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?

MiG-29M2 MRCA SERIAL 154 visited Venezuela during 2001. It demonstrated to the Venezuealan Air Force and returned to Russia the same way it came in an AN-124. You are talking absolute non-sense. Russia had not sold any MiGs or Sukhois to Venezueala - no deal has been struck since the MiG-29 demonstrator displayed in Venezuela.

The aircraft that you have show on this thread is the MRCA demonstrator 154. Would you care to explain how this very aircraft is still on MiGs inventory. Here is the very same aircraft pictured in Russian in 2004:

Here is 154 in its new livery during 2005: Individuals like yourself are naive enough to believe the idiotic rumours that abound. In reality to date Venezuela has no MiGs in its inventory.

LOL. You are talking complete non-sense. Neither the Argentine Air Force or Naval aircraft operated out of Venezuela on any of their missions. Take a look at a map for crying out loud! Please go to the Fuerza Aerea Argentina website. Would you care to contact them and tell them all about their flights to Venezuela before flying to the Falklands? Again take a look at a map before posting non-sense such as this.

Copy and paste the link. You really need to to some serious research into this subject.

The total losses on both sides exceeded 1,000. What you have done is confused the losses of both the UK and Argentina. 252 UK Servicemen died during the conflict, not 1,000. Argentina lost 952 dead. Argentine President Carlos Menem laid a wreath in memory of the dead of the war in London in 1998.

Copy and paste the link:
