Although this is nothing new, as the situation has been repeating itself since 2016, in the last 24 hours , a series of flights by a British military transport plane crossing sovereign Argentine territory have been documented with certainty . This fact once again heightens the controversy stemming from the impunity that Javier Milei's government grants the United Kingdom , not only in trade, finance, and investment matters, but also in allowing the usurper's fighter jets to operate without inconvenience and, worse still, without complaints or information to justify them.

It is an Airbus A400M Atlas of the British Royal Air Force (RAF), registered ZM418 , which has been tracked on several occasions flying from the Mount Pleasant military base in the Malvina Islands to neighboring countries.

Flightradar24 flight tracking platform records documented that the aircraft made the following flights :

Sunday, September 14: ZM418 flew from Mount Pleasant to Montevideo, Uruguay, a flight lasting approximately 3 hours and 23 minutes. That same day, the aircraft returned to the Malvinas, although there is no record of this final return flight.

Monday, September 15: The plane departed again from Mount Pleasant, this time bound for Santiago, Chile, on a 5-hour, 23-minute flight.

Wednesday, September 17: ZM418 completed its return trip, flying from Santiago, Chile back to Mount Pleasant base in a 5-hour flight.

Thus, the duration of these flights, especially those to Chile, indicates that the aircraft did not make a longer circuit south of Cape Horn to avoid Argentine airspace. On the contrary, the short duration of the flights indicates that the plane flew over Argentine mainland territory, either as far as Punta Arenas and from there to Santiago, or that it directly crossed Patagonia. In both cases, these are two operations that occurred without the Argentine Foreign Ministry or any government department issuing a public statement regarding whether special permits were granted for these military flights, or whether there was a greater violation of national airspace .

A Military Projection Pattern in the South Atlantic

These flights are part of a broader context of British military projection in the South Atlantic . Despite United Nations resolutions calling for a resolution to the sovereignty dispute with Argentina, London maintains a significant military presence in the Malvina Islands.

This is not the first incident of this type, and it likely won't be the last. In January of this year, another similar military aircraft, registered ZM421, caused alarm by coming dangerously close to commercial flights operated by Aerolíneas Argentinas and Flybondi connecting Buenos Aires with Ushuaia . At that moment, the military aircraft turned off its transponder, raising suspicions about its actual distance from the civilian aircraft.

Events of this nature raise serious questions about sovereignty and security in Argentine skies, as well as about the current government's foreign policy regarding the British military presence in the Malvina Islands. The lack of official communication from Argentine authorities regarding these flight permits generates concern and an information gap that fuels public debate and a wide range of suspicions .
