Thanks, dear Nuuumannn, this ones are a bit oldies, 2003, launching the wire guided missile AS12 from naval Aerospatiale Alouette III, both systems withdrawn from service in 2008.

The AS 12. I have seen a Wasp carrying a couple of AS 12 but normally 2 sometimes 4 x AS 11. As usual in a Wasp when carrying a full weapon load, we normally had to take the doors off.

In the Falklands role I belive in the the Wessex was sometimes used in the assult role with the AS 11 or 12. IIRC on one occaision the Argentines didn't know exactly where they were but knew they were behind a hill, so instead of trying to use AA weapons fired air burst artillery over the ridge. A simple but effective method of solving the problem, it didn't shoot anyhting down but the Wessex crews got the message, did the sensible thing and left.

The combination Scout/as12 was used by the british to disable the submarine ARA Santa Fe

In the Marines is the standard vehicle, in the army it only serve with some cavalry and recce regiments. The Air force also have a few, mostly the M1097 comunications variant.

The Air Force received some days ago the first batch of Grob 120Tp from germany. Apparently this going to be the basic trainer for the two services (AAF /Navy) in the following years. Cute little turboprop.

Good shots!

Had an aerobatic flight in one of those a couple of years ago, good fun (and relatively easy) to fly.

 

[vikingBerserker]

They do look pretty cool.

Thank you lads, the winglets make him a very elegant one indeed. They replace the EMB-312 and B-45 Mentor, the Mentor flies no longer from 2010, in regards of the Tucano is said they going to be converted in COIN/Drug interception planes.

Very nice to see CB, great images; not something we get to see too often; keep it up.

A few years ago, a Japanese whaler had violated New Zealand's Exclusive Economic Zone chasing Sea Shepherd.
NZ government requested Japanese government apology but it was neglected.
I think NZ should have captured the vessel or imposed penalty like Russians always do.

It is impossible for parents to teach their kids all rules in the society in advance.
My parents often asked their neighbors "Please scold my son if he did anything wrong".
With such advice, I was detained by police when I was 7 and stopped playing with fire.

The argentine fishermen arent happy either... after years of fish resources being ripped off by foreigners.

Warning shots of the coast Guard CG-28 patrol ship against this illegal flotilla, this was filmed a couple of days before the sinkinkgof the YuYU 10.
