Argentine Air Forces In The Falklands War
This article describes the composition and actions of the Argentine air forces in the Falklands War ( es, Guerra de las Malvinas), which comprised units of the Air Force, Army, Navy and other services. For a description of air forces of the United Kingdom, see British air services in the Falklands War. Background Despite initiating the war, Argentina had not prepared a plan for the subsequent defence of the islands. The military dictatorship that governed the country at the time regarded the seizure of the Falklands as a political act to obtain a diplomatic bargaining position, and not as an act of war. Consequently they were taken by surprise when the British responded with a large-scale mobilization, and a task force to retake the islands. The Argentine Air Force (''Fuerza Aérea Argentina''; FAA), which had never fought against an external enemy since its establishment in 1912, had never considered the possibility of waging a long-range naval air campaign against a majo ...
