Argentina deploys all its capabilities by land, sea and air and debuts the RBS-70 missile

The Argentine Minister of Defense, Jorge Taiana, and top military officials conducted a two-day testing cycle to strengthen cohesion among the armed forces and adjust plans for military equipment.

The exercises took place in Tandil, Azul, and Comandante Espora Naval Air Base, with real-time monitoring from a central operations center in Campo de Mayo.

The maneuvers, led by the Operational Command of the Armed Forces, focused on strategic areas of interest in Buenos Aires and the Southwest Atlantic.

They involved air, land, and maritime components, as well as electronic warfare and cyber warfare.

Various activities were carried out during the exercises.

These included artillery firing exercises, tank squadron training, aerial combat variations, simulated attacks on Sea Fleet units, and an air assault maneuver by special Army troops.

Participating units included the Sea Fleet with its destroyer, corvettes, OPV, and multipurpose ship.

Marine Infantry troops with amphibious vehicles, aircraft, tanks, helicopters, and special operations, electronic warfare, and cyber defense forces were also involved.

The Saab RBS-70 NG missile system, acquired by the Ministry of Defense, was employed during the activities.

These advanced missiles improve capabilities and promote equipment standardization and interoperability across the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

The upgraded NG version of the system features a laser guidance system, thermal and infrared camera, and can be used day and night in all weather conditions.

It has a range of 10 km and can reach heights of up to 5 km.

The system is portable and can be operated by a small team and mounted on light vehicles or naval platforms.
