military equipment and hitherto unknown in its components and details, including a squadron of at least ten Mirage V fighter-bombers, gunships guided missile AS30 were clandestinely shipped from Peru to Argentina, in April and May 1982. It was a joint operation and not any negotiated arms. An informal agreement between governments and armed forces armed forces, held in the utmost secrecy until now. Argentina had taken possession of the Falkland Islands on 2 April 1982. He had not miscalculated the reaction of Margaret Thatcher. The Royal British Armada moved across the Atlantic determined to eviction. U.S. preferences leaned toward England and the war had begun. Everything indicated that would be defined by air and sea. But The Skyhawk and Mirage III, the backbone of Argentina combat aircraft, did not have the necessary endurance. Mirage V fighter-bombers, made in Israel, M5P model belonging to the Air Force of Peru (FAP), however, could take off the southern tip of Argentina, to reach the Falklands, flying up to ten minutes over the target and back the continent. Were indicated. How do I get them? Went into action the historic brotherhood Peru-Argentina and institutional links and Amicale of political and military leaders of both countries. From one day to another, Mirage V fighter bombers of the FAP were taken from their hangars Chiclayo Headquarters Air Group No. 6, on the north coast and taken to the Air Base La Joya, Arequipa, south of the country. "One Saturday afternoon, probably in late April, landed in La Joya an Argentine Hercules staff them. Then came the Mirage" recalls an eyewitness. At that time, the FAP was commanded by Air Force General Hernán Boluarte. And the head of the Air Base La Joya, Major General FAP exercised César Gonzalo Luza, scoring one of the informants. Jewel In The logo was changed and enrollment of the Mirage. The colors of the Argentina flag replaced the red white and Peru. With the paint still fresh, but already became Force units Air Argentina, took flight into a dawn of the second half of April 1982 at four o'clock. It was a journey of nearly three thousand miles, from La Joya to Jujuy, and thence to the air base in Rio Gallegos, on the southern tip of Argentina. From the Jewel, the Mirage V flew to their destination flown by the PAF over Mimbela Rubén César Gallo, Mengoni and Mario Augusto Nuñez del Arco, among others. The flamboyant Argentine ships crossed the Bolivian sky above 25 thousand feet, in "silent flight (radio off) and not straight, to avoid ground radar. Since leaving Chicago, a Hercules of the FAP, originally Air Group No. 8 (based in Lima)-piloted by Colonel Dociteo Aliaga, with the greatest co-pilot Díaz-Silva, accompanied by a squadron of war. Inside the Hercules, about 15 mechanical technicians and a small number of officers huddled around a Mirage disarmed and misilería containers. "Boy, we had trouble entering the Mirage in the Hercules, although it will take off the wings," said one of the actors. The story took place in Chicago called into question the exact number of Mirage V delivered by Peru to Argentina. The amount of ten aircraft Mirage was revealed the only time a government official, Lt. Gen. Hernán Boluarte, former commanding general of the FAP was forced to touch the issue. I told the Peruvian Senate Investigating Committee that investigated the case of BCCI and the reduction of the purchase of Mirage 2000 aircraft in the restricted session on 23 September 1991. "In April 82-...- Boluarte said the Prime Minister (Manuel Ulloa. Editor's note) I asked if it was possible to give the Argentines some planes." "I told him that we could deliver up to ten, provided they are replaced within these new acquisitions (of Mirage 2000. Editor's note) that they were doing. So I agreed." Carlos Malpica in his last book "Birds flying high," brought out the testimony. Technical and officers who were part of the crew of the Peruvian Hercules, however, have insisted that the true number of Mirage V was assigned fourteen, not ten. It is possible that the number of aircraft have been rounded to the time of financial compensation, post-conflict. First was the delivery of solidarity, and after the war ended the general commander of the Air Force Argentina visited Peru to settle the issue of cost. "We sold 5 million dollars per plane." In other words, we paid 50 million dollars for a squad that had cost fifteen years ago, twenty million, informed the Senate committee the same Hernán Boluarte. The FAP set aside that amount to pay the initial fee of 26 Mirage 2000 fleet to be purchased shortly after the French Dassault. But Peru's military aid to Argentina in Falklands war full, rather than a commercial operation or negotiated arms, was a special joint action of military value. Not only a team but gave assistance