Bad intentioned information about the Argentines destroyed planes
In this article it is not given importance to the fact that the most of the argentine planes destroyed were destroyed during air to surface combats, no into air to air combats. Hehex2020 (talk) 21:02, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Frankly I don't get what you mean by "Bad intentioned information". I am Argentine, and as far as I know, the Sea-Harriers shot down 20/21 Navy's and Air Force for only one kill by our forces, a Scout chopper over Goose Green (two if you want (see Bluff Cove air attacks), but this would be original research according to WP rules). Claims to the contrary have proven to be wrong, even by Argentine authors. Same thing for air-to-surface combat, as you say: four Harrier/Sea Harriers plus a couple of helicopters on our side, for 19 shot down by British naval and ground AA fire. So, except that you want to cite the Junta's daily reports as reliable sources, yup, it's true, Argentine naval and aerial forces lost 100+ aircraft shot down/destroyed/crashed/captured for 36 of the Task Force.---Darius (talk) 22:25, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks Darius, I've tried to explain to this guy about WP:FRINGE but he is determined to right WP:GREATWRONGS in his mind. On another article he is claiming an Argentine soldier armed with a swiss army knife killed half of the SAS (slight exaggeration).  WCM email 00:22, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Never mind, J. Some people here still don't distinguish between the due respect to our vets and the wild claims of the dictatorship, it maybe they are too young or too naive. Don't worry about this particular bloke; he will eventually give up or be permanently blocked. Nice to hear from you again, my best wishes.--Darius (talk) 13:09, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I did take a peak and the text was ambiguous, I have clarified and added a cite. Are you able to provide a cite for the losses on the mainland?  WCM email 11:32, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The 100 figure (which also appears in Burden et al{{'}s Falklands: The Air War) appears to include at least one accidental loss, that of a Lynx helicopter - which doesn't seem to be related directly to operations in the Falklands. There were also five Falkland island registered civil aircraft destroyed in the war, mainly by British bombs/artillery fire. It is probably worth saying that the figures quoted for both sides include direct combat losses (from air-to-air and ground-to-air fire, losses on the ground (by bombs, shellfire and the SAS), aircraft that were captured (in various conditions - only a few of which were airworthy or capable of being made airworthy),aircraft lost aboard ships that were damaged or sunk and accidents. At the moment that isn't clear to the reader.Nigel Ish (talk) 12:27, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestion, I've added a caveat along the lines suggested. Over to you Darius for a cite. WCM email 14:03, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Not an exhaustive list at hand, J., but I found this article about the crash of a Bell UH-1H and a Pucará, both of them off Caleta Olivia while patrolling the coast between late April and May 1982. They were carrying out these operations within the area know by the FF AA as "TOAS" (Teatro de Operaciones del Atlántico Sur), that included, besides the "TOM" (around the Falklands, Georgias and Sandwich), Argentina's economic exlusive zone. Destroyer ARA Santísima Trinidad also lost a Sea Lynx in this area during the withdrawal of the Argentine Fleet in early May.--Darius (talk) 16:10, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The Lynx and the Pucara are included in the 100 figure given in Burden et al - the UH-1 isn't.Nigel Ish (talk) 16:45, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

I am not using junta’s information, I am telling that the most of the Argentines loses were in air to surface combatas, no in air to air combats. Hehex2020 (talk) 13:17, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

According to the study: http://www.radarmalvinas.com.ar/hundimientos/aviones_argentinos.pdf The quantity of Argentine planes destroyed by British forces are 41-43, adding the destroyed by friendly fire, the crashed and the captured the total quantity is approximately 68. This quantity can be tested by the article of the war what has a similar quantity of losses. Hehex2020 (talk) 21:55, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The cited source only lists fixed-wing planes; it fails to take in account the choppers by all causes, plus a couple of Pucará losses in the mainland (within the TOAS).--Darius (talk) 23:15, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

In That article appear the word “plane” not "aircraft" or "choppers and planes". Also in my source listed planes destroyed in the air and in the land like the destroyed during the attack pebble island. Hehex2020 (talk) 01:17, 11 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Just some boring facts using Falklands Air War "FAW" and the spanish language PDF "PDF" linked above -


 * 1 The PDF claims seven MB339 losses, although only six aircraft appear to have been deployed and one returned to the mainland.
 * 2 The PDF claims ten Pucara were captured but the FAW lists 25 losses.

So clearly not a real issue with the current entry on the page. MilborneOne (talk) 08:56, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
