No I dont use a translater, I just plainly dont get it…But you know, in different places of the world, theres different cultures/customs, and they produce jokes, for themselves, not for foriegners to understand. So there must be something British that I dont get… Any help?

All he could see was a white square, so he asked if it was a picture of an Argentinian soldier hiding behind a (white) polar bear in a (white) snow storm on a (white) glacier

i previous posted about the argentinian army during 1938,they had the helmet m-18

photo:argentinian cavalry.

we had other uniforms,and now,im going to talk about the other old helmet.

the paratroopers helmet M-I (from argentina):

and the m1 for army:


argentinian veteran from falklands with that helmet:

and in 1970:

The argentinian army is considered a normal army,of a country of south america.
But you will find a PROFFESSIONAL ARMY,difference with the conscription in the 82 and other years,with experience,in peace missions (like haiti) and you will find the best pilots in the World!.But,it´s very small,it hasn´t a good number of money,and,the people is against the army nowadays,(WHEN YOU SEE DOCUMENTS ABOUT THE DISSAPEAREDS,YOU THINK THE MILITARY WAS ONLY KILLING CIVILIANS,BUT THE PEOPLE WANTED THEM TO CONTROL THE SECURITY,BECAUSE,OUTSIDE,THE THINGS WEREN´T GOOD,AND THE GUERRILLEROS WERE FUCKING TERRORISTS,WHO KILLED CIVILIANS WITH BOMBS,COWARDS!)note that we always tried to research weapons,misiles and other stuff about military,but USA blocked us in various chases,Im going to give an example now:

                        THE CONDOR

The “Dirección General de Desarrollos Espaciales” was the organization depending of “Fuerza Aérea Argentina” in charge of developing the CONDOR PROJECT.

Technical Data of The Condor I:

Aproximate length: 8 m.
Fuselage maximum diameter: 0,80 m.
Phases: One
Fuel: solid, made up of HTPB compounds (Hydoxil Terminated Poly Butadiene, the same one used in the boosters of the Thiokol of the Space Shuttle).- This fuel was manufactured at the Falda del Carmen plant.
Fixed canon, made of compound materials (probably molybdenum epoxy-trioxide resine).
Ogive made of epoxy resine.-
Gear system: inercial-aerodinamic, by means of flaps or dependant on the launching angle flight. It did not have any intelligent gear system.

The Condor I was meant for developing a rocket engine and to probably use this rocket for future atmospheric research, with a peak of 300 Km and a pay load of about 400-500 Kg.

The first static tests of the engine were carried out apparently in the mid 1983’s and it was planned to launch the first Condor I towards the late 1985, this never took place.

Details of The Alacran (Condor I-A III):

The second phase of this project consisted of the development of the Condor II, but in order to be able to test the technology in flight they developed the Alacran (its code number was: Condor IA-III). It had a length of 6,50 m. And a diameter of 0,56 m. This vector could carry a load of 250 kg., and would reach 115 Km.- The ogive of Alacran made of compound materials could carry a war head made up of a cluster bomb, which had 1000 grenades CAM-1, with a dispersal spoke of 2 blocks of houses.

This missile used the same fuel and had the same building characteristics as the Condor I, but actually it was an artillery tactic missile, of the chilenean RAYO, though more powerful and with greater reach. The Alacran was shot several times since 1988, including once by the former President Carlos Menem in The Chamical, La Rioja; it was even tested as a head of war with an ogive carrying submunitios.

In an article issued in the Air and Space magazine “Aeroespacio”, jan-feb 1990, that dealt about Fuerza Aérea and about the weapon systems that were being tested at the time, it mentions the Alacran’s compound-material ogive and of the head of war made up of a cluster bomb inserted in the ogive which carried 1000 grenades type CAM-1 . In the text it explains that the earth to earth rocket VT-561 (ex ALACRAN) was being introduced under the project name FAS-320.

It specifies that the full weight is 1532 Kg, with a 400 Kg load capacity and that at the end of combustion weighs 788 Kg (that means that it carried 744 Kg of propellant) and that it has a horizontal reach 120 with a peak of 40 Km.

Technical Data of Condor II:

CONDOR II, was a two phase vehicle, with a thrust vector control system that worked through levelling canon in each phase, aerodynamic areas to control the rolling in each phase, as web. A cold gas sensor package to control the altitude and a final speed control system. This is all controlled through connected-integrated computers.

The complete height of the rocket would be of 16 m. with a diameter of 0.80 m. The pay load would be of 500 Kg and a 1000 Km reach was predicted.

Although this was the military version of Condor II, it also was planned to make a modified version to orbit stall satellites adding another rocket in the third phase.

Apparently other examples of Condor II were completed, but were never tested in flight.

One reason for cancelling this project was a budget one, and it came to an end due to international pressure.

An important part (not all) of the equipment for developing the rocket was disassembled and sent to USA to be destroyed in 1993, in accordance to the agreements signed between both governments at that time.

Since then up to now adays there haven’t been any other official projects related to the development of rockets in Argentina. So all the technological achievements for peaceful projects has been wasted.

Anyway, this site http://www.saorbats.com.ar/saorbats_frameset.htm have a lot of pics about South American armies (including Chile, Erwin!)

As Dani showed, the page SAORBATS is one of the best argentine military pages. You can find a lot of oficial information there.
