	Argentine Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Argentine Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Argentina or FAA) is the national aviation branch of the armed forces of Argentina.
		The primary concerns of the Air Force nowadays are the establishment of a radar network for control of the country's airspace, the replacement of its older combat aircraft (Mirage III, Mirage V) and the incorporation of new technologies.
		The Argentine Air Force is one of the three branches of the Argentine military, having equal status with the Army and the Navy.

	Why Australia Needs an Airborne Early Warning Capability
		The AAF knew of the Sea Dart's capabilities, the missile was ineffective at low altitudes below the horizon of the shipboard radar which provided illumination for the missile's guidance.
		Argentine tactics were simple - fly very low below radar while approaching the islands, at closer range the A-4s and Mirages exploited the cover provided by the land mass of West Falkland to sneak in close and surprise the British vessels.
		AAF aircraft repeatedly accessed Port Stanley under the cover of darkness, penetrating below the radar of the destroyers shelling coastal positions and avoiding the feared Harriers, which lacked the ability to detect low flying intruders at night.

	A-4C Argentine Skyhawk by Jorge Figari
		As the aircraft were destined to the Fourth Air Brigade (IV Brigada Aérea) located near the Andes Mountains in the province of Mendoza, a very interesting camouflage of GREEN and OFF-WHITE was specified for the upper surfaces.
		Argentine A-4C Skyhawks always wore the national flag on the tail and the roundel on the fuselage sides, but not on the wings to my knowledge.
		Shortly after the war the A-4Cs were transferred to the fifth Air Brigade at Coronel Pringles Air Base in the province of San Luis with the A-4Bs, and acquired the badge of Fifth Fighter Group too.

		There is a consensus today that the effectiveness of the Air Force can be attributed in large part to Creech’s foresight in procurement and tactics and to his thoughtful selection of aggressive young commanders to follow in his footsteps.

		It was determined that the cause of these duds was due to the fact that the strike craft flew so very low (as close as fifteen feet from the wave tops) that their bombs didn't have a chance to arm themselves in the brief fall from the aircraft to their targets.
		The Air-to Air combat award goes to the thirty-six British Harriers deployed with the task force.

		This strategy, of course, is completely at variance with the real Argentine strategy (which was to run away from the 200-mile Exclusion Zone, whine and complain when the General Belgrano was sunk, and cower in Argentine ports till the war was over).
		Turn 7: Argies again use their total air superiority to slightly damage the British, but the losses on the ground are equal and the British have a bigger stack.
		The Argentine Air Force succeeds in blowing up that last British unit in the Falklands, and the Argentine Army reconquers Lafonia, the last piece of British-owned real estate in the islands.
