Stop reading non-sense. Venezuela does not have any MiGs in their inventory. Neither do they have Russian anti-ship cruise missiles.

The 'super camberras' you are talking about are actually Super Etendard. The Super Etendard is a French design. The Canberra was a UK supplied light bomber. The Exocets fired by the Super Etendards did not kill 'hundreds' of British Marines. Neither did Argentina fly their aircraft to Venezeula. The Exocets for the Argentine Super Etendards were supplied direct from France before the conflict. The Argentines only had 5 Exocets supplied from France. The French technicians left Argentina upon commencement of hostiliites leaving the Argentines the integrate the Exocets onto the Super Etendards.

these pictures were taken in2001. at the Libertador Airbase in Venezuela. Also regarding the conflict in agergentina it is a Known Fact that the Argentinian pilots Flight route was to fly north to venezuela refuel and arm, and them fly out to the atlantic then to fly south to hit their targets. THis is Copied portion of an article( http://ahoy.tk-jk.net/macslog/FalklandIslandsWar1982.html): Losses. HMS Ardent mortally damaged, with 22 killed and another 30 wounded In addition to the two British ships already mentioned, two frigates, Antelope and Ardent, were sunk by bombs, and the destroyer Coventry suffered the same fate. Another 5 British warships were also severely damaged. About 28 British aircraft were lost including Wessex and Sea King helicopters, and Harrier jump jets. The losses of personnel on the British side ran to about 1,000. One needs to ask, Were such losses justified to regain some remote South Atlantic Islands, or was it all about PRIDE?
