Is it because the A-4Q has a shorter combat radius and the British aircraft carrier has not yet entered the strike range? Or is it because there has been no wind on the sea since the afternoon of May 1st? Or is it because the time is in the afternoon and close to evening, so it is difficult to...

Why Argentine aircraft carriers were unable to carry Super Etendard during the Falklands War? Some information claims that the ship only underwent relevant modifications after the war, including upgrading the catapult and inertial navigation system. The stern lift was welded. There is also...

Hello all I was looking around Secret Projects this morning and I realized that there is no thread dedicated to discussion of Argentine efforts to replace the TAM. I see one short post on the “South American Tanks” thread about the TAP, any additional information about this project would be...

What would have been the impact on the dogfights FAA vs Sea Harriers FRS.1 if Argentina had disposed MiG-21MF/bis & MiG-23MS/MF with R-13M/R-60 during the air war over Falklands. Shar vs MiG-21/ Shar vs MiG-23/ And also with other fighters. The purpose of this thread is not to engage in...

In 1953, the Argentine army evidenced a requirement for a rifles that would replace its Mauser mod. 1909-Hence DGFM built prototypes of the M1 Garand, the STG 43 and the Johnson rifle (the latter at the IAME) F Eventually, the FAL was selected in 1955, and license production began in 1959

In the immediate postwar years, the Argentine Army acquired 130 Crusader tractor Mk.2 chassis, which were converted into SPGs. There were 3 versions: one which mounted a Krupp 75mm L.30 75 mm cannon, one fitted with a Schneider 105 mm L.19,6 howitzer, and the 3rd. with a Bofors 75mm L.40 mod...

I have always assumed from the various books that I have read that the Argentine 25 DeMayo carrier would have had difficulty launching and recovering fully loaded A4 Skyhawks let alone the bigger and beavier Etendard. Even though the RN did not sink the carrier its SSN barrier ensured that she...

This month's 40th anniversary of the Falklands/Malvinas war does not happen because for some reason or another Argentina does not invade. The most noticable change would have been in the Royal Navy. HMS Invincible would have been sold, becoming HMAS Australia. HMS Hermes would have followed in...

the Falklands war occurred in 82 Ark Royal (or another ship of the same class?) was decommissioned in 79 What if they had opted to delay the decommissioning by a few years but then the Falkland war occurred anyways Would the Ark Royal have been sent? would it have contributed differently than...

It is one of the great what-ifs of recent history, what would have happened if Argentina had waited until John Nott's defence cuts had been implemented and invaded the Falklands in March 1983? With only Illustrious working up and Ark Royal still under construction, the Royal Navy had sold...

Hello I am from Argentina. Looking for information on Horten for my final aeronautical engineering work I found a lot of information about the IA-37 and the unknown cruise missile proposed by Horten in 1960 I wrote this article, which was translated into English in warisboring's web: La Bomba...

Do you guys know any other never-weres or proposed warships for the Argentinian Navy? I know only these so far: TR-1400 class Submarines from the 1980's San Luis class Destroyers of 1910 (British built, finished as Aetos class for Greece) Mendoza class Destroyers of 1910 (Finished as...

We have topics on several of the aircraft in this list, and attempts at identifying missing numbers in places, but no complete list in one single topic, so I thought this could be a good idea. Since it's the "Designations" section here, I'm only giving the basic info for identification purposes...

[PHOTO CREDIT: HISTORY WARS WEAPONS blog] I was doing a bit of research on another topic, and came across some info on the Argentian TAM (Tanque Argentino Mediano) medium tank, which got me to thinking. After they had sized the islands, how come the Junta didn't ship at least a few of those...

Could the IA-58 Pucará be classified as the last Torpedo Bomber, at least developmental wise, of the 20th Century? For those of you who are not familiar with it, AX-04 was a prototype of the IA 58 Pucará, modified during the Falklands War as part of a joint Air Force/Navy project hoping to...

Sometime in the 1980s, CITEFA began development on an eventual replacement for the Roland I surface to air missile which was the Argentine Army's main SAM system. The resulting Halcon (Hawk) was similar in shape to the Roland missile, but somewhat longer. According to Jane's, it had a 7-km...

On page 58 (page 69 of the PDF) of '"Fabrica Militar de Aviones, historias y testimonios", see here :- http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,211.msg86741.html#msg86741 there's a picture of a very Sherman like tank. As the picture caption is in spanish, another language that I...

Air International October 1983 Argentina defined requirements for a dual-role combat aircraft for the 90s. SAIA 90 (Sistema de Armas Integrado Argentino de la decada del 90), to be built in Argentina, for air/air and air/ground roles. Using (Dornier) technology acquired in IA-63 Pampa. License...

Hi folks I've reading about a number of non-built projects during the end of the 40's, the 50's and even the 60's, as IA-39 designed by Kurt Tank, IA-47, IA-48 a delta wing fighter, two projects called Pallavicino 1 and 2 for sure based on the Gloster Meteor, and others without number like the...
