<p>According to a report in the Daily Express newspaper, the Argentine Air Force is set to get a dozen Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer attack planes from Russia in return for foodstuff.</p>
<p>Due to this, the UK Ministry of Defense is in the process of reviewing the Falkland Islands air defenses. The delivery of the supersonic, all-weather attack aircraft could pose a threat to the islands, referred to as “Malvinas” by Argentina.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.janes.com/article/47293/uk-reviews-falklands-defence-as-russia-offers-su-24s-to-argentina#.VKGlicHf8gc.twitter" rel="nofollow">Jane’s, the islands current British air defenses</a> include four <a href="http://theaviationist.com/2014/10/31/tu-95-as-seen-from-typhoon/" title="Here are the photos of the Russian Tu-95 Bear bombers intercepted by RAF Typhoon jets" rel="nofollow">Eurofighter Typhoon jets,</a> Rapier SAM (Surface to Air Missile) systems, along with about 1,200 troops permanently stationed in the South Atlantic base.</p>
<p>Even though the <a href="http://theaviationist.com/2014/08/12/typhoon-role-anatolian-eagle/" title="Focus on Eurofighter Typhoons role in Exercise Anatolian Eagle in Turkey" rel="nofollow">Typhoons are modern enough</a> to deal with a dozen Su-24s, the Soviet-era twin-engined <a href="http://theaviationist.com/2014/07/02/su-24-mission-belly-cam/" title="Amazing video brings you aboard Russian Su-24 Fencer attack plane during bombing mission" rel="nofollow">two-seater</a> are able to perform <a href="http://theaviationist.com/2014/11/16/new-video-su-24-lowpass/" title="Video shows Su-24 Fencer attack plane perform an insane low-level flyby at unknown airbase" rel="nofollow">ultra-low level</a> surface and <a href="http://theaviationist.com/2014/04/14/su-24-buzzes-us-warship/" title="Russian Su-24 Fencer attack plane performs multiple passes near U.S. warship in Black Sea" rel="nofollow">maritime strike missions</a>. The planes can be outfitted with a wide variety of General Purpose as well as Laser Guided Bombs and stand-off missiles, such as the Kh-31 (AS-17 “Krypton”) anti-radiation and anti-shipping sea-skimming missiles.</p>
<p>We don’t know whether the potential deal includes armament; still the possible delivery of Su-24s to Argentina makes the Falkland Islands a bit more vulnerable to an attack by the <a href="http://theaviationist.com/2012/07/21/operation-mikado/" title='"Operation Mikado": A one way mission to wipe out Argentine Exocet Missiles during the Falklands War' rel="nofollow">Fuerza Aérea Argentina</a>.</p>
