* ION SAME > ARGENTINIAN DEFNCE MINSTER: LACK OF MODERN MILITARY TECHNOLOGIES, STRONG ECONOMY ALLOWS ARGENTINA TO WAGE ONLY A "TWO-HOUR" WAR [at best] AGZ BRITAIN OVER THE FALKLANDS.

"Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" Argentina in 2010 has even fewer operating = "ready" mil asets to fight than it did agz Thatcher, i.e. only 2 of 16 Argen Air Force strike planes, + 16 of 60 Argen Navy warships???

#4  Halli, not only is H2 cheaper, it has a lot more lift too. The Hindenburg was great, right up until the end.

#3  To fly the Sky Dragon blimp, "there is a need for ongoing helium to be provided, but it is at the cost of approximately 200,000 baht (6,000 U.S. dollars) per month,"

You could use Hydrogen. its a lot cheaper.
