Secretary of State for Defence, Michael Fallon said in Parliament that the islands will see increased security, among others by sending two Chinook transport helicopters and improved system air missiles. In addition, the government will spend about 180 million pounds ($ 270 million) to improve the main port of the island until 2017, as well as other defenses in the next decade, said Fallon. London spends every year millions of pounds in the security and maintenance of the islands, so the British presence there is disputed between racks even in the European country.

Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, London rejected the decision to strengthen the defense system of the Falkland Islands to the lively from Argentina to re-invade threat. The Argentine Government reiterates that dialogue and negotiation, not weapons, are the only way to resolve the issue, said the president. It is a sad and unfortunate paradox a March 24, 39 years after the coup of 1976 that will feature the silence of many powers, is used to the Falkland Islands as a matter of election campaign in the UK and repeatedly invokes a war started 32 years ago by the genocidal dictatorship, which meant greater political, social, economic and cultural tragedy for the people of Argentina stressed.

The paper argues that besides unlikely, it is absolutely unjustifiable that the ghost of a shake Argentina alleged threat to raise the British military budget and consolidate the growing militarization of the islands. The Argentine government again urged the United Kingdom to sit at the negotiating table. Argentina and Britain fought a war over the islands in 1982 after an invasion ordered by the military dictatorship that ruled the South American country.

The islands count again with helicopters, since the middle of this year will reach two Chinook that had been deployed in Afghanistan. This way you will have permanent air transport and responsiveness to any emergency after the helicopters were removed in 2006. In January defensa.com analyze in detail the military plans for the Malvinas / Falklands, confirming that the Rapier systems will be replaced with the terrestrial version of FLAADS called FLAADS (L) which in turn is derived from the Naval Sea Ceptor of MBDA, elected to the British frigates and also recently chosen by Brazil for future corvettes.