and personnel training. There was more of a journey, but when one of the first, the personnel carrier squadron of Mirage arrived at the air base in Rio Gallegos, they received them in two compatriots: Carlos Portillo, aircraft pilot Sukoi FAP, and Ruben Crovetto, PAF Mirage aircraft pilot. Both were ahead and probably referring to them was that the correspondent of the local news agency "Diary and News" launched the world a sensational news at that time. Reported that Peruvian Mirage aircraft, made in France, had come to an air base in southern Argentina on 12 April, between 5 and 8 pm. In fact, the squadron would days later. Crovetto instructed Argentine pilots in the peculiarities of the Mirage V, M5P model of the FAP. Carlos Portillo acted as advisor. It carried
military equipment to Argentina from Israel's share of the Peruvian Navy
decided Equally important was the contribution of the Peruvian Navy to boost the country's military brother Argentina during the Falklands War. Navy of Peru contributed no less than in the transport of military equipment from Israel to Argentina, during those critical months of April and May 1982, the country was fighting brother with the powerful British Navy. The testimony of this was entrusted to "The Republic" by an admiral of the Navy of Peru held a senior position in the command of the institute in those days and requested the condition of anonymity. Attested the fact. Asked ours, explained that "the transport of material was straightforward and without triangulation of any kind", but declined to give further details. He stressed that the support Argentina was a total, unrestricted and unconditional, it was believed that the Rio Treaty (Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance) was valid and should defend all American countries. "Unfortunately the greatest power in the TIAR interested him more good relations with their British ancestors with their Latin American neighbors." He acknowledged that the main support to Argentina by Peru "was conducted by Air Force, in a truly extraordinary effort." But the Navy got its share. How important was the contribution navy says the fact that a diver Peru, the Peruvian Navy Captain Luis Samanez del Risco, was decorated by the Argentine government. The distinction, one of the highest, was returned by the commander politely Samanez was evident in 1995 when the official participation of the government of Buenos Aires in Argentina arms trafficking to Ecuador. As is known, the Exocet missile, manufactured by France, which holds the Navy of Peru, was one of the decisive weapons in the war. An English Exocet sank the aircraft carrier Sheffield. As was made public in due course, an office of eight Exocet missiles for the Peruvian Navy, which had come to our country in May 1982, were held without convincing reasons providers until after the war. A naval source said that manufacturers learned that Peru had decided to divert the material to Argentina. Knew "said the source, due to the indiscretion of Argentine naval attache in Paris, who came to the factory to ask if they were ready for Peru's Exocet. Other marine support particular item was the staffing of 17 to 19 torpedoes in those days came from the arsenals of our Navy to go to strengthen the Argentine ships. Unfortunately some of these torpedoes Peruvians went down with the sinking of the ship Santa Fe Argentina. Navy of Peru also provided electronic parts for vital equipment such as radars and fire control systems. Everything

(comment by an Argentinian on support from Peru to Argentina during the Falklands War) Very good your post. We have always known the important assistance provided by your country to mine, and we, the Argentines, we commit no words to thank you. Gloria Peru, brother of the Argentine people unconditionally.
The details that tell the story only serve to demonstrate the lack of aid, curiously questioned by some other forista Chile. I would add to your story, that as the FAA was short of additional tanks to its delta, since the first opportunity they had to throw to streamline your configuration, FAP, provided several tanks of 1700 liters, there are several pictures showing the M-III and Daggers parked in the middle of conflict, with additional tanks, of another color? If the Peruvian. You know that even as of the date are still active, call us MARA, the Patagonian hare far as I know, nine of them survived because one was lost in an accident. Someday we will know the whole story, just a matter of waiting, and then act toward those who value honor and loyalty we feel extremely proud and who had not done so, tell their thirty pieces of silver and look the other way. Everyone knows what he has done and although some endeavor to defend his attitude, deep down you know that at least was unfortunate.
