Cool pics. Where does Argentina deploy their troops (if they deploy at all), just curious.

[madmike]

Any info about 602 company? Are they part of Army or Navy? And what about 601 company? What's the diffrence between these units?

You mean international peacekeeping operations or in the country? In external operations we have troops in Haití, Chipre, Kosovo and Bosnia.

yes, there´s quite much, what things would you like to know?
The company belongs to the army. 601 commando company would be 602´s sister, the training is quite similar in many aspects. Main differences: 601 is based in Buenos Aires, 602 in Cordoba. 601 trains more in terrains like the one of Buenos Aires, 602 trains a lot in desert terrains (as you can see in the pics). Anyway all special units of all the armed forces are prepared to fight in all terrains and climates of the country. Beside this, they can be considered "similiar".

[madmike]

yes, there´s quite much, what things would you like to know? Are these companies proffesional, or conscripts still serve there? Are there any other SF units in the Argentinian Army? And what about the Navy - i've seen some pictures of unit called "commandos anfibios"?

[IMARA]

entirely professional.
Of course there are other special units, you can look for the list in this forum, there you will find practically all the units.
Comandos Anfibios, from the Marines. Special unit of the navy. You can find pics and info of this unit also

[Tream]

Please, gimmie some info about Sterling MkV....
Never before heard about that (maybe because it's some kinda diving weapon, i don't like water :])

Thank You
Timon

In resumed words, it´s an SMG manufactured by the British Sterling, also known as L34A1. It has a sound supressor attached to it. Magazine is inserted from the left side.
Caliber: 9mm
Magazine capacity: 34 rounds
Effective range: 200 meters
Is extremely reliable, and is one of the favourite among divers and marine forces

It´s hard for me to say it, but honestly I think Britain would win again. Don´t be so impressed by some infantry pics, remember we don´t have a modern Air Force nor a modern Navy, among others lacks

Bahia Blanca, Argentina (Oct. 14, 2003) -- Sailors from South America and Spain get together to practice police apprehension techniques during a Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIO) training seminar conducted by members of the U.S. Coast Guard International Training Division. Sailors from six nations participated in this training evolution scheduled as part of UNITAS, hosted by Argentina. Sponsored by U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command, UNITAS is the largest multi-national maritime exercise in the western hemisphere. During UNITAS Atlantic phase, naval forces from Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Spain, Uruguay and the United States train together and develop interoperability in a high-tech environment. U.S.

¿Tienes fotos de los Buzos Tácticos?

Do you have pics of Buzo Tactico (Argentinian SEALs)?

Interestingly enough, I believe the Argentinian version of the FN FAL, having a folding stock, was very much appreciated among British forces in the Falklands/Malvinas. I heard some Brits replaced their SLRs for the Argentinian FALs.

Tengo entendido que la versión argentina del FN FAL, al tener culata plegable, era muy apreciada por los británicos en las Malvinas. Creo que algunos reemplazaron sus SLR por FAL argentinos.

Unlikely, I heard the condition of most of them was dire due to lack of proper care, and the ammo wasn't much cop either.

Good point. Maybe someone in the know can enlighten us in this issue.

The ammo in particular (as well as the magazines) wouldn't had been an issue, since they both fired the same cartridge (being the SLR the licensed British version of the FN FAL).

actually they are Spanish marines and not sailors

I was talking about the quality of the ammo.

I was talking about the quality of the ammo.

And I meant the Brits would still use their own ammo and magazines with the FALs.

Miguel Canarias, you are right. FM (fabricaciones militares) produced the FAL for more than a decade, in some variants. One of these variants was ONLY made in the world by FM in Argentina, the FAL PARA, for paratroopers and special forces. This was the rifle which the british looked for in Falklands, and which they prefered over their SRL. The condition of the FAL´s we used was perfect, mainly ´cause is an extremely reliable weapon. The quality of the ammo used by the british was at the same high of the one used by us, so much like this that lots of british infantry men (mostly paratroopers) changed their SRL by the FAL PARA if they find it, as they advanced towards Puerto Argentino, or Stanley called by the british, I think
Here you have a pic

Actually some of them did, mainly guys who had been armed with Sterlings. There is a group picture of 2 Para's medics in Mark Adkin's book Goose Green and all but one of them have binned their SMGs and are carrying Para FALs.
