/argentina-receives-four-russian-transport-ships
$8.2 million for four of them is pretty good if they work. I mean they're just transport ships. As long as they move shit around and don't sink who cares.
Can't wait for the bitch to leave though. Based Marci will make things better.
>>51854125
Argentina is seriously a lost cause. They have gone from being one of the most wealthiest countries in the fucking world to this. They could literally have an Switzerland level of life right now.

Doesn't tronar mean to fart? The missile is called farter?
>>51855915
What the hell happened? ;_;
>>51851295
Wasn't the retarded government that invaded the Malvinas right wing?
>>51858592
Actually the right wing gov took over in the 60's.
>>51849384
I really don't get how you can ironically be butthurt to no end about the Island. The whole Top Gear debacle was so fucking sad too.
Sure, I get that you might feel some resentment but apparently these Islands literally makes Argentinians furious which is just so sad, as you as an average citizen would have so much to gain if Argentina had a bit more land.
>>51859837
That government was a US-supported military Junta, neither right nor left.
>>51859691
Tronar -> trueno = thunder
>>51859691
Also, is not a missile, is for low orbit satellites..

>>51849384
How could Argentina, a once rich and prestigious nation, go to this? Buying 1980's Soviet-Era ships with little to no armaments on them? What the fuck?
>>51849384
Are you guys ever going to grow up and stop pissing off the US and UK?
Not being a dick but this shit is just getting sad at this point. Argentina usrd to be a respected country onces upon a time.
>>51862460
Most of South America wants us to fuck off desu
>>51862565
Then they shouldn't have put their countries on our hemisphere.
Time for them to grow the fuck up and stop acting like edgy Che fanboys.
I wonder what Argentina would do if we gave them one of these for free under the exclusive condition that they have to use it in their own Navy and cannot sell it to a foreign nation.
Could they actually figure out how to use it in war?
Would they even be capable of sailing it?
>>51862715
>Would they even be capable of sailing it?
Literally no.
I can't imagine how dumb you must be to entertain the thought otherwise.
It would be like giving a hamster a rubics cube.
>>51849851
Too much "social justice" = low budget
>>51849764
It didn't engage any battle though the navy kept all the warships inside the port
>>51851865
Actually there are 68 argentine citizens living in the islands
>>51862349
>>51851534
>>51852274
These are transport ships for the Argentine Antarctica.
>>51859691
Tronador means "deafening"
>>51862715
What's that?
>>51862907
>What's that?
10/10 reply
>>51862715
>>51862766
They could probably move it in a literal sense. They've never dealt with those sort of radar systems or weapons before though. And the operating costs would probably eat their entire Navy's budget.
>>51862907
>What's that?
A new destroyer for the USN. It costs 4 fucking billion dollars.
(Argentina's entire military budget is 5 billion)
>>51862715
/k/ here. At the moment DDG-100 is undergoing testing, outfitting, and trials with a cooperative crew of navy sailors and the shipbuilders who constructed it. They are literally figuring out how best to operate it, and what the capabilities truly are, because it is the first ship in its class and it has a lot of technology that make it unique from other warships- namely, the all-electric drive, the AN/SPY-3 radar, the SDS, and the automated fire suppression and damage control.
to:dr they haven't finished writing the owners manual yet, so that's not exactly a fair comparison.
>>51863011

It's actually an 1800s-era hull design if you can believe it (it was in use for hundreds of years before that, but no one has built military ships this way since the 1800s). Turns out the design is great for reducing RCS. Who knew?

Man, wish we would build more of these. Burkes are nice, but still.
Malvinas propaganda thread?
>>51863852
never forget ;_;
>>51863679
The idea is that the zumwalt is analogous to the seawolf- a technology demonstrator that lead to the Virginia class attack submarine. So we'll have just three zumwalts, but the ship that comes after will use lessons learned about operation and construction, and we'll have a lower-cost ship with tested technology.
>>51858592

>>51859922
not at all
>>51865312
It's not like either the Zumwalt's or Seawolf's numbers were on purpose. The Navy wanted more of both, once upon a time.

>>51851295
Why are you wasting money on rockets in the first place? It's just retarded.
Why is Argentina obsessed with taking cold, useless territory, when they could instead focus on improving their country with the beneficial resources and geographic location they have? It should have a high HDI, and be competitive in the global economy, yet instead it has a bunch of people bitching about some island with a bunch of farmers and some territory nearly completely covered in ice.
>>51866598
The Falklands is a distraction the government uses to get people to forget how bad they're fucking up.running the joint.
>>51849456
Kill yourself
>>51866598
i dont think you know how much oil the falklands is sitting on. a guy i know is in the oil industry and reckons its going to be one of the biggest areas of oil drilling in the near future
>>51849384
Sad, with this state is hard to find a reason for strong military system here, at least Peru always troll us so for a moment is ok.
>>51866598
Most of the traffic happens in the pacific ocean Bill, which they can not touch.
Besides, the minute they start getting really competitive, they are going to get keked by the huebros.
Get real.
>>51866651
>reckons
Let me know when somebody actually finds significant oil reserves that would be meaningful to Argentina. I don't think you have any idea how much oil they're sitting on, either. Unless somebody's producing significant amounts to the point that the recent major drop in oil prices doesn't completely negate its profitability, I don't really see the point in fighting for it from Argentina's standpoint.

You know, you can have other countries challenging you, and still have that be beneficial. Not that Brazil is in very good condition right now, either. I mean they could more become a big hub for trade between South American countries. They don't have to be completely dominant, but they have potentially strong partners there if they work with them, and those partners don't collapse.
Why ask France or any other country (except UK) to build some for you?
>>51867216
The only real partner they can have is us, and it would be to get to touch the pacific ocean, and to rebuilt trust they need to do a lot more than get Macri elected.
And don't get confused by int memes, Brazil is a huge bully when it comes to someone challenging them, and they have the muscle. If Argentina joints Brazil in any project, it will be for Brazil's benefict.
>>51866165
Yeah. It's like making health insurance claims- ask for 50k and if they pay you 12k you consider it a mission accomplished.
>>51862971
>>51863011
Well it looks cool but we don't need an army right now
>>51866563
Argentina is one of the nine countries that produces satellites and it's willing to sell these to other countries of the region but we need a rocket launching facility, that's why the government created Tronador II.
Tronador I was a military rocket facility that was dismantled by orders of the USA during the 90s.
On the other hand, other countries must anually hire these satellites in order to have them and it is really expensive, not to mention that we have the best nuclear and spatial technology of the region.
>>51866598
But we've a high HDI and no, we won't be a major economy because we barely have industries, 60% of Argentina's economy relies on agricultural commodities
and the region isn't really favourable for us
>>51866919
You have a reason to have an army. During the 70s your country didn't have one and the argentine de facto government threatened to invade your country so it's ok
>>51867375
Low military budget

There is some industry, but yes the economy is quite heavily centered on agriculture and raw materials.
