Keesje,
I see that you are quoting and presenting articles from Argentine Minister of Foreign Relations, Héctor Timerman. Have you ever seen the presentation at the UN by Timerman? This is the man that claimed that HMS Vanguard (SSBN) was deployed in the South Atlantic and that you obviously take as fact.
See from 04:20
The fun and games continue at 06:56 with claims that the UK has deployed Taurus missiles on Eurofighter Typhoons in the Falklands.
The presentation was poorly researched and made him look like an idiot. If this was compiled using information from Argentine Intelligence then they need sacking. The 'researcher' simply lifted the Taurus missile image from Wiki. If he/she had scrolled down then they would have found out who operates Taurus. Certainly not the UK.

See more fun and games at 07:56 and another example of idiocy where he points out 'RADAR HF SUPERDARN'. He claims that it is some sort of super secret world wide communications network and part of the militarization of the South Atlantic. Obviously the compiler of the 'research' is into conspiracy theories. It is like the conspiracy loons that think High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is a military weapon and used to control the weather and cause earthquakes. Is this the best that Argentine Military Intelligence can do? Timerman was made to look like a complete idiot. In reality it is an international project that includes China, Japan and several other nations and data is made available on the internet.
What is SuperDARN
SuperDARN stands for Super Dual Auroral Radar Network. This network consists of over 20 radars operating on frequencies between 8 and 20 MHz and looking into the polar regions of the Earth. These radars can measure the position and velocity of charged particles in the Earth's ionosphere, the highest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. Because the movements of these particles are tied to the movements of the Earth's magnetic field which, in turn, extends into space, SuperDARN data provides scientists with information regarding the Earth's interaction with the space environment.
The HF radar is located at Goose Green.

The Falklands radar is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The radar is collaboration between the University of Leicester which supplied the masts, and BAS, which provided the electronic equipment.
“The electronics come from a long-established BAS radar station which is currently being moved and rebuilt because it’s on an ice shelf which is slipping into the sea,” explains Dr Milan. “When the equipment came back to the UK for refurbishment, we realized that we could combine it with a spare set of antennas and temporarily establish a station on the Falklands.”
The radar station was built with the aid of engineers from Leicester and BAS over several weeks at the start of this year and went operational on 14 February. It is based at Goose Green, a remote community which was the site of a famous battle during the 1982 Falklands conflict.

The radar at Goose Green joins the SuperDARN network and the data is made available on the internet.

There is also a SuperDARN radar in the Falklands that is funded by the US as part of the international project
