While the Tierra del Fuego courts moved forward with the annulment of LeoLabs Argentina SRL 's registration, new documents from the Northern Hemisphere have further exposed the true nature of the station installed at the "El Relincho" ranch. An official U.S. Space Force report , published in late February 2026 and reproduced by LeoLabs Inc., details how the Southern Guardians squadron collaborates closely with commercial industry to expand its surveillance over the Western Hemisphere .
Commercial data for military missions
The report, signed by Sergeant Abbey Rieves , recounts a visit by military commanders to commercial radar facilities similar to the one in Tolhuin. The statements of Captain Justin Lee , liaison officer for the Space Systems Command, leave no room for doubt: "Private industry can provide access to data on strategically valuable locations around the world."
This "integration" allows the US Space Force and also that of Great Britain to improve space superiority by using private sector technologies, identify foreign satellite systems and functions and assess risks to US and British assets in orbit; and obtain information in places that, for the military establishment, are currently "inaccessible".
The "Golden Dome" and integration with Argentina
LeoLabs ' relationship with the arms industry is not new. As we reported in Agenda Malvinas , the company has been part of strategic initiatives by the Donald Trump administration to integrate missile defense systems.
The official report also mentions that the United States is supplying optical telescopes to countries like Argentina, Brazil, and Chile under the pretext of "strengthening regional capabilities." However, the text clarifies that the real benefit for the U.S. is the data collected in these countries . In this scheme, the LeoLabs radar in Tolhuin provides a critical data hub that flows directly to both U.S. and British military commands.
The radar that "wasn't working"
Contrary to the "good faith" mentioned by Judge González regarding the radar's inactivity, this US military document describes an aggressive operational reality. If the US and UK Space Forces seek to "globally expand" their technology into our region, LeoLabs' continued presence in the heart of Tierra del Fuego is not an administrative error, but a geopolitical decision by Washington and London, and a demonstration of absolute submission by the governments of Alberto Fernández and Gustavo Melella, who in 2022 permitted the installation of the antenna array that constitutes the radar.
The end of the civil mask
This official report from the Southern Air Force (AFSOUTH) is definitive proof. LeoLabs doesn't make shoes , nor does it conduct disinterested astronomical research; it provides the eyes with which the northern powers monitor the South Atlantic and Antarctica .
With the provincial court's ruling that the company's license was nullified and the Pentagon's confirmation of the military use of this data, there are no more excuses. Dismantling the radar is not just a matter of municipal ordinances; it is the most urgent act of sovereign defense in our recent history .
What the Space Force (SPACEFOR-SOUTH) document says:
The "Anglo-American Axis" in the Heart of the Island
LeoLabs 's connection to the US military complex, recently confirmed by SPACEFOR-SOUTH , is only one side of the story. Agenda Malvinas has documented in detail that the firm also maintains strategic contracts with the UK Department for Space Affairs and the Ministry of Defence.
This dual dependency is significant. Although there are current political tensions between the leadership of both countries, cooperation in intelligence and space defense is historical and structural. The Tolhuin radar, registered under subsidiaries based in London and Dublin , serves as a data bridge for both powers, consolidating an infrastructure on Argentine soil that serves NATO's interests in the South Atlantic.
The latent threat
LeoLabs not only caters to the needs of the US Space Force for its "space superiority," but is also an active contractor for the UK—the same power that usurps our Malvina Islands.
The presence of a radar with these connections in Tierra del Fuego effectively means ceding control of our radio and space spectrum to the two main military actors in the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, the annulment of the company's registration, as decreed by the Tierra del Fuego court, takes on even greater significance when we understand that behind this administrative facade lie global defense agreements that directly affect our sovereignty .
Allowing LeoLabs to remain in Tolhuin is allowing the United Kingdom and the United States to have a joint military monitoring station in the heart of the province that has the Malvina Islands under its jurisdiction .
