The British boast of the freedom they have to conduct military exercises in the Malvinas.

The British armed forces are increasing their presence in the Malvina Islands, where they are conducting unrestricted air training, according to the pro-British media outlet Mercopress. The lack of a decisive response from the Argentine government underscores its inaction in the face of the militarization of the territory.

Military exercises in the Malvinas are intensifying, and colonial ambitions over Antarctic resources are emerging.

A recent report published by the pro-British media outlet Mercopress once again highlights the activities of the British armed forces in the Malvina Islands , where the Royal Air Force (RAF) enjoys "unparalleled freedom" to conduct aerial training. According to the report, the archipelago's clear skies and limited aerial activity allow RAF pilots to maneuver without restrictions .

This context reinforces the role of the Mount Pleasant base as a central axis in the United Kingdom's militarization strategy in the territories seized from Argentina in the South Atlantic.

However, Javier Milei's presidency has yet to issue a formal condemnation of these activities from either the diplomatic or military sphere, revealing a worrying inaction regarding the situation.

The article published by the propaganda outlet of the usurpers of the far south bears the provocative title "Unparalleled conditions for the training and formation of combat pilots" in the Malvina Islands .

" They offer Royal Air Force (RAF) jet pilots unparalleled training conditions, thanks to the cloudless skies and lack of air traffic ," notes the website that supports British colonialism.

They add that " the benefits of being able to train in the Malvinas are compounded by the fact that in the United Kingdom, as in Europe in general, low-level flights are heavily criticized for noise, fear, and damage, while in the Islands, apart from the occasional frightened sheep, they are applauded and appreciated ."

Prior to 1986, and during the South Atlantic War, the United Kingdom had vertical clearance Harriers operating from the aircraft carriers HMS Hermes and HMS Invincible, which London sent for the recovery of the Islands in 1982,” they mention on the website . “This was the Sea Harrier version, considered one of the most effective combat aircraft, achieving an incredible 23 to 0 ratio in aerial combat against its opponents from the Argentine Air Force. Two Sea Harriers were shot down, but by ground fire .”

The continued deployment of military forces in the vicinity of Antarctica underlines Britain's determination to maintain a war-fighting capability in the region through regular air exercises and Royal Navy patrols.

British troops in the Malvinas have recently seen an expansion with the participation of Section 2 of the Royal Gurkha Fusiliers, which carried out Exercise "Marinization."

Although London justifies these training sessions as a protective measure for the islands' inhabitants, there is a more complex undercurrent involving strategies to consolidate its influence in Antarctica, where areas are disputed between Argentina, Chile, and the United Kingdom.

It is clear that the Anglo-Saxon imperialists intend to maintain the domination by force that they have exercised in the area since 1833 , when the usurping army expelled the legitimate Argentine authorities from the islands .

Historically, Argentina has denounced these types of exercises before international organizations, arguing that they contradict the principle of demilitarization of the South Atlantic.

However, the lack of a forceful stance by the current government of Javier Milei and its closeness to the US and Great Britain , reveals a strategy of inaction that could have long-term consequences in the sovereignty dispute , but which in the short term are also manifested through this kind of information that reveals the power and impunity with which the usurpers operate.

Since the 1982 war , the United Kingdom has established a strong military infrastructure on the islands . The Mount Pleasant base houses not only Eurofighter Typhoon fighters and air defense systems, but also new naval additions such as the patrol vessel HMS Forth and the icebreaker HMS Protector . The recent conduct of the RRS Sir David Attenborough , which passed through Argentine waters, has also raised controversy and concern.

Additionally, the British media outlet The Telegraph has revealed that the United Kingdom has strategic plans to exploit resources in Antarctica, a territory claimed by Argentina . The article, titled " The Antarctic oil bonanza could save Britain, but we must get there before Argentina does ," highlights the growing aspirations of British colonialism in the region.
