Currently thinking about making a good “qualified sources” list for LATAM mil information🧐

🇦🇷🇩🇰 | Mientras esperamos el cruce del Atlántico de la segunda tanda de F-16 destinada a la Fuerza Aérea Argentina, actualmente demorado por factores climáticos, se conocieron nuevas imágenes desde Dinamarca. Antes de la partida de las aeronaves, el Embajador argentino, Julio César Mercado, estuvo presente en la Base Aérea de Skrydstrup, donde compartió el momento junto al personal argentino y danés involucrado en la operación. En las imágenes publicadas pudo observarse al F-16AM Fighting Falcon M-1016 (ex E-107), aeronave que habíamos mostrado días atrás, pero que finalmente no forma parte de esta segunda tanda. Actualmente, la segunda tanda de F-16AM/BM destinada a la Fuerza Aérea Argentina se encuentra en la Base Aérea de Gando, Islas Canarias, junto a los KC-135R de la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos, a la espera de condiciones meteorológicas adecuadas para iniciar el cruce transoceánico rumbo a su próxima escala logística en Natal, Brasil, para posteriormente continuar viaje hacia la Argentina. 💪🇦🇷✈️ Fotos: Embajada Argentina en Dinamarca @JMilei @TGCarlosPresti @EMCFFAA_Arg @MinDefensa_Ar @FuerzaAerea_Arg @pabloquirno @F16argentina @LockheedMartin @pldocmd @EmbajadaEEUUarg @forsvaretdk @jacktandil @Southcom #Argentina #FuerzaAereaArgentina #F16 #F16FightingFalcon #LockheedMartin

An under-recognized point is that much like their larger Guaiquerí cousins, the Guaicamacuto's have also had their Oerlikon Millennium 35mm replaced by ZSU-23-2. Photo from Sept. 12th off Nueva Esparta by Muted_Shape9303
Speaking of, had some excellent photos shared to me today by andrzej597 from Russian forums by user " "Гальванер1062" back on Dec. 5th 2025. Some of the best photos I've seen to date of the retired vessels + remains of GC-11 Almirante Clemente.
